Wow,I can't believe the number of drivers entering this series. 39 drivers so far,with still 3 spots remaining! However,this also leads to a problem. As the first race of the season is scheduled to be held at the Spa SuperPrix,there's going to be a long gap inbetween signups and races. So,to combat the wait,I might hold a "test day" where drivers and teams arrive at a race track with the cars to get used to the track and such.

Second, I still need some track submissions. Thanks to the ones who have submitted so far,as there are some great(and not-so great) tracks submitted,but for those who haven't submitted a track yet,you can still submit them in. I would prefer them to be primarily in Europe,as there are not enough tracks there to fill in the calendar,but you can still submit tracks in Asia or Oceania if you think they are better than the tracks submitted for those regions so far. Read the opening post for the Track Submission Template and rules on track submission

Also,GREGG RACING,your ratings are STILL INCORRECT. Also,your delay in changing the ratings means that the Rover SD1 3500 Vitesse you submitted is fully taken. Read the opening post on how to submit ratings and car availability.

Rob Lomas Racing would like to have him in our second car if that is ok with you?

:EDIT:
The second car would be a Toyota Supra if the original poster is cool with that

Teams & Drivers
And,just like last season,only one model of car is allowed per team.

only one model of car is allowed per team

....next time, roblomas52, READ THE RULES AND GET THEM RIGHT. I can understand if you miss out the rules once,and maybe a reminder is needed,but to do it again is....I have no words. I don't mean to hurt you or insult you,but I just cannot fathom how simple rules cannot be followed despite several reminders.

Also,Rasmus,Waltari can be entered,as long as roblomas gets your entry right.

Wizzie,your entry is fine,except for one problem.

For Pierre Depault,he can actually have a maximum of +2 reliability points,as stated in the rules. However,the Supra's stats are such that he will exceed the maximum reliability,hence he can only have +1 reliability. Is that okay with you?

Aww, but I liked the idea of Pierre finishing every race for the next twenty years but an average of five laps down.

But if that's how it has to work, so be it.

Hello.

Two announcements:

1. Once again,this a request to send in racetracks for those that have not already done so. This series involves racing on tracks that you submit.It can be a street circuit or a road course,though road courses are preferred. Also,you can resubmit tracks that the F1RSTC visited last season if you're lazy,but that will count as your only submitted track. Look at the opening post for details and the template.

2.There are still incorrect submissions. ryangregg,your submission is clearly wrong. Your drivers should have 13 ratings points among them,not 15. Also,roblomas52, you can only use one model of car per team.Thus,Waltari will not get a drive unless you correct that mistake.

*Calendar subject to change
-------------------------------------------------

Yep,the provisional calendar has been released. However,the key word in all of that is the word "provisional". You can still submit tracks, and if I deem them worthy to be on the calendar,expect to see some changes in the final calendar that will be released before the Pre-Season test,a test jammed in between a cluster of events at Circuit Park Zandvoort that should be easily accessible to drivers competing in other leagues.

Also,a note on the races. The Spa SuperPrix is a 200 km long race,rounded up to the nearest lap. The Christmas Special is also a 200 km long event,that hosts a race on Christmas Eve,and plans are already underway to ship Christmas Decorations to Glasgow for the festivities. The season finale at Bathurst will be 250 km long,so get ready for an endurance race,and finally the Touring Masters at Gronigen is 175 km long. All the other events are 150 km in distance.

Also,with the recent expansion of Rob Lomas Racing to two cars,this time correctly, we have a staggering 42 cars on the entry list. This poses a problem. Some places,like Clyde River,Bathurst and Spa (just about) have large enough pit facilities to host this amount of cars. But on street circuits like Luxembourg and Athens,being able to squeeze 42 cars in a pitlane will be trying to squeeze 42 people in a Mini. Hence, there will have to be some...DNQs here and there. I will determine by using the size of the pit straight.

That's all for now.Let me know if you have any doubts or issues or whatevernots.

V8fan12, #3 is already taken by Jan van de Maeyede for Plus One,so you'll have to find another number. Check the entry list.

Speaking of which,that is the final entry for this series! With a massive 45 drivers (46 if you count Plus One's "TBA),there will have to be DNQs for several races this year,potentially all the street circuits and the more cramped road courses. I will determine the size of the field for each race.

As I don't see Veli Waltari on the entry list on the Wiki, I just want to make sure, that he is approved to compete in the championship?

As I don't see Veli Waltari on the entry list on the Wiki, I just want to make sure, that he is approved to compete in the championship?

Yes,he is approved. All drivers appearing in the entry list on the third post of page 1 are approved to compete in at least race 1.If your driver or signup is missing let me know right now.

Also,with the formation of the PRC,be careful if you're entering F1RSTC drivers in there,as races 5 and 6 of the PRC clash with rounds 3 and 4 of the F1RSTC respectively. If you plan to enter a driver into both series,nominate a replacement for those two races in either the PRC or the F1RSTC,depending on which series you are focusing on.

