Japanese Pack and first Porsche Pack required (Toyota Supra MK IV Tuned, Mazda RX-7 Tuned & Porsche 911 RSR)
Cars all feature a custom setup, which is locked by default on the server. Practice only on the server to avoid not being used to the setup and/or track conditions. If you've raced a car in qualifying or a heat, you have to use it for the remainder of the series.
For Supra drivers: the Turbo is set at 60% in the setup menu and is not to be changed during qualifying or races.
Ballast & Balance
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 only through private message to me.
Ballast may be subject of change when car(s) prove to be dominant. Setups might be adjusted for further balance. When a car is not included in the above list, it is because it's way too fast, too slow or because of other criteria (weight, powertrain, etc). To avoid not being able to select your car during practice a series won't feature more than five different cars.
Skins/liveries
Skins may not feature alcohol or tobacco related sponsors, names, url's or logo's from competing race leagues or groups nor other sponsors that can be seen as offensive and/or can cause problems in promotion of this community.
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 eight reverse*
Heat 3: heat 2 result + top eight reverse*
*reverse grid (based on previous heat result) for heat 2 and heat 3 always for top eight from previous heat
Before every racing heat the server will be restarted, this takes a few minutes due to manually assigning the entry list (starting order). It's recommended to wait for my Steam chat message to rejoin without issues.
Conditions on race day (likely) differ to those on the practice server. Temperatures on both the public and race server will have the same variations in randomness in terms of both ambient and track temperature.

How to install mod tracks: http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-250.html
Tire wear: 100%
Fuel: 100%
Damage: 50%
ABS: Factory (CTRL+A to disable)
Traction control and Stability Management: Forced off
Free choice: virtual mirror, auto/manual clutch, view/camera
Off track penalty: only on during qualifying (general guideline is to keep two wheels within white lines unless forced otherwise during the races)
Please turn off your car lights in cloudy or foggy conditions. It makes estimating the braking point of the car ahead easier and can prevent accidents from happening.
Track temperatures vary during practice, qualifying and race. This variation is random with minimum and maximum amounts set. The minimum and maximum variations are not changed, but the track surface temperature during qualifying and races are higher (more realistic). The weather type is set to closely reflect the weather of that day at that track. Base temperatures (and their variations) are the same throughout the series.
50 for 1st place
48 for second place
46 for third
44 for fourth
43 for fifth
42 for sixth
etc.
DNF (did not finish) equals last place in order of dropping out
DNS (did not start) equals zero points
Week result is sum of all racing heats
Best five week results count to overall standings
Best three results count to half series' standings
Maximum of 3 drivers per team, minimum of two drivers per team. The three worst total week results will be dropped for every team. Dropped scores will be processed in the last three weeks.
All team members have to drive the same car, which has to be instantly recognisable as being a team car; cars of team members are allowed to differ slightly in either secondary color, wing or mirror details.
Teams need at least one Am driver and are free in getting other drivers. Only two best scores per week count, of which one score is always that of an Am driver.

The list above, although subjective, is non-debatable. If you're somehow not on the list but still meet the conditions to be, please PM me.
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 replaced driver will still count up until that point).
Although clean, respectful and fair racing is our ethos, accidents can happen, especially in close racing. Whenever you're involved in an accident and feel aggrieved, do not make any public claims, assumptions or accusations on the forum.
Before reporting it to the staff, first watch the replay yourself (request to have it available for download by PM to me). If you still think you were the victim of actions that do not comply with our guidelines, send a PM to the series staff detailing your case.
If you do not report it, it will likely go unnoticed as I do not check replays for incidents unless I have any indication of uncosy behaviour. Thus, it's your responsibility to report uncosy track behaviour.
Ask below!
First time racing with us in a series?
1) sign up every week in the weekly race thread with an In, Maybe or Out.
2) get Steam chat messages 20-30 minutes before even start with server name, password and other details
3) wait for my Steam chat message before racing heats (server restarts), you have more than two minutes to connect
4) please make sure you add your name to the Crew Chief (Assetto app) name list http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-304.html
5) get Discord if you like to get on voice chat and text chat during official and non-official CosyRacingCommunity events: http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-362.html
24 slots rules
In case of more than 24 members signing up, priority will be given in the following order:
- all players on a team for the current series automatically secure a spot if they sign up
- privateers secure positions based on number of weeks fully attended in that series; qualifying and all three race heats are one appearance
- if number of appearances is equal, the total points of a player will determine the order of the list to keep the field as close as possible
- if the total points of the players are equal, I'll contact the involved drivers to find a solution
The sign-up list in the first post of the race thread will be updated with the (#th reserve) addition in case 24 sign-ups are exceeded. Future team rules will be adjusted to assure a fair position for regulars, currently no more team forming will be allowed.
