A few additional notes regarding the procedures for this series.
Race 1 will be run under 'standard' practice and qualifying rules and procedures.
For Race 2 we will reverse the starting grid based on the finishing positions in race 1. As this function does not currently exist as standard in GTR2, this will have to be a 'manual' process and this can only be achieved with the cooperation of all drivers present.
At the end of race 1, the server will automatically advance to 'Next Event' and will start in a race 2 'PRACTICE' session. The people present on the server at the end of race 1 will be loaded into this session in the same order they finished the race. It is very important therefore that nobody leaves the server at the end of race 1. (Ensure your setups have been saved before the next event advance
).
The race 2 'practice' session will state that it is a 30 Min's practice. Please ignore this as it is simply the default session when advancing from from the previous event. As soon as all drivers from race 1 are loaded, this session will be 'skipped' and advanced to race 2 Qually. Please DO NOT go out on track during this session.
The qualifying session for race 2 is where we will manually reverse the grid. This is stated as a '15 minute' session but will be cut short and advanced to Race 2 as soon as the reversal procedure is completed. Again it is important that nobody goes out on track during this session. Providing everybody has stayed connected from race 1, the reversal process should only take a couple of minutes and we will endeavour to get to the race in the shortest time possible.
Due to the nature of the procedures involved in reversing the grid in GTR2, anybody that leaves the server during or at the end of race 1(for any reason, including unfortunate disco's), or anybody that joins JUST for race 2 (pribeiro), will have to start the race at the back of the grid. PLEASE only join/rejoin when the lobby server says Qualifying 2. and please remember this will only be a short session so you will not have much time to join.
Hopefully, with everybody's cooperation everything will run smoothly and efficiently and create some very good close racing. Please enjoy it and any complaints should be directed to either Ginsters Sponsored or Sponsored by Ginsters.
