TCR German Touring Car Championship Season 4 Rules & Registration

RULES AND DRIVING ETIQUETTE
The German Touring Car Championship is a non-contact sport. But, some contact might be unexpected or unavoidable. If you feel that you have been wrecked on purpose, please insert a Steward's Inquiry about it and the Race Stewards will take a look at it. If we hear any reports on lag from a driver, please report it to me and I will tell the driver who is causing the lag to fix his/her connection. The only possible penalty for lag is to start from the rear of the field to avoid any first lap collisions.

I expect each and every competitor that attends at any of the championship meetings to behave and communicate in a respectable manner to every single competitor and steward. If you feel a comment may be offensive, hurtful, etc., then please don't say it at all. On the track, if you feel you gained a spot unfairly, then please give the spot back UNLESS the other driver(s) have either spun or crashed.

You may get only one block per straightaway per vehicle. Any second movements that get reported to the Stewards will most likely result in a lost of positions, depending on the effect of the second block. It is not considered blocking if the driver is getting prepared to enter a corner, which will give that driver the right to move to the appropriate side of the track to take the corner, if there is any sufficient room.

If at any moment of the race a driver goes off the track, please be very watchful when you see that driver joining the track. Depending on where the driver went off depends on the action everyone has to do. If the driver is rejoining the track at the exit of the corner, then that driver has to wait until all drivers pass by. If the driver is rejoining the track on a straightaway, then all oncoming cars must give the rejoining driver room to enter the track in a safe manner. Failure to comply to this will result in lost positions, depending on the severity.

All racing and passing must be made on the race track. If a part of a track gives you a dirty lap, you are not allowed to use that part of the track. If you use the run-off of the track to gain positions, then you may either be asked to give all spots back or lose positions at the end of the race if you fail to do so. You may use all the run-off you want if you are avoiding a wreck.


CHAMPIONSHIPS
The German Touring Car Championship will have the use of four championships. These championships are: Driver, Team, Privateer, and Manufacturer.

DRIVER CHAMPIONSHIP: This championship is simple and straight forward. All drivers are by themselves when earning these points. The points will be scored starting at 200 for first place and then subtract one point for every position down.

TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: This championship is to determine the team with the most points at the end of the season. Both drivers will score points for their team. A team is allowed only to have two drivers.

PRIVATEER CHAMPIONSHIP: This championship will determine the privateer with the most points at the end of the season.

MANUFACTURER CHAMPIONSHIP: This championship will determine which manufacturer ran the best all season long. This will be fought between Audi and Mercedes-Benz. The two highest finishing drivers running that manufacturer will score points for that manufacturer.


RACE DAY

QUALIFYING
All qualifying will take place before the race starts.  Qualifying will consist of one warm-up lap, two flying laps, and a cool down lap.  On the cool down lap, I ask all drivers to stop in the first corner to allow the marshal time to take down all the times.  Clean laps take priority over dirty laps.

RACE
On race day, please be on 10-15 minutes before the start of the race so I can hand out invites for the race.

You are allowed to use any assists you wish. So, you can have everything at the easiest level or everything on the hardest level. The damage will be on cosmetic.

All races will be a standing start.

All meetings will use a sprint/feature format.  Sprint races will be ~25 miles long and feature races will be ~50 miles.

The sprint race will be lined up by qualifying results.  The feature race will be lined up by combined lobby points ascending (in reverse).

Once the race starts, I expect clean racing from everyone and hopefully a good race. A caution will be thrown when either someone crashes or two or more cars spin. Off-road excursions will not throw out the caution. When the caution is thrown, the leader will pick up the field at a slow speed and pace them around the track until all drivers have caught up. You are allowed to pit if you want to under the caution. If the caution is still out at the last turn with three laps to go, all cars will stop in the final corner and there will be a two lap shootout from there. There will be no more cautions once there are two laps to go. All restarts will be two-wide. Whoever is in first gets choice of left or right side. Odds have to be in the same line as the leader and evens will have to be in the same line as the second place driver.

At the completion of the race, the marshal will record the finishing results and tally up the points. No bonus points will be rewarded. So, you could lead all the laps, but wreck on the last lap and not get any points for all of that leading.  Anyone that lags out before the conclusion of the race will be placed in the back of the grid.

Cheers, WARSPITE!

What time does it start?

Also I'm assuming it's just the Audi and Mercedes?

The races are at 7:00 PM British time.

That is correct. The Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class are the only two cars allowed.
