TASCAR Community Choice Event (C.C.E.)
Saturday, June 21st 2014
9:30pm BST/4:30pm EDT



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 4 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!
- 4 second roll off delay per driver for 'Road Course' races
- Limited Damage, Collisions OFF.

RACE

Meeting 6 @ Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca will be 37 laps in length (lobby set to 38 for the Pace lap)
- Limited Damage, Collisions Default.

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

Bump Drafting
- Bump Drafting may only be allowed at the Sunset Oval rounds. Make sure the driver(s) you are in a group with know of your intentions to bump draft, be it the lead car or the 'pusher'. Also, "SLAM" Drafting will be deemed illegal and could be penalized. by Definition, SLAM Drafting is where the following car gets such a large run on the car ahead and gives a forceful push to the car ahead. With the Forza 4 physics, these types of hits will easily damage both drivers' vehicles, so it's in each drivers' best interest to know when and when not to draft one another.

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 should 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 Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is: 50 mph-----

....

***Sign-In Form will close one hour before Race Meeting start time for organization & preparations***

All participants:

I would like to enforce the Pit Exit rules we have used in the ISCC for Laguna Seca here in TASCAR to ensure Safe Pit Exit procedures.

Taken from the 2013 ISCC discussion thread about it:
Acceptable/normal racing surface:
MSA TORA TASCAR Season 4 - Round 6 - TASCAR Community Choice Event - June 21st 2014 Tollerable01

two wheels over first line (within TORA rules):
MSA TORA TASCAR Season 4 - Round 6 - TASCAR Community Choice Event - June 21st 2014 Tollerable02

Not acceptable, as all four wheels over 1st white line and thusly inside designated pit lane:
MSA TORA TASCAR Season 4 - Round 6 - TASCAR Community Choice Event - June 21st 2014 NotTollerated02

Pit Lane:
MSA TORA TASCAR Season 4 - Round 6 - TASCAR Community Choice Event - June 21st 2014 NotTollerated01

What's not shown is the fact i want all drivers to use the entirety of the pit exit lane, including exiting past the first double-apex corner.

Something to address: Isn't the pit exit in the Andretti Hairpin made of "slick concrete"? As in, hard to control the car through it if you aren't expecting it because the car acts as if it has ~30% grip?

it indeed does, but everyone will have to traverse through it, as is the case in past seasons of the ISCC at Laguna Seca.

Quite enjoyed the way the Community Choice Event turned out, regardless of my outcome! Smile depending on where TASCAR lands for Season 5, i may do another "CCE" race in the schedule.
