TORAus StockHatch Series 1 - General Discussion

Rules and Regulations wrote:7.0 QUALIFYING RULES

7.1 CERTIFICATION:
Each driver must have a certified lap achieved on their first lap.  A slow cautionary lap must be carried out by every driver, staying on the track and away from the grass, curbs, and walls.  If the lap becomes non-certified, the driver will have to sacrifice another lap to achieve this very simple task--so go slow and be careful.  All non-certified times will be placed behind certified times in order of fastest to slowest.

7.2 Qualifying sessions will consist of seven laps total; one warm-up lap, five timed laps, one cool-down lap.  Please space out on the opening lap to give each other room so you can all have clear, unimpeded qualifying laps.
7.2.1 LAG OUT:
Any driver that lags out or leaves the session after the first timed lap (i.e. Lap 2 or after) will have their best time used as displayed by the results screen.  Any driver that lags out or leaves the session prior to the first timed lap, there will be a restart of the qualifying session.
7.2.2 LATE QUALIFYING:
If you are late on arrival for qualifying, you may still get to qualify with a reduced three laps (one warm-up and two timed laps) upon Series Organizers’ discretion. If it holds up Race Night proceedings however, you will not be able to qualify and will be placed at the back of the grid.

7.3 All drivers must stop on the first corner of the circuit on the cool-down lap for the Lobby Marshal or host to record the times.

7.4 The Lobby Marshal will input the times into the relevant document, or pass on the information to someone who can.

7.5 All qualifying will be conducted in the DAY on DRY tracks.

TORAus StockHatch Series 1 - Livery Rules wrote:All participants should have their car numbers placed in 5 locations; the 2 sides, the rear, the hood and the roof which should be easy to read, in addition to displaying the TORA url in 4 locations; the 2 sides, the rear and the front, which again, must be easily viewable (see below).



STRICTLY PROHIBITED LIVERY DESIGNS:
- Tobacco sponsorship
- Illicit drug sponsorship/depiction
- Explicit/offensive designs
- Tinted windows

Participants should change the vinyl shape of the numbers to that of their own car number--not the font.  Do not alter the size of the group, other than on the Hood (size 0.90) and the Roof (0.80) from the original.  The car must display "TheOnlineRacingAssociation.com" and should be easily visible in your livery design.  All mandatory graphics must appear on top of the car's design and in all locations shown above.  Search TSHS1 for all mandatory graphics.

Teams must run the same--or as similar as possible--paintjob, although differences such as displaying gamertags and nationality flags are permitted.  If there is more than one team from a club, for example, then they may run the same design but have different base paints or colours to show the difference.

TORA reserves the right to penalise drivers or teams for misconduct of the above rules.

MANDATORY GRAPHICS
Number Plate - Both doors, hood, and roof (see above example for exact locations)
StockHatch Series # - Sides and rear (see above example for encouraged locations)
TORA url - All four sides (see above example for encouraged locations)
TORA logo - Rear mandatory (see above example for encouraged location), other locations per driver/designer preference
Driver Number - Rear mandatory (see above example for encouraged location)

NOTE:  Locations may slightly vary by car but should approximate the example above

If you haven't already found this out, FM6 does not have a storefront as FM4 did.  Liveries, vinyls, and tunes are shared.  Nothing is gifted, either.  Once downloaded, they are locked.

Ben, you could always start at the back of the grid of the lowest lobby.  And that will be Lobby 1 unless nearly everyone who signed up shows up.
