Ruleset
- No two cars of the same type will be allowed to enter. First come first serve! Definition of type: Same body shape, ie. a BMW 320i and a BMW 328i will not be allowed. RBDK will mark your entry as ACCEPTED on the doc and you will be the one with that particular car.
- Maximum power 200 bhp at the flywheel.
- Power rating MUST be identical to manufacturer spec sheet for the car. No "tuning" of the car will be permitted and I will test each and every entrant. A "used car" factor allows for choosing a car that had up to 220 bhp, but picking one will deduct 10% of horsepower from your submission. Eg. 220 bhp->200bhp or 205 bhp->184.5 bhp.
- Modification of suspension allowed
- Modification of gearbox allowed
- Max C_Lift and C_Drag must be realistic. Entrant is supplying wind tunnel, CFD or other data if I deem your values to be retarded. Look here for a general idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_drag_coefficient
- No weight reduction allowed
- Center of gravity will be checked and must be a reasonable location for the car. No go-kart SUVs or physics breaking funny business here.
- Driven wheels must match the car picked
- Steered wheels must match the car picked
- Hybrid must match the car picked
- No powertrains outside of the one in the actual car can be allowed. No rocket boosts. No phantom force utilization.
- Any clear exploit of the Assetto Corsa physics model that gives a supreme advantage to the user will be banned
- Maximum cost of car 2000 euro.
- Entrant MUST supply a link to a listing of the car IRL of a running, driveable example for the price above (or equivalent value) from a country in EUROPE (ie. not Russia or Turkey), CANADA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA or the UNITED STATES.
- The car must be visible on photos in the listing so a reasonable estimate on condition can be made. Only photos and video are accepted.
- In case of auctions, a buy it now price must be available and the vehicle must be available to purchase at a fixed price within the budget. Finished auctions are rejected automatically.
- The car must be with plates and any import duties paid for the country it is listed in, but additional road tax and insurance and MOT doesn't matter.
- If the car looks too dodgy to be deemed running, TWO such listings must be supplied
- Car MUST be running on the spec tire compound (not released yet). No other compounds are accepted. If you wish to test cars before the release of the spec compound, Kunos Street 90s tires will be used as the base so you can try with those.
- Car mod for AC may be edited to match the real life car desired. For example, if you can only find a Peugeot 206 GTi mod but want to run a Peugeot 206 RC you can edit the car power values to match. You just need to enter it as the car you actually plan on entering it as so I know what values to look for.
- Your submitted car's folder name MUST be in all lower case letters so it works correctly online.
- Any tuning and editing of the car will be disallowed after you submit the car. Test it properly before submitting.
As the rules above will not lead to a balanced field no matter what I put of gimmicks, a SUCCESS BALLAST system will be implemented according to Super GT rules. This means a new car pack every week with updated values - that's how it goes. Server WILL boot you if you do not update your cars.
| Position | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 20 |
| 2nd | 15 |
| 3rd | 11 |
| 4th | 8 |
| 5th | 6 |
| 6th | 5 |
| 7th | 4 |
| 8th | 3 |
| 9th | 2 |
| 10th | 1 |
The formula for succes ballast is simple, 3*Your Points=weight ballast in kg. No ballast will be applied between race 1 and 2 on any given event. This will be part of the weekly update pack.
| Round | Points Acheived | Total Points at Start of Round | Success Ballast for the round |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8 | 0 | 0 kg |
| 2 | 6 | 8 | 8*3=24 kg |
| 3 | 15 | 14 | 14*3=42kg |
| 4 | 2 | 29 | 29*3=87kg |
Car Setup
As you are supplying your own car, you are kind of on your own. But read the ruleset carefully. There's room for improving your car through modification although NOT of aero and engine values. Entrants will NOT be allowed to modify their own values after Round 1, so look carefully at the calendar and test gear ratios and suspension etc. so you know that your car is suitable. If you have no idea what you're doing and just want to enter, that is not a problem, but if you wanna tryhard you need to look at the above.
What if I don't know how to make these changes?
Ask on the Mattermost or on Mumble for help. There's a lot of guys willing to either teach you or just do it for you if you ask nicely. Alternatively the server will have a couple of Alfa Romeo MiTo and Fiat 500 that you can race, however you will not be able to take advantage of the rules and you will be woefully underpowered compared to the permitted engines.
How Do I Connect to the Server?
Open browser and connect to IP: 5.9.248.186:TBD
If you can't connect server is probably turned off. Practice in SP or ask some sysadmin in Mattermost to turn it on
Restart Procedure
Race will be restarted if needed. But probably not.
Rules
Two races, 15 minutes each +1 lap. First race is quali, second is full grid reverse.
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.
Track Limits
Feel free to run wide on corner exit, just expect to be called a faggot and insulted in public especially if you wreck someone because of it.
Skins Guideline
Your car will be yours and yours alone. Submit the skin you want with the car. There will be no skin packs between events, but you will also only have a single car on the server of the one you pick. That means the server will NOT require booking mode.
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.
