TORA TASCAR Season 9 - Round 1 Driver's Briefing

Welcome to the first round of the 9th season of the TORA TASCAR Cup! The first round this season should be no surprise to anyone.  Since its introduction to the Forza franchise, Daytona has become the usual opening for TASCAR.  We are making things very different this year by using the Daytona Sports Car Circuit as a ROVAL.  As many people are aware we attempted and failed to produce a good draft tune for Daytona.  Rather the struggle on through another race of broken draft, I decided through much deliberation and poking by staff to change the track.  The things we have been hearing about FM8 are very encouraging so do not expect this change to last.

Sign-In - As we currently have almost 60 drivers signed up for this series, we will be requiring people to sign-in before each race.  Drivers can go to TASCAR ROUND 1 page on TORA's ORM to sign in.  You will only receive invites to qualify/race if you sign in.  You have until an hour before the race to sign in.    

Qualifying - Qualifying for TASCAR will be a timed session lasting 10 minutes.  One 10 minutes has expired, racers will finish the lap that they are currently on before stopping on the back straight. If a driver does not complete a clean lap, their fastest dirty lap time will be recorded and they will be placed lower than the slowest clean lap time. Remember that drivers should be/appear online 15 minutes prior to qualifying start, and should keep in-party chat to a minimal. Please check the Lobby Settings thread for which overrides are and aren't allowed.
 
Race - This race will consist of 43 laps, plus the warm up lap. Drivers are expected to be familiar with the rules and regulations come race time. Please check the Lobby Settings thread for which overrides are and aren't allowed.
 
Pit Stops - There is 1 mandatory pit stop during the race.

Starting Procedure - The race will start with a typical 80 mph 2x2 Rolling Start towards the end of the warm-up lap. Remember that each row of 2 cars are not to accelerate to race pace until THEY pass the Start/Finish line.
