Event host: Endersai
Session Host: Oh_Darn (because Australian interwebs)
Participants: Min 24, Max 28
Safety Car Driver/Pit Watcher: Endersai
Weather: Always set to "current"

Cars
Cars can be taken from the list below. SAGTC is built off a diverse field, and not from everyone racing the same car.
Note:
Any cars marked with a * are subjected to balance of performance (BoP) downgrades.
Progen Itali GTB (Engine 4/Transmission 4/No Turbo)*
Grotti Turismo R (Engine 4/Transmission 4/No Turbo)*
Vapid FMJ (Engine 3/Transmission 4/No Turbo)*
Overflod Entity XF (Engine 4/Transmission 4/No Turbo)*
Pegassi Reaper (Engine 4/Transmission 4/Turbo)
Changing Cars:
During the “mid season break”, teams may switch cars. Doing so involves taking a penalty, in which you start from the pit lane.
This qualifies as a penalty for the purposes of the “white card” rules (explained below).
A driver may not change their car for the last race for "fun" unless a majority of drivers have approved the decision in the thread beforehand. Just because you might have reached your season goal doesn't mean they have, and you need to consider the impact to them as well.
RACING RULES:
1) Cars must be one of the prescribed chassis above. Other cars may be considered, provided they are not one of the following: Pegassi Tempesta; Pegassi Zentorno; Pegassi Osiris; Annis RE-7B; Progen T20; Grotti X80; Pfister 811; Truffade Nero and Nero Custom; Dewbauchee Vagner; Ocelot XA-21; Coil Rocket Voltic
2) Cars with a * symbol will be subjected to mandatory downgrades. Those downgrades are enforced on gentleman's (or ladies’) agreement.
3) Cars must race in a team of two drivers. Teams must have a principal sponsor – either as a factory team or with sponsorship by a major business in the GTA Universe: gta.wikia.com/Businesses_in_GTA_V
a. Teams cannot share primary sponsors
b. Teams may run inverse colour schemes for their drivers. For example, if Progen run factory Black and Orange colours, then Car 1 would be orange primary black secondary; Car 2 would be black primary, orange secondary. For a visual example, see this link.
c. For ETR-1 and 900R teams, liveries will be heavily restricted so as to keep the cars consistent in appearance with the rest of the field.
4) Teams should run one of the following categories of tyre only – Tuner, Sport, High-End, SUV. All other categories are prohibited.
a. Tyres must be "custom", showing the Atomic logo
5) Teams may run all other upgrades, including armour, engine, suspension and brakes. The extent to which these are employed are at team discretion and as favoured by individual drivers.
6) Race starts will be on a sticky bomb that detonates after the time nominated by the safety car driver.
7) Where a circuit has a pit stop facility, each driver must make one pitstops per bloc of ten laps. For example, a 15 lap race would be 2 blocs of ten laps (laps 1-10, 11-15) and require two stops. A 25 lap race would be 3 pitstops. Pits must be called out as you take them.
a. The pit lane will be open after 20% of race distance has been completed. Endersai will advise before the race the RACE LAP in which the pits are accessible. Note; a formation lap does not count.
b. A pitstop is not defined by time spent stopping and going, but rather a pass through the pit lane. For this reason, a pitstop cannot be on the last lap of a race where the driver would not be at full speed when they cross the finish line. For the avoidance of doubt, Endersai will clarify if the pits ARE open on the last lap of a race prior to the race commencing.
c. For stunt races: drivers must respawn on secondary checkpoints. They MUST come to a complete stop before their car respawns.
d. Drivers rejoining the track must take care to avoid causing an incident; they should assume drivers on track have right of way.
8) Where a driver is at fault for a collision involving one or more other cars, they are expected to wait as per NoDO crew guidelines. This includes where lag is a factor; what you see on your screen is not what others saw. Please respect this.
9) If any incident occurs where 3 or more cars are involved in a collision or a driver disconnects, full course yellow flags will be waved (FCY). Full course yellows require the pack to slowdown, maintain distance to one another, and not overtake anyone. Once FCY have been declared, the safety car (SC) will be deployed and pick up the pack. The SC regulates the race's pace and confirms that no danger remains. The SC will then indicate its return to pits, and from the entry to the nominated safety car line, the race leader controls the pace.
a. During a FCY or SC, overtaking is forbidden except where driver error causes a loss of position
b. Pitting under SC is not allowed
10) Communication is via TeamSpeak.
11) Racing lines, overtaking, and weaving/defending - for avoidance of doubt we fully use FIA F1 rules here. For the purposes of cornering, an overtake is done when the front wheels of the attacking car are in line with the rear wheels of the defending car.

12) Players are required to cap their games at 60FPS so as to avoid advantages from FPS boosts.
13) The primary attributes of a good SAGTC driver are reliability and attitude. Being an unpleasant, rude, angry or negative person who happens to be faster than light is not enough to get you a seat in the event. Being a good person who shows us, is. Continuing this thinking on, you should always show respect for other drivers at all times, even if they aren’t showing you respect. We will deal with issues as they arise.
a. In the event commentary turns angry and personal, a drive-through penalty will be awarded by Endersai. It must be served within 3 laps.
White cards
14) Drivers are issued with two White Cards during the course of the season. Each driver must elect to drop 2 scores over the course of the season. Scores are dropped by playing a “white card”. The scores can only be dropped from the race/s that has/have just been completed. The cards cannot be used for races before the most recent one; nor can drivers vary their choices once they have made them. Should drivers not, by season's end, have nominated their two dropped scores then we will drop firstly the highest, and then lowest, scoring positions.
a. White cards cannot be used for races where the driver is serving a penalty.
15) The use of any mods or trainers in the event, including for practice, will result in a disqualification for the whole team.
16) Curb boosting/surfing - the practice of attaining speed boosts by mounting a curb or similar multiple times - is banned. As a general rule, curb boosting is one curb = one boost.
This also applies to ripple strips, which are considered curbs.
a. On tracks where the surface is mostly or exclusively Stunt Prop pieces (i.e. Monza, Pillbox Hill GP), the race organisers will provide guidance around exceptions before the race. This guidance will be specific to the circuit.
b. Wall boosts are considered to be a curb boost under the above rules.
Points
Points are awarded as follows:
1st 25pts
2nd 20pts
3rd 18pts
4th 16pts
5th 14pts
6th 12pts
7th 10pts
8th 8pts
9th 6pts
10th 4pts
11th 2pts
12th 1pt
If drivers are tied on points, positions are decided on results countback. Wins are compared, and the driver with most wins is classified ahead. If wins are equal, second places are looked at, and so on.
Grids
Races 1 and 2 will be fully randomised grids. Race 3 will take the top 12 positions from race 1, and reverse those for the race. Positions 13-28 will start in the order they finished.
Race 4 will take the result of race 2 as a basis, and so on. All odd race results will determine the start of the next odd race; all even race results will determine the results of the next even race.
Example:
RacerX finishes P1 in race 1, and P15 in race 2. RacerX starts race 3 in P12 (reverse of Race 1 results) and P15 in race 4 (>12th place, so start in order they finished.
This helps to manage strategies for the team before the race weekend.
The Strategy Group
The strategy group is an advisory group who advise on the operation of the event by discussing rules decisions or any other key discussions.
To enhance transparency, a member of the strategy group will be responsible for communicating the Group’s decision to the thread. This includes where the Group disagreed with the event host and were overruled.
Members of the group can also act as advocates for drivers concerns. The members for Season 7 are:
