The second race of the Novices Trophy season takes us to France and the ancient city of Rouen. This track was not actually used in the 1967 season but was included in the original release as it was much more interesting than the real race location (Le Mans Bugatti). The track has some tricky bends with a mixture of very slow (Nouveau Monde hairpin) and high speed sweepers that makes nailing a setup tricky. Get close and you will have a chance.
The Novices will undertake 19 laps. For this race, there is no handicapping in line with the new handicap system.
Please check the Season 23 pages for
details regarding rules and the
Novices Trophy pages in particular.
Qualifying may start before 9pm, if so, Reserve drivers should leave the server when 35 minutes of qualifying remains and only rejoin when 30 minutes of qualifying is left. This is to ensure that Full Time drivers get priority in joining.Please restrict chat to pit messages if necessary, and this includes the end of the race, until all running drivers have completed the necessary laps.
The Novice Trophy races are run under Int Long rules and all incidents in the Lap 1 red zone will be moderated. Only reported incidents for the rest of the race will definitely be checked, however the moderators reserve the right to review any incident. Drivers are reminded that they must take a Stop'n'Go for every Shift-R. The Red Zone will extend to the Scierie corner which is the 90 degree right hander at the end of the long straight.
Please ensure you are aware of the new in-series penalties for this season. Details are
here. Drivers incurring a penalty will receive a PM informing them of this."
Please submit incident reports within a week after the race so that the moderators report may be out before the next race.
