"Every team choosing a track have to know and grant it is a legal conversion with permission of the creator."[/FONT]

NEW RULE

As it was not stated at rules before, we will discount a raced event to the drivers who had a disconection while joining the grid, or in the starting grid as happened to Ben Tusting or Darren Gardner this current seasson (STC Black Cup 09).

But from now on, a driver who have completed the full qualifying session will be considered as he have raced the event. The new rule says:

"It will be considered a driver have raced an event if he completes the full qualyfication and warm up session and gets into the race session, even if he doesn´t join the grid."

Rule added to Rules & Regulations section.

NEW RULE

"A Driver racing for a different team than he was registered to race with, will lose the points and the position of the race in question as a first warning.
If the same team use a wrong driver for a second time, both teams involved will receive the penalty."

NOTE** Rule will apply retroactively for both DHR Fanatec cars, who have clearly violated this rule at Donington Parks´race tonight. It will apply retroactively because it is not a new rule, it was cleraly stated at rules and only the penalty was up to be decided. Now it is.

Rule is already included in the Rules & Regulations section.

NEW RULE

"No team will be able to add more drivers or modify the entry list for the series once there are only 3 races remaining to the end of the seasson. It means, no modifications after Race 7. Only in a emergency case, and after consultation with STC staff some changes will be allowed."

This rule will be applied from STC Blue Cup 2010 onwards, and not in the current seasson.

Rule already added in the Rules & Regulations section.

Last rule updated.

NEW RULE

A list of 2 names for each grid will be posted in the Race Alocations section by the teams, as late, every Thursday at 14:00 CET. As said before, each grid consists of 26 drivers. Teams will receive the points depending the position they finish the event. A team not posting the drivers to participate in the event will have no rights to set a qualyification time.

FORMAT CHANGE

As seen in some of the last rounds there have been disconections during the qualy and the driver have been not able of rejoin the server, so there is not much use in keeping with the current format, as it is not possible to rejoin the server during the warm up. Apart of this reasson, in most of the real life series there is not warm up session anymore, so we will use next format from now on:

PRACTICE - 30 mins
QUALY - 20 mins *
RACE - 90 mins

* QUALY will be considered the first 10 minutes, and then we will do the briefing in the next 10 minutes. But with this format, if someone falls from the server will be able to rejoin.

NEW RULE

Hello guys, we will apply this next rule since next race at Sugo.

A team spokesman with 2 missed polls will get a penalty of -10 points automatically, and since then it will be a -5 points on each misssed poll.

Remember:

1. Incident investigations can be sent to the STC staff friday or saturday after the race as late, and the poll will be closed on first tuesday after the weekend.
2. All the teams, including the parts involved in the incident have to vote.

Thanks for reading,
David

RULE UPDATE regarding formation lap.

When race control types Green Flag, no car will overtake before crossing the start/finish line but you can start racing with race pace, and Green Flag can be shown in last corner or 10 meters before the start finish line depending on the track itself and the Race Direction decision. Just be ready to accelerate then.

 

[David Garcia]

Remember:

No team will be able to add more drivers or modify the entry list for the series once there are only 3 races remaining to the end of the seasson. It means, no modifications after Race 7. Only in a emergency case, and after consultation with STC staff some changes will be allowed.

And:

same driver can only start 5 races in STC, and in the case same driver starts more than five races he will have no right to set a qualyfication time and will end the warm up lap following the safety car to the pit lane doing a drive through while the others start the race.

Red flag race & massive disconections

In case of at least 5 cars disconnecting in an interval of some seconds, the race will be red-flagged by race control and it will be restarted behind the safety car following the positions the drivers had before the incident if the race has not passed 70 minutes before the incident. If the race has been going on for more than 70 minutes by the time the incident happens it won´t be relaunched and is considered finished with full points given.

If the race is stopped before half-time and restarted behind the safety car, the restarted race will last a maximum of 45 minutes. In case of the race having passsed half-time, only the time remaining till the end of the original race will be set for the restarted race. As an example if the race is stopped at minute 60, the race will be restarted with 30 minutes to go.

For the restarted race, the server settings will be identical to the original ones, except for duration, of course.

In case of a red-flagged race, it is each individual player's responsibility to rejoin the newly set up server as quickly as possible and to join in an open teamspeak room so as to receive all relevant information. Moreover, race direction will post the decision made and all relavant data on the forum as soon as possible after the incident.
