2016 TORA Indy 500 Rules and Regulations

This race will not be geo-blocked and will be wide open to wild card entrants.

Build rules-
All cars must have stock rims and builds, no exceptions!

Qualifying-
33 Spots are available to qualify for. Drivers will be given up to 3 attempts to qualify for the race. An attempt counts as taking the green flag after you're warm up laps.

Lobby's will have up to 3 drivers attempting at a time, collisions will be off and drivers will be spaced apart as to not interfere with on another. Drivers will have 2 warm up laps and 4 flying laps. Again at the start of your flying laps it will count as an attempt!

Should a driver set a time, still be in the field and wish to set another time, drivers must let organizers aware of intention to make another attempt on the forums in the qually thread. Their previous time is then officially withdrawn (meaning you are no longer qualified for the race) and attempts are not reset. You get 3 chances, period!

Qualifying results are your 4 flying laps accumulated time minus your warm up lap time. Times will be translated to average speed later in the week but lowest total time is the Pole Winner.

Field will be 33 drivers (2 lobbies, 1st of 17 and 2nd of 16 ) should 1 of the qualified drivers not make the event the driver who is 34th will be admitted into the field but at the tail end. If that driver cannot make the race then 35th will be admitted etc.

Race-
There will be 5, 40 lap segments for the night accumulating to 500 miles of racing.
Segment 1 will be set to 42 laps (first 2 count as warm up laps) and will race to the finish.
Segment 2-5 will be set to 40 laps with drivers racing right off the line. Winner is declared by lowest total time for all 5 segments

Lobbies will not be "Live Lobbies" meaning no reshuffle after each segment, this is to save time on the night. Lobby B will have 2.5 seconds added onto their first segment time only, this gives advantage to qualifying in a higher lobby. Results will be accumulative time for all 5 segments. B lobby you have 500 miles to make up the time you are behind, anything can happen!

Damage will be simulation so watch yourselves and others!

Louis I don't think i'll be able to make the qualifying tonight for the 500. Would I be able too start in last place of B lobby for the race if not all 33 spots are filled up?

When will we know the qualifying results?

Live timing was being updated last night after each run. I just have to convert the times to speed

Since we didn't have as many people as expected, what will be the race format in terms of lobbies?

Single lobby

so yet again i ask.. does this apply now since there is only one lobby

Its a 3 wide start correct? And its leaders chose when to go? Cautions, No cautions?

Seeing how it is one lobby and damagr is sim. Cautions may be implimented yes 3 wide and yes leader will set tone for when to go all will be revealed tomorrow in the race sign in thread

It's quite fascinating that I got deliberately ignored 3 times when asking a question. A simple "no you can't race since you didn't qualify" would've sufficed. What a joke

Sorry minardi i didnt see the 2nd time you asked until now and i thought i had responded to you on xbox live but clearly having looked at it now i didnt conpkete the message on there so that is my fault i do appologise

no hard feelings louis, just seemed like it was deliberate! good luck hope the race runs smoothly

Not deliberate at all just me not being observant enough. Again do appologise

I cant find the start time anywhere

I think it is usual starting time. I know that it is 1am GMT so I think it is 8pm EST (better double check with Louis)

Yes 8pm sorry guys left that out. So same start tine as usual

8pm est?

Yes sir!
