TORA TCF TASCAR Season 7
Round 7 -  Brickyard 200

Welcome to round seven of TORA TCF TASCAR Season 7, the Brickyard 200 from Indianapolis Motor Speedway! Be aware that we are using the short pit entrance after turn 4 for this race, as opposed to the entrance on the back stretch. We shall still be using the extended pit exit which finishes after turn 2, as is required by the game. Due to the tyre walls on the turn 2 pit exit, we shall be rejoining the track between turns 1 and 2. When doing so, please call out to ensure cars on the track know you are rejoining, and exercise as much caution as possible.

Please note: for this race, ALL competitors MUST run the Stock tune provided on the JGROVES1996 sharefront. This is to prevent a game glitch. If you don't have the tune, you won't be permitted to race. Please see this topic for more info: http://forums.theonlineracingassociation.com/t18920-tascar-season-7-ovals-update

The race will take place on Saturday, May 12th at 9PM UK / 4PM Eastern. Qualifying will be a 10-minute session. Once the time expires, drivers will be able to complete their current lap before coming to a stop at turn one.

The race will comprise of 80 laps, plus an additional formation lap to get us set for the rolling start. Rolling start will still be row-by-row. If you see a jump starter, let us know and ideally record it.

Pace speed will be 60 mph. Cautions may be called due to incidents involving two or more cars. Please remember to lift and NOT brake when a caution comes out so that you don't get run over by the cars behind you. Remember, also, that the pits will be closed when a caution comes out and that there will be a designated lap under caution that drivers wishing to pit may do so, but only once the lobby host has declared the pits open.

A GWC will be used when there is a caution so late in the race that there aren't enough laps to conduct the restart. If the leader has started the last lap, there will be no more cautions and therefore no GWC.

In the event of a GWC being needed, his will mean that the drivers will finish the remaining laps in the race and then the host will set up a three lap lobby; one warm-up lap, two racing laps. If another caution comes out, repeat the process. There will only be three attempts at a GWC. If a caution comes out again on the third attempt, the race will end under caution.

UPDATE

Currently discussing what to do about the pit lane exit, as it turns out that the pit road to the inside of turn 2 has been blockaded by a tyre wall.

EDIT: We shall be be rejoining the track between turns 1 and 2. When doing so, please call out to ensure cars on the track know you are rejoining, and exercise as much caution as possible.

Apologizes for the disruption my crappy connection caused yesterday. My ISP is crap, but even so my bandwidth and ping were very bad all afternoon, worse than usual. Also I just realized there are some new xbox live ports that I didn't have open, which I do now. I was shooting for a podium, crappy Q and bad luck!
