First time racing with us?
Don't worry, sign up in the weekly race thread, and you'll get a message through Steam chat when the passworded server is up and the server password (30-20 minutes before qualifying start). It also includes solutions for not being able to connect. For the second and third heat the server will be restarted. I'll let you know when it's live. For heat 2 and 3, you have three minutes to connect. Don't forget to post your car choice in its thread and <a href="http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-14.html">request a driver number</a> if you haven't!
Dreampack 2 (BMW M4 Akrapovic) and Red Pack (Mazda RX-7 Tuned) required to race.
Cars all feature a custom fixed/locked setup, this is enabled by default on the server. Practice only on the server to avoid not being used to the setup and/or track conditions.
Public server skin pack: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5950...public.rar. Install: extract to Steam/steamapps/common/assettocorsa
BMW 1M Stage 3 features adjustable boost, which in testing has been set to 100%. If you choose it, it's your responsibility to check if it's on 100% boost; press 0 on your keyboard every time you (re-)enter the server to get 100% boost.
Ballast is determined based on the overall balance between cars over the entire calendar; some cars outperform others on certain tracks, again to be slower on others; provide very contradicting findings preferably through private message to me.
Ballast may be subject of change when car(s) prove to be dominant.
When a car is not included in the above list, it might have been too fast (requiring too much ballast) or too slow. To avoid not being able to select your car during practice a series won't feature more than six different cars.
If you've raced a car in qualifying or a heat, you have to use it for the remainder of the series.
15 minutes qualifying
Heat 1: approx 15 minutes, in laps, announced in weekly race thread
Heat 2: approx 15 minutes, in laps, announced in weekly race thread
Heat 3: approx 15 minutes, in laps, announced in weekly race thread
Grid orders:
Heat 1: qualifying result
Heat 2: heat 1 result + top five reverse*
Heat 3: heat 2 result + top five reverse*
*reverse grid (based on previous heat result) for heat 2 and heat 3 always for top five from previous heat.
After every racing heat the server will be restarted, this takes a few minutes due to manually assigning the entry list a.k.a. starting order. It's recommended to wait for my Steam chat message to rejoin without issues.
Conditions on race day might differ to the practice server, weather conditions will be (during winter: somewhat, during summer: almost completely) based on real conditions. Temperatures on both the public and race server will have some randomness in terms of both ambient and track temperature.

Teams can be formed by;
1 pro + 1 am
1 pro + 2 am's (In case of 2 am's only the best am counts towards week total)
2 pro's
2 pro's + 1 am
In case of 2 pro's only the best pro counts towards week total; you need an am driver if you want to be competitive with teams that have good pro and am drivers.
2 dropped scores for all teams, meaning the two worst total week results will be dropped.
Maximum of 3 drivers per team, you can make one driver replacement during the series, but have to announce it before the race where you're going to use the new driver (scores of the previous driver will still count up until that point).
Drivers who haven't yet ran in series here will go through a performance screening. In unsure cases that driver might not be assigned to either Pro or Am and will not be eligible for a team in the ongoing series.
