Welcome to the FVWEC!
This thread is currently Under Construction, but expect things to be popping up soon…
Overview
The FVWEC will host a variety of different length races through out its season, ranging from 1H to 2.4H to replicate endurance racing, but in a shorter format.
There is the usual host of classes; GT, P1 and P2. With certain P1 or P2 class cars, you will be allowed to specify the car as having a different engine to the one in game, I.e. for P1 the Aston Martin/Lola. These cars will have a (**) double asterisk next to them.
I plan on having multiple lobbies set up, with different hosts, so if you cannot join one, there will be more for you to try and join.
Rules, Lobby Settings, Qualifying and Start Procedure
The lobbies will be set to Simulation Damage, Contact On. During qualifying, the lobbies will be set to cosmetic damage and ghosts.
There will be no deliberate damaging of cars, or ganging up on one driver. Doing so will get you kicked from the series after the event.
Qualifying will be a 10 minute session, execpt for Le Mans (15 mins) and Nurburgring (20 mins).
After Qualifying the lobby settings will be set with the correct grid ordering (lobby points), and classes (if not already done)
To make seeing what class cars are coming behind you, there will be teams in the lobbies. If you are driving a GT Class Car: Red Team , P2 Class: Blue Team and P1 Class: Green Team.
The lobby will have buckets set up for the handicaps. These will be : UNHANDICAPPED (all cars without a handycap), Aston DBR9 (for the 20% power and 5% front and rear grip handicap on the Aston Martin DBR9) , 15percent Power (For the cars with the 15% power handicap) and 20percent Power (For the cars with a 20% power handicap)
There will be a warmup lap on every race so that the drivers can get their tires warmed up and also figure out a starting strategy. 5-9 minutes will be added to each race and each class will start their warm up lap with 30 seconds in between each class with everyone going single file at a maximum of 60kmh and the polesitter of each class will be the pace keeper for their class. On the last two turns of the lap each class will go into a two wide formation and the Pace Keeper will call the green once the clock has ticked over to the start of the race.
Safety Car
There will be a safety car in use for the all rounds. There will be parade lap for the warm up in each race in which the saftey car will lead the LMP1 field for the most of the lap and before the last two turns, the safety car will pull off.
The safety car will come out at any incident, and will do a speed of 80kmh and will stay out untill the incident is cleared.
All the hosts will declare that safety car is called if an accident occurs.
Scoring
Drivers Points
Each class will be scored accordingly:
1st: 40 , 2nd: 35 , 3rd: 28, 4th: 21, 5th: 18, 6th: 15, 7th: 12, 8th: 9, 9th: 8, 10th: 7, 11th: 6, 12th : 5, 13th: 4 , 14th: 3 , 15th: 2, 16th: 1