The pre-season test will occur December 27th,and hopefully get the first race done early Jan.

Under normal circumstances, no, but if you have drivers with conflicting schedules, then it's more than likely okay if that's the case. Although I will admit I'm not the one who knows or has memorized any rules, so WaffleCat will have to have the final verdict.

Well,there's no such rule around in any series I believe- hell, the Mad Uncle has a different driver for every race in the IFRC- so there's no reason to ban such things. I'll let it pass.

F1RWRS has a four-driver rule, and breaching that results in a hefty financial penalty. And thanks to Wizzie's exploits IFRC will have some limitations next year as well.

Ok thanks. However, I have now cut it down to 3 drivers sharing the car (see my previous post above) in order to not get too confusing.

You're making more changes to your lineup than there are times Melrose returns to F1RWRS. No, but seriously. If all these changes are due to driver clashes with other series, here's a tip. Go to the original post. Look at the calendar. There, you'll find what series clashes with what rounds. Make necessary changes without too much of a driver merry-go-round.

So,the next change you make will be your FINAL, CONFIRMED LINEUP for the entire season.Please take note.

Also,I'm pretty much set for the pre-season test at Zandvoort,which will be run on the 29th. ALL DRIVERS entering Round 1 are supposed to take part in this session. If you want to let any other driver take someone's place in the test, let me know by then. The test session is run as such:

Day 1:
MORNING--First 14 teams on entry list (up to Onyx).
AFTERNOON--Last 14 teams on entry list (Zimsport down).

Day 2:
MORNING--Driver 1
AFTERNOON--Driver 2 (if eligible)

This will let everyone have a shot on both days, and will also free up space in the pitlane. This method will also be similar to how qualifying is run on tracks without sufficent space to fit all 46 drivers. More on qualifying and race format after all the tests.

25 Veli Waltari (Rob Lomas-Supra)                     1:40.840

The morning session saw the first 14 teams on the entry list take to the track, and already Jose Pablo Mazzacane is making his presence felt. Having let the title slip away last season, he instantly got in the car and set a blitzing lap time, indicating he needed no time at all to get used to his new Mercedes. His overall testing pace was incredible, and his fastest lap was three tenths quicker than Domenico Nicchi in his Volvo, though that time was more of a lucky lap than any sign of consistent pace. Mazzacane's teammate Jasper Lerby set the fourth fastest time,and the IBR boys set times quick enough to be seventh and eighth, though with third and fourth fastest average lap times and being their first time in the Skyline,they seem to be set for another title challenge this season. The only real trends on the twisty but fast Zandvoort track show that the Supras are horrific, the M3 E30 is the car to have here and the Jaguars are unreliable,as Sope Stever suffered a problem early on that would sideline him until tommorrow.

The man with the long name tops the timesheets in the second test session,but his time would have only placed him seventh in the morning session, which may indicate the large performance gap between the two groups. Nevertheless, we still had a few interesting results, as Juan Jose Rendon mumbled his way through the field and Hilton Blain performed exceptionally well. And Depault set the slowest time.

Today is a more clear indication of the field,and there are some surprises to be seen. Of course,Mazzacane at the top is no surprise,but what's surprising is that he set the exact same lap time as day 1. Incredible. Hilton Blain also shows off that he has more skill than he looks,and the Mercedes are amazing on Zandvoort,and seem to be the car to beat. That is if the Holdens don't maul them down the straights,as Dean Melville had the fastest speed in the trap at the end of the front straight despite his poor time.

20 Pierre Depault (Douglas-Cliff-Supra)               1:43.430

Just to ram the point home about the Mercedes pace,Asmir Landovic sets the quickest overall time in the Aftrenoon session. However,again for some wierd reason, no one seems to be able to catch Mazzacane's times. Heck, no one got within the 1:38's except for Mazzacane. Sope Stewer manages to rectify his previous day's horrors with a decent showing,while some drivers continue their form from the first day, like Clement Grandmaison. And Depault set the slowest time.

The final results of the test show us one thing: Mazzacane is the man to beat. Admittedly, that's coming from a pre-season test where everyone is attempting to get used to their cars,but to set a time one and a half tenths quicker than the next guy,who was woefully inconsistent on both days,now that is amazing. Other drivers however, like Tommy Morton and Martin McGovern, seem mired in the midfield. And Depaul set the slowest time.

[go_Rubens]

Well, my drivers were decent. But as I learned in RTSS, nothing should be taken of preseason testing

[Hermann95]

All in all we where faster than the Plus-One Jaguar's, so that's a first positive sign from our drivers.

[simonracer]

I'm definetely happy with Hilton's result.

