Porsche 962C Long Tail (short tail not eligible)
Mazda 787B
Mercedes C9
Porsche Pack 2 and Dream Pack 1 required to race (covers all cars).
Cars all feature an OPEN SETUP. Ballast and restrictors are determined based on what seems like a good fit. Changes during the series might take place.
If you've raced a car in qualifying or a heat, you have to use it for the remainder of the series or you will lose previous results. 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).
Skin/liveries
A skin pack will be released at the start of the series and updated when necessary. More about choosing skins: http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-742.html
Qualifying: 20 minutes
Race: timed 40 minute race, 1 extra lap as is Kunos default
Grid orders
Race: qualifying result
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 throughout the series.
Like in the Sunday series, the track will be drawn from a list at race time. The race thread includes a list of the tracks that are up for a draw that week. Tracks will not feature more than once in a series.
There will be no practice server, as this is a side series, and our cosy nature should be preserved by not allowing too much preparation.

Track list:
Before every track is the weight rating, this somewhat corresponds with the number of times a track was raced in the real series according to Wikipedia. This weight rating determines how many slots of the six a track will take. A dice will be thrown to determine which of the six slots will be the track of the day.

How to install mod tracks: http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-250.html
Tire wear: 100%
Fuel: 100%
Damage: 70%
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: 2 tyres out; on during practice, qualifying and racing heats
Beware that our rule is to keep two wheels within white lines, where Kunos also includes the kerbs as track limits
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 temperatures 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. 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.
There will only be an overall championship, with division titles being awarded with separate scoring; if you get 12th overall you won't score points overall, but do score points in your respective division assuming there's four drivers from each division. Best five week results count to overall and divisional standings.
For every race (as from the real world series):
1st: 20 points
2nd: 15
3rd: 12
4th: 10
5th: 8
6th: 6
7th: 4
8th: 3
9th: 2
10th: 1
No points are awarded if the car does not complete 90% of the distance covered by the winning car
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 four week results count to overall and divisional standings
There'll be no teams for this series. The divisions below will be used for divisional titles.

The list above, although subjective, is non-debatable. If you're somehow not on the list, but have made at least two races in a series before, please PM me. Even if you're not on the list and/or haven't done any racing with us before, you're of course allowed to participate in this series.
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 or on Discord.
Before reporting it to the staff, first watch the replay yourself (request it 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.
Short overview of our guidelines:
- return position when your fault causes someone to leave the track, spin or lose a position
- return position, return to track, carry out slow down penalties only when safe
- safety is the most important part of the first corners; keep battles and overtakes to a minimum
- respect the blue flag: allow lapping traffic an effortless pass that doesn't slow them down
- respect during qualifying; when on your first lap, give lapping cars an effortless pass that doesn't slow them down
- keep two wheels within white lines as much as possible
- no blatant swerving or blocking; only switch lines once and allow space for others who are aside you before braking
- no dive bombing; do not dive on the inside of cars braking earlier than you while not already aside
- watch a replay from multiple angles before judging an incident
First time racing with us in a series?
1) make sure you've posted your car choice in LINK SOON
2) sign up every week in the weekly race thread with an In, Maybe or Out. You can join a series any time and don't have to make all the races. Only those who posted on time in the race thread are added to the entry list.
3) please make sure you add your name to the Crew Chief (Assetto app) name list http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-304.html
4) Discord is mandatory to participate in our events, joining our voice channel is recommended (a mic is not mandatory). More on Discord and download: http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-362.html
5) 15 to 10 minutes before qualifying, I will post a message on Discord saying the server is live (search "cosy" in the server list). It's then in practice mode until qualifying starts. Between heats the server will be restarted, I'll again post on Discord when the server is live; from there you have two minutes to connect
6) Make sure to read before asking questions; the rules, races threads and other series' threads are often written so they includes (almost) anything you need to know
