McLaren P1
The P1 has the option to either be in RACE MODE which charges and delivers or CHARGE mode which only harvests, so either you drive conservatively for a lap to get enough battery charge to finish the race flat out or you find a section of the track where you can turn the IPAS system to CHARGE mode briefly to gain some battery life each lap.
Bind a steering wheel button to 'MGU-H mode' toggles between the two settings "RACE" and "CHARGE".

<div style="padding:16px;border:1px solid red">KERS: A kinetic energy recovery system (often known simply as KERS, or kers) is an automotive system for recovering a moving vehicle's kinetic energy under braking. The recovered energy is stored in a reservoir (for example a flywheel or high voltage batteries) for later use under acceleration.
DRS: The drag reduction system (or DRS) is a form of driver adjustable bodywork aimed at reducing aerodynamic drag in order to increase top speed and promote overtaking. It is an adjustable rear wing of the car, which moves in response to driver commands.
Both are legal to use in series races!</div>
Cars all feature a custom setup, which is locked by default on the server. Practice only on the server to get 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 or you will lose previous results.
Ballast, Restrictors & Balance
Ballast and restrictors are determined based on the overall balance between cars over the entire calendar; some cars outperform on certain tracks to be slower on others. Ballast and restrictors are designed to stay the same throughout a series, but 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 cars.
Skin/liveries
Every car is required to have a racing themed skin/livery. Skins may not feature:
- alcohol or tobacco related sponsors
- names, url's or logo's from competing race leagues or groups
- other sponsors that can be seen as offensive and/or can cause problems in promotion of this community
Driver number plates, crew boards and rear plates on the car are provided by the series host. The driver numbers have to be placed on the (front) doors below the mirrors. Please place them in the size provided (100% scale).
Race Format
15 minutes qualifying
Heat 1: 15 minutes timed
Heat 2: 15 minutes timed
Heat 3: 15 minutes timed
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 Discord text and/or voice message to rejoin without issues.
Calendar
The race thread includes a list of the three tracks that are up for a draw that week. Like previous series, the track will be drawn from a list of three at race time. The two tracks that aren't drawn will continue to next week's selection. Tracks will not feature more than once in a series.
The practice server will have one of the tracks from the upcoming week's draw.

Points
There will be an overall and team championship. Best five week results count to overall standings. Titles will be awarded to the best driver in each division.
For teams the best ten scores of a team will count. Teams can consist of:
- one Pro driver and one Am driver; best five results from every driver count
- two Pro-am drivers; best five results from every driver count
- one from each division; best three results count from Pro and Am drivers, best four from Pro-am driver
For every race heat
50 for first place
48 for second place
46 for third place
44 for fourth
42 for fifth
40 for sixth
39 for seventh
...down with increments of 1 point
The point system has changed since previous series to suit the new team rules.
A driver has to finish at least 70% of the race distance (rounded upwards) in laps compared to the race winner in order to score points (NEW THIS SEASON)
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
Teams
Maximum of 3 drivers per team, minimum of two drivers per team. All team members have to drive the same car, which has to be instantly recognisable as being a team car; cars of team members may differ in secondary or third color.
You can replace one driver during the series once, 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).
You can also use multiple drivers for one slot. This is useful when there's multiple drivers who are not sure if they can make enough races. Only one driver from a shared slot can score points for a team in that race. Teams have to post ahead of the race which drivers are eligible for team points when there are multiple drivers from a single slot running in that race.
Teams can consist of:
- one Pro driver and one Am driver; best five results from every driver count
- two Pro-am drivers; best five results from every driver count
- one from each division; best three results count from Pro and Am drivers, best four from Pro-am driver

The list above, although subjective, is non-debatable. Only drivers participating in the past three Sunday Series, or recently active, have been ranked above.
If you're 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 and a division will be assigned soon.
Incidents
Although clean 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.
Try to contact the driver(s) involved first to see what they think of a situation before reporting it to staff. If you can work it out yourselves that's preferred. (NEW THIS SEASON)
Before reporting it to the staff, first watch the replay yourself from all drivers' involved views (request 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 you are not already aside
- watch a replay from multiple angles before judging an incident
First Time?
First time racing with us in a series?
1) make sure you've posted your car choice in http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-826.html
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, no password required since it's a locked entry list based on your Steam ID). 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
