Season 14: The Tifosi Have Spoken!

If you have been following the other threads you will know we are kicking this season off on Monday night. The Raceonoz servers are up for practice and teams have been sorted. This season will run as per last season in most respects, but we will be going back to running multiple compounds seeing as we have an F1 car to play with.

I have round 1 sorted, but more details will follow. Seasoned racers will know the drill, but for those new to our fine forum, please read the Code of Conduct and Racers Guide, both good reads and worth a second look if it's been a while.

The plan will be to have the rooms open from 8.30pm AEDST and to start qualifying at 9pm. There will be 10-15 minutes of qualifying depending on the length of the track, and then into the race, usually around 45 minutes. We will be running 1 room again this season so tracks are again being considered that can cater for 30 drivers. Thanks to the guru that is MartRolzy and his mastery of the servers, there will be enough slots and rooms available for practice during the week. There will still be an individual and team championship as per previous seasons.

More info to come.

Compulsory pit stops for normal and enduro rounds only.

Extra pit boxes may be needed, find them HERE.

Points & Ballast
The points system will be managed by our masters of charts, and will be posted within the ladder section at the top of the website, and updated weekly. The points will be distributed as per position table included with championship ladder.

Spoiler: Points System Details

This season will also see us using a bonus point system with Fastest Lap (FL) and Most Consistent (MC) for each room gaining an extra point. ie Win+MC+FL=Win +2 points for the round. MC will be as per simresults, with highest gross MC across both sprint races used for determining overall MC.

There is a provision for a drop round this season. Every driver will have their worst performance dropped from their overall championship total. In the case that the first round of the season is DNS and likely the drop, then any ballast earned in round 2 by finishing in the top 5 will be multiplied by 1.5 (same as having two of that position in a row).

The sprint round this season will see a full qual and practise session for the first race, and a 10min qual only for race 2. The points will be distributed to each driver for both races to come up with placings for the entire round. REVERSE GRID RACE 2 - HALF POINTS! Where 2 drivers finish on the same points, the driver who finishes in a higher place over the 2 races will be given the higher placing. Where this is the same, the driver with the fastest lap over the 2 races will finish in the higher position for the round. FL and MC bonus points will be given to the driver(s) with the best result over the 2 races.

Success Ballast System is not in effect this season.

@KoAStR will fix it, he's my hero!!

Just confirming no ballast again this season?

Hello all, in case you haven't used ptracker/stracker combo before I encourage you to check it out...
ptracker is the in-game app and stracker is the server backend (http://rooz.simracer.me:50041/lapstat)
you can find your name and then click on it to get getail info of theoretical best as well as compare track speeds with the fastest person on the track...
if u have ptracker u can share setups easily within the game to all, only ROOZ or even ur team mates...

Yeah happy to go without.

Massive thanks Shaun.
