Rules

Two races, 30 minutes each. Rolling start, unless it isn't.

Bind a button to turn your headlights on/off. If you don't have your headlights on if the race goes to night, you will get disqualified. If you have a potato computer, go to your player.JSON file located in USERDATA\player\ and change the line Max Headlights= to 3.

Don't drive like an idiot, and pay attention to the flags.

Don't flip Marko Tulska. Unless it's Flip Marko Tulska Day or if flipping him would be really funny.

Restart Procedure

Race will be restarted if needed.

Car Choice

No limits. Pick whatever car you want and feel free to change cars every round.

Track Limits

Feel free to run wide on corner entry/exit, just expect to be called a pussy and insulted in public especially if you wreck someone because of it.

Skins Guideline (INCLUDING HOW TO SUBMIT A SKIN)

Follow ONLY PART 1 of this guide. If you're simply too stupid to figure out how to do anything involving the MAS2.exe, just send me your .dds files in a .zip, along with what car you're using, to the email below and I will handle it and be angry at you.

IF YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH TO WORK WITH THE MAS2.EXE, SET YOUR Category= LINE TO Category="OVGT3"

To download the skin pack, either download it when joining the server or from the link on the Google doc. If you download it from the doc, put it in your Packages folder. When you go to join the server, the game will automagically install the .rfcmp.

Send skins to ovgskins@cock.li

Submission deadline is 24h before the race.

How to get your skin in game, and skinning with the new material system.

Number Plate Template

Extra Stuff

- Presence on Mumble is not mandatory, but encouraged. Especially if you want to hear dumb chatter and the occasional funny rage, or if your game shits the bed it's much easier to get help with it quickly that way.

- While the series is open for anyone to join, please practice until you feel comfortable around the track before joining the race.

- These cars use varying amounts of ABS and TCS in real life. Do not be ashamed to activate them if you are struggling. Optimal TCS is 1 or 0 though.

- If you are experiencing low fps and your game seems to be in slow motion, try reading this.

Shift Points

Don't trust the lights in the car. The models were made by Indians being paid less than minimum wage.

Use this hud (place in Installed\HUD). Change to the HUD in single player in the options menu. Shift when the HUD rev lights turn blue.

HOW MUCH FUEL DO I NEED?

1800(which is 30 minutes in seconds)/leader's fastest lap in seconds=amount of laps for race.

Look at your HUD and at the bottom right it shows you your fuel left and how much you use per lap. Multiply that by the amount of laps for the race.

ex. On a track that takes the leader 1:30 to get around: 1800/90=20 20*3.10L per lap=62L needed for the race. Don't trust the in game fuel calculator in the setup menu.

Wat Car Iz Gud?

This BoP kinda really sucks ass. If you don't really have any idea what you're doing, especially in the setup menu, use the Aston Martin Vantage or Callaway Corvette. They're easy to drive and also the fastest. The BMW M6 is also a very good car, but not as easy. Make sure to use Soft tires and set the tire pressure to the lowest.

Some setups have been posted in the Setups cell on the Google doc. It's updated whenever so if you're looking for one check there.

How do I Change My Name?