[Onxy Wrecked]

Mustangs and Supras are horrific at this track, but one is slow and reliable while the other is fragile, fast, but unstable in corners. Bergenheim led the Mustangs with a 32nd with the other two not far behind in 39th and 41st not more than a tenth and change behind. Some races might not see a single Supra or Ford Mustang around.

[HawkAussie]

Fair enough for the results there

Could someone help please to add GenTenp Racing to the wiki :S I don't understand the wiki codes. Thanks

(Warning,long post about the rules. Some are trivial,some are for fun and some are very important. Enjoy!)

F1RSTC 2016-17 Official Rulebook: Section C--Event Procedure

Section C-1:Practice

C-1.1:There will be two practice sessions at the track - one morning and one afternoon - on the Friday before the race with two exceptions: The Round of Spa,with it's practice sessions on the Wednesday so as to prevent schedule clashes, and the Christmas Special,which will occur on Thursday to prevent running the race on Christmas Day.

C-1.2:All cars must take part in both practice sessions unless a logical reason is provided (i.e. failure of components in the car, injured driver etc. Excuses such as taking a tea break is not a valid reason and will be penalized)

C-1.2.1:In tracks with crowded pit lanes (see below, section C-4.1), certain teams may have to share garages. Should there be a lack of room in the garages, a team may opt out of one practice session as long as they are sharing a garage.

Section C-2: Qualifying

C-2.1:There are to be two to three qualifying sessions that are held the day before the race begins (Thursday at Spa,Friday at Glasgow,Saturday at every other race).DNQs will be enforced for most races (see below, section C-4.1)

C-2.1.1:For the first four rounds of the championship (up until Keimola),there will be a two qualifying session format. All 48 drivers take to the track at the first session. The top 24 progress to the next session,while the bottom 24 will have their grid order decided by this session, with DNQs being applied according to the maximum grid size of each track allowed by the F1RSTC Committee (refer to Section C-4.1). The second session will be a 3 lap superpole qualifying format,in which the top 24 drivers participate to determine their grid position for the race.

C-2.1.2:After round 4,the three qualifying session rule will take into effect. The top 16 in the championship after round 4 will not compete in the first qualifying session that is held in the morning. In this session,the remaining 32 cars take to the track.The top 20 progress to the next session, while everyone below will have their qualifying position determined on their finishing order,with DNQs appyling on tracks with a maximum grid size. The second session introduces the top 16 in the championship and are to set a time with the remaining twenty in this session. The top 20 progress to the next session,with an exception in Luxembourg, with the bottom sixteen positions having their grid position determined by their time in Session 2. Session 3 is a 3 lap superpole qualifying format,in which the top 20 drivers participate to determine their grid position for the race.

C-2.1.2.1:After each race, the drivers with the top 4 fastest times in Session 1 will replace the bottom 4 in Session 2 that did not participate in Session 1.

C-2.1.2.1.1: In the case of a driver swap between races for a driver being "promoted" or "relegated", the replacement driver will not be "relegated" or "promoted", and the next fastest or slowest driver will take over their spot.

C-2.1.2.2: At round 9, all "promotions" and "relegations" from the previous race are declared null and void, and the top 16 championship at that point will skip Session 1 regardless of their status in qualifying prior to the race.

C-2.2:Any driver found impeding or blocking a driver on their hot lap, accidental or not, will be penalized.

C-2.3:All drivers that participated in qualifying must take part in the race, with the exception that drivers that fail to qualify are forbidden from taking part in the race,or a valid reason is given. (i.e. injury)

Section C-3: Race

C-3.1: All drivers taking part in a race must follow by standard racing rules,like lapped drivers letting leaders pass,no intentional ramming and so on.

C-3.2: Each race is 150 km long with some exceptions (see Section C-3.2.1). Pitstops are not compulsory for these races,as drivers can elect whether to last the distance on heavy fuel and worn out tyres at the end,or to have two short stints with a pitstop inbetween that will take up time.

C-3.2.1:The following exceptions are: Touring Masters at Gronigen (175 km), the Round of Spa and the Christmas Special at Glasgow (200 km) and the finale,the Round of Bathurst (250 km). Pitstops are mandatory in all the following races except the Touring Masters at Gronigen.

C-3.3:In the case of a DNF occuring in the final laps and in the occasion of lapped cars,the lapped cars, no matter how many laps behind,will still be classified ahead of the DNFs unless the lapped cars have retired before then. (OOC: xkoranate bug that would take a bloody long time to edit manually)

C-3.4:In the event of drivers with the same finishing time on the scoresheets, a photo-finish system will be utilised to determine positions,and may override actual timing decisions in the case of a timing malfunction.

Section C-4: Other Rules and Regulations

C-4.1: Each race will have a maximum grid size depending on their pitlane length. These are the following grid sizes

Round 1-SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS CIRCUIT--42 starters/6 DNQs
Round 2-AUTODROMO JUAN y OSCAR GALVEZ--42 starters/6 DNQs
