MSA TORA TASCAR Season 3 - Finale - Nippon 150 - 2nd November 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 for Meeting 5 will start at 9:30pm GMT (5:30pm 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. 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.

Wildcard entry  

I'll try swap shifts if I'm working. So psyched for this.

Would love to win 3 ovals in a season not sure if its been done before.

I'd love to win my 2nd TASCAR race! (And 1st title ;)Please Mario, you've already got multiple titles!! Let the rookie have it, it'll be good for ratings

With the pace im showing I doubt Ill be up near the front, I think XPR will have a good race after the pace Cain had last season.

No way am I just going to lay down when the championship is on the line.

I do believe I just have to finish at the most 9 places behind you at the finish to stand on that top step. But I'm in it to win it on Saturday

It is stated in the OP, all, But Just as a reminder. With the Time Change that took place last sunday for the guys in europe, the time difference this week is only 4hrs behind rather than the 5hrs behind the US normally is. Meaning, that Tomorrow's race starts at 5:30pm Eastern Time instead of 4:30pm, but at the normal 9:30pm 'GMT' start time.

Buzzing for this cana wait!

Good start time, gives me enough time to get across the city from work  

Must say, I'm quite looking forward to this, and the hour later start means I can actually practice versus rolling in the door and flicking the xbox on 5 minutes late for qually. Excellent track for stock cars.

Seems a lot of us are itching to get underway! I'm really looking forward to this!

Championships mostly sealed, so I'm gonna let it all hang out, go for gold, WATCH OUT!

My prediction for Tonight, with so many going for the title, it's gonna be tough for anyone to hold back.

hmm.... i don't see the #6, #10 or #4 in there anywhere....

^^^^^ the 10 car is dead center lol

...so it is. but you cannot blame Jordan for being in this picture. Danica is driving the #10 car there.

... This isn't a good omen

ah kak! 17 people including the TV camera

Well thats awkward!

Is it mad that I'm considering looking for another job so I can participate in this again?

Let me know how many turn up for Qualifying Simon/Mark, if we are at 16 drivers, i'll drop out so you can get the TV crew in.

I am not in the championship, just for the fun and to help Mark have a friend to represent with, plus I am a little drunk as it is lol.

Mainly its because after watching last weeks race, I think the finale to one of the most exciting and understated series get's the media attention it deserves.

Of course not!  

I don't mind not racing. Brothers got the telly anyway...

There was so much lag I did not want to wreck anyone's race. Sorry for all the trouble trying to get me in. I think things would go smooth with me out of the race. One question did I hit anyone. I think Wilson was close.
