MSA TORA TASCAR Season 3 - Meeting 7 - Popsi Max 200 - 7th September 2013

Race Meeting Set-Up

We ask that all competitors are on Xbox live at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the race meeting, and appear online. Where necessary, if each competitor could post "In" in the relevant race meeting thread on the TORA forums. Anyone who wishes to race without posting "In" will need to wait for the race meeting organizers confirmation before being allowed to race. Certain factors may come into account, such as if there are 16 people racing, and one person who hasn't posted in would cause a split lobby of 9 and 8 in each lobby, in decision making for those not posted in before the event.

Qualifying

Qualifying for Meeting 5 will start at 9:30pm BST (4:30pm EDT)
- Lobby set to 4 laps. Out-lap, 2 Flying Laps, In-lap. Clean Laps take priority over Dirty Laps, so Make them count!
- One Driver will qualify at a time. Once the Game countdown lets us go, All drivers will line up as if exiting Pit Lane, Similar to how Round 1's Qualifying session ran. On Lap 4, line up as if ready to Enter pit lane. Times will be gathered once all drivers are complete

Rolling Start
Competitors will form up behind the Safety Car to start the Formation/Pace Lap in a 2-by-2 fashion. The Pole Sitter will have choice over which side of the Grid to start on. We ask all drivers to listen to the lobby host for the pace speed and grid order. Once everyone is in position, And the Lead driver(s) pass the Pit Entrance, The person on pole for the given lobby can begin the 3-2-1 countdown when he/she desires.

Mandatory Pit Stops
There is 1 mandatory pit stop in each race (or race segment). Taking your pit stop under a Safety Car/Caution period will count as your Mandatory pit. You may not pit within the first 5 laps or last 5 laps of a race or race segment (First 3 or Last 3 laps at Old Mulsanne layout of Le Mans due to lower lap count.)

Race Rules

Safety Car/Caution Rules

When The Safety Car is Used
The Safety Car will be deployed when TWO or more drivers are involved in an incident and severely impairs their progress. Only driver(s) involved in an incident may request the Safety Car to the Lobby Captain. A Safety Car can be called up to the penultimate lap of the race. Once the leader has crossed the line to start the Final Lap, the caution/Safety Car cannot be called.

Forming up for a Safety Car Period
When the Safety Car period is agreed upon, and goes into effect, the Lead Driver at the time of the Safety Car 'Call', will act as the Safety Car and pace around the track at the track's designated 'pace' speed. All will form in single-file. SEEING THE STOCK CARS DO NOT HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS, PLEASE DO NOT SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. THIS WILL CAUSE CHAOS. PLEASE JUST LET OFF THE THROTTLE AND FORM UP CAREFULLY!!!

Conduct During a Safety Car Period
While under the Safety Car period, Those involved in the incident MUST line up at the back of the grid. All competitors are free to pit under the Safety Car/Caution period, but must form back up in order when they left pit lane at the back of the grid. Once Everyone has rejoined the field, the field will line up Side-By-Side in the positions they are currently in. Once the Leader has passed the Final Corner, he can call out the restart by counting down "3..2..1..Go/Green."

Lucky Dog Award
The Lucky Dog Award is used under Caution/Safety Car periods only. The first person 1 lap behind will be awarded the 'Lucky Dog' to get back on the Lead lap, and allowed to pass the lead cars under caution and lining back up at the back of the field. The drivers involved in the incident that brought out the current Safety Car/Caution period, are not eligible for the 'Lucky Dog'.

"Green-White-Checkered"
The "Green-White-Checkered" rule takes effect when a Safety Car/Caution is called on the penultimate lap. the Final Lap will end under caution in present order each driver is in at the time of caution. Once all drivers are back to the main lobby, the race settings will change to 3 laps, for the Green-White-Checkered attempt. One the 1st lap, will be to form up in order drivers finished the 'Scheduled Distance.' Lap 2 & 3 are green flag laps. If there is an incident on the first green flag lap, the safety car/caution Can be called, and the 3rd lap in this 'attempt' will end under caution, and once everyone gets back to the main lobby, We will have another "Green-White-Checkered" attempt. 3 Attempts are the maximum. As stated above, Once the Leader crosses the Start/Finish line to start the Final Lap, The Safety Car cannot be called.

Race Restarts
The race lobby is subject to One restart attempt if more than 50% of the lobby is involved in a major incident within the first lap. Everyone will head back to the race lobby, and try again, forming up the same as the grid formation before. if another major incident occurs, standard Safety Car rules take effect.


-----Safety Car Speed for Sunset Oval is: 90mph-----

Congratulations VAMR WILSON on the win! That was close stuff between you and CaiN! One of the closest finishes in TASCAR surely??

So glad to get 3rd place after the nightmare of stint 1. All thanks to Bandit and Mario for some superb bumping!

 Great racing in both legs of lobby B, thanks to everyone for your close clean racing. I promise to do better next time. Congratulations to Hunty for the win, he was just too fast for me to hold on to in the second race and then I messed up my pit entry... the rest will go down in history as what not to do.

Thanks for not laughing too much at least to my face...

thanks a lot for hosting Blackbird!
excellent job, smooth, fast, just great work!
to everyone in lobby B, fantastic racing, clean, calm, everyone spoke when it was needed, and didn't when it didn't need to happen, close, clean racing, no safety cars, some of the best racing i've had in this series, and possibly in all of TORA

Glad to hear B lobby ran smoothly! Congrats on the B win Hunty!

Brilliant Job on the hosting Blackbird! And Erebus... what can I say.... 7 changes on the last lap to finish .005 away from you.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO was the expression on my face, but seriously A HUGE shoutout to ALL of LOBBY B! It was brilliant racing tonight.........


...... Congrats Team Boss on the win!!

for once getting lapped helped! and a lot!
would've gotten 5th at best if it didn't happen

That. That is unbelievable. [Censored] !

Congratulations to VAMR Wilson!! Do not think your win at the Benchmark Oval the last time was this close. 0.006 seconds gap from Wilson to CaiN. Congrats guys. did all i could to push jgroves to make it a closer match but ran out of laps.

I knew I had to build a gap at the restart, the car was almost in the 43.7s in clear air so If I could push Cain along we would pull away. I really didn't think going round the outside of 3/4 would work but damn it JUST did!

i don't think the replay reached the end, but i so hope it did, it was that close!!

I have a picture on page 1 Mark:D 

so it did! awesomesauce. i saw the time at the end, and i had to do a double-take
