Reminder - Tuesday (12/3/19) - Season 31 - Week 1

Lobby opens for practice at 6:00pm Central
Racing starts at 7:00pm (Central US).

New - Delayed Starts: Drivers load into the race and remain stationary. All drivers must remain stationary for the first 10 seconds. The pole qualifier is then given a 10 second window in which they can start the race , motion from the pole car is the green flag. (Start window is race timer second 10 to second 20) This will eliminate black screen load in issues, allow drivers to start in the gear of their choice, and allow VirtualAutosports to see the start of the race. Giving the pole car the advantage of starting the race “randomly” should help space the field out some for turn one.

New - FRR: All races will be run with FRR turned on. The sole purpose of this is to eliminate the excessive tire walls around the tracks. All FRR time penalties will be ignored. You can turn off personal FRR penalty warnings in the HUD options if you don’t want to be distracted by the warnings.
