Race Rules

You Should Not:

1) Push or block others.

2) Engage in any form of cheating.

3) Cut or swerve in front of other drivers.

4) Message or talk during qualifying and racing (ensure your microphone is turned off).

5) Race with or unduly delay drivers who are lapping you. Also, please let obviously faster drivers unlap themselves.

6) Use the reset button to get back on track quickly.

PLEASE NOTE: The race group chat IS NOT the place to accuse or complain about race incidents. Please, DO NOT engage in blame and accusations in the chat. This is important to maintain the good community feeling that Gavra Racing has developed over a long time. The ONLY place a race issue can be solved is in the Discord channel ‘#incident claims’.

Claim

To make a claim:

• In any channel on the Gavra Racing Discord server, type the command ‘!claim’.
• You will be automatically given the role of ‘@Making A Claim’ and the ‘#incident-claims’ channel will become available to you.
• Please delay posting to the ‘#incident-claims’ channel to allow some time for careful thought and consideration regarding your claim. Prepare your claim, but please wait a few hours, think about and review your claim before posting to the ‘#incident-claims’ channel.
• Post your claim with a link to the video evidence from your replay and/or the video stream. Please note that video evidence is required; no video means no claim.
• Please make sure you provide the exact time of the incident in the video(s).
• Claims must be made within 48 hours of race finish.
• After your claim is posted, the ‘@Making A Claim’ role will be removed, and you will no longer have access to the ‘#incident-claims’ channel.

Drivers License Penalties

At the beginning of the season, drivers are usually at ‘0′ (zero) level on their drivers license. Drivers could have penalty levels added to their license as a result of protests or direct action from the Gavra Stewards team. The exact penalty for an incident depends upon the penalty level the driver is currently at. License points are removed if a driver runs a clean race with no serving penalty.

License Level Penalties (LLPS)

LLPs added are variable and applied at the discretion of the incident review panel depending on the severity of the incident. Typically +1 Level for a minor incident, and +2 Levels for a more serious incident. The LLP scale is listed below:

LLP0 – No Penalty
LLP1 – Practice Ban
LLP2 – Practice Ban and Limited Qualifying Duration (5 min.)
LLP3 – Practice Ban and Qualifying Ban
LLP4 – Practice and Qualifying Ban for two consecutive races (clean races will still lower your LLP as normal)
LLP5 – Race Suspension 
LLP6 – Championship Disqualification

Car Selection

Car selection is restricted. Each team must have a unique car in the championship. The cars are very well balanced, so if you don’t get your first choice car, it shouldn’t be much of an issue. Car selection will be finalised when the driving group is confirmed.

Fuel Balancing

There is an obvious fuel usage difference in GT3 cars. For the distance we are running this season, this means unbalanced fuel strategies. For example, the McLaren will be able to go full 175km distance on a full tank, while several other cars will have to refuel. To fix this problem, all cars can only have a MAXIMUM OF 50 LITRES FUEL ON THE STARTING GRID.

This needs to be checked, of course. We will check like this:

While on the starting grid before every race, immediately before the lights go out, drivers must take a screenshot showing their fuel level. This screenshot must be submitted to the group chat immediately after the race (within 10 minutes) so organisers and other drivers can verify your starting fuel level.

An additional check may be done by broadcasters on the starting grid.

Please see the attached example.

If you do not post this screenshot to the GT3 group chat, or you are found to have more than 50 litres of fuel on the grid, an instant RRP2 penalty will be applied.

Weather

Weather progression: x2
Weather slots: 3
Weather Slot Allocation: Two slots as per Gavra Racing standard weather system, plus one ‘random’ slot. The location of the random weather (in slot 1, 2 or 3) will not be known until entering the lobby on race day. This weather progression structure means that there should be approx 30 minutes per slot, but the exact time and length of slot transitions is unknown, and makes the relative duration of the weather slots quite variable within each race.
