QUALIFYING
Qualifying starts 30mins prior to the Race being started (check the calendar for dates and race start times)
Starting positions for the race are determined by order of fastest CLEAN laps recorded during the qualifying period, with the fastest lap earning the pole position.
Collision mode will be set to ALWAYS OFF
You can pit as many times as you wish during qualifying
You can do as many laps as you wish in the 20min qualifying period
You may use TCS on/off - STM on/off - ABS on/off - Manual or Manual w/clutch - Sim Steering/normal steering… its up to you!
If you miss qualifying or you gain a disqualified time you will start at the back of the grid or will not be permitted to race.
Anyone unable to attend qualifying or the race MUST let BTR Snakie know prior to the event start or your place in the competition could be forfeited.
RACE DAY
Starting grid positions will be arranged during a 1 lap parade of the track prior to the official start.
A 50 lap race will have a lobby set at 51 laps, with the 1st lap as a warm up.
At the start of the parade lap, drivers will hold their random position on the grid, BTR Snakie or Race Host will call each driver by name in order of qualifying results to leave their starting position and begin their warm-up lap. Upon crossing the start/finish line which begins their warm-up lap.
During the parade lap, drivers are expected to keep plenty of distance and run at a fair pace thus not to cause damages to other racers braking late losing control on cold tyres etc…
Drivers are not to pass during the parade lap!
At the end of the parade lap, drivers will stop onto their grid boxes and come to a stop.
Pole position is always on the outside (driving line) going into the first turn.
In the case of 20% damage or more before the start of the 2nd lap the event can be restarted.
The race will not be restarted more than twice for anyone.
Any driver that is the cause of a race restart will be placed at the back of the grid, or in serious matters sometimes be DSQ upon the restart.
There will be x2 permitted pit stops during the race these cannot be done on the 1st or final laps. failure to complete these will cause a DNF to your race result, and will be checked via the Replay at the End of the Race.
There is a 10 minute end of race timer on the event. If you do not finish the race event within this time you will get positioned compared to others still racing and at what point of the track they are.
Quitting or disconnecting during the race will gain you an automatic DNF with no points scored for that race.
EXTRA NOTES TO BE AWARE OF:
Drivers MUST verbally call out their entry and exit from pit lane. Failure will result in race position deduction of x2 positions.
Overtakes MUST be called out, whenever possible. Communication is key during the race to prevent crashes… Please use it!
At the end of the race please pass the finish line the game will take control of your car as it reaches the first corner press the middle button on your controller THE BIG XBOX LOGO once, then as you get to the main screen press A, this parks your car into the wall and ghosts it, enabling other drivers to finish the race without you causing them obstruction.

Two questions. First do you have two spots open because if I join im bringing a buddy. And two are the time slots set in stone? Because I can run all these race but the 5th and 19th will be hard for me because I cant start the race but I will be cutting it to close to make it work. But if these days got pushed back an hour im pretty sure I can finish
