You can download the game at the wiki page or on the /ovgt3/ Season 1 Anniversary Edition Google Doc.

How Do I Connect to the Server?

The GOTY patch comes with a batch file you can double click to connect to the server. You can also just launch the game, navigate to multiplayer, press the + button and type the IP:port from the Google Doc.

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.

Rules

Two races, 35 minutes each. Random time of day with time scaled 1x.

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 [username].PLR file located in USERDATA\[yourname]\ 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.

If you drive the Porsche you're a bitch nigga.

Balance of Performance

The cars will get a type success ballast™ (patent pending) that will be updated with the skinpack for every round.

Each car will get 5kg per driver using it, for the first round the ballast values will be set from the entry list/skin submissions then it will be updated each round with the car counts of the previous round. So if 15 people pick a Porsche in round 1, it will get an extra 75 kg for round 2. The per driver penalty is subject to change should half an SJ not be enough to balance cars.

Track Limits

Feel free to run wide on corner entry/exit up to 20 times (past 20 off tracks warnings from the game, you will receive a drive-through penalty), just expect to be called a faggot and insulted in public especially if you wreck someone because of it.

Skins Guideline

As usual, you can make your own livery if you like. Skin Templates, a preferred numberplate template and the email to which you send it to are in a link on the Google Document.

Recommended values are <number>_<driver><car> for <team> and <team> for <whatever> but you're free to do whatever just remember you cannot have two veh files named the same or one won't show up in game.

Please put the veh file in GameData\Vehicles\Blancpain_Series_2012\Blancpain_Series\Teams\<car>\<team>.veh and the DDS files in GameData\Vehicles\Blancpain_Series_2012\Blancpain_Series\Teams\<car>\<team>\<whatever>.dds

In your .veh file: ("QUOTATION" MARKS ARE NEEDED FOR ANY LINE YOU ENTER)

Set your Default Livery= line to <team>\<whatever>.dds

Set your Classes= line to Classes="OVGT3S1-OVG-10"

Set your Team= line to Team="[yourname or yourteamname reccomended for neater sorting]"

Set your Driver1= line to Driver1="[your name is reccomended for neater sorting]"

Set your FullTeamName= line to FullTeamName="[whatever you put in the Team= line]"

Set your Category= line to Category="OVGT3"

Do not write anything in the lines from TeamFounded to TeamWorldChampionships, your game will(might?) crash.

Please .zip your files before emailing them.

Skin submission deadline is 24 hours before the start of the race.

If you need help, please refer to the RFactor Skinning guide or ask for help on the thread or Mattermost.

FAQ

- Presence on Mumble is not mandatory, but highly encouraged.

- 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.
