SR4L Xmas Time Trial!

Fancy a bite-sized challenge this Christmas? Need to scratch that racing itch but festive commitments getting between you and an afternoon in your rig?

Join us over the next couple of weeks* for a Christmas Cracker (apologies) of a SR4L Just4Fun special - Nordschleife 2.4 Bridge-to-Gantry Time Trial in the F1 Legends cars…

Our very-own DJCruicky has created a unique version of the Nordschleife track based on the classic tourist layout. No need for a warmup lap - the timer starts as soon as you pass under the bridge just beyond the pits and ends at the advertising gantry part way down the main straight (hopefully) less than ten minutes later… You have to pass through the pits to start a lap - hence this is a Time Trial and not a conventional hotlap competition.

League members should note that vehicle choice is free - you are *NOT* required to stick with your league car.
Note - The Britus 49 is excluded from the available car list.


Sounds good?
It gets better! There’s a cherry on this Christmas cake… PRIZE(s)!

At the complete discretion of the race director (*not* Michael Masi, before anyone asks… :eek there will be at least one prize up for grabs for qualifying drivers (see criteria below). A 1:43 scale model of the ‘winning car’ will be awarded on behalf of SR4L to the driver with the quickest valid time prior to midnight 31st December 2021 (UK time) who meets the qualifying criteria set out in the post below.

Have fun - and good luck - and a happy Christmas and New Year from all at SR4L!

Prize Qualification Criteria (Only one criterion required):
i) Driver has completed at least three rounds of any of the following league competitions (Rounds 1-4 of F1 Legends '21/'22 league, 1973 Porsche 911 RSR Series) - or,
ii) Driver has completed at least one Wednesday Night Fun Race between December 1st and 15th) - or,
iii) Driver is a member of the SR4L admin team

If you are unsure if you qualify for a prize award, please PM [USER=579]@Mr Fox (Myles7)[/USER] for discrete verification.

For clarity - the time trial is open to anyone - but only drivers meeting the above criteria are eligible for prize awards. Please also note that the time trial server may remain open into the new year, but only times recorded in 2021 qualify for prize awards. Prize awards will be announced ASAP in 2022 once validated.

Drivers are requested (but not required) to preserve and share on request a copy of the rf2 replay (.VCR) file for their best lap - let’s see how it’s done!

Finally, the decisions of the Race Directors are final, the terms of this event may be subject to change and the usual [url]SR4L etiquette and driving standards rules apply[/url].

TECHNICAL

- For technical reasons, the server is set for 90-minute Practice sessions with NO Qualy/Warmup and a three-minute (!) race duration. If a session times out after a driver has started a timed lap, they can complete the lap if they wish - the server will NOT restart mid-lap.
- Drivers may vote to restart the weekend to make best use of available time - but please *ONLY* do this if all active drivers are stationary in the pits.
- It is not possible to run the server without a race entirely so please either wait for the three minutes to time out or vote for next session.

To keep things fair, the track does NOT rubber-in so no-one will gain an advantage at the end of a busy session (track is set to ‘medium’ rubber). The pit-lane speed limit is also deliberately set quite low (45mph) so that (warmer tyres aside), drivers will not gain an advantage from passing through the pitlane compared to a single lap.
Lap times recorded on or after a pit lane speeding incident has been recorded will be disregarded unless the incident occurred on pit entry and the driver quits and restarts from the monitor.

To make this a bit *more* of a challenge, damage is set to 100% to reward clean, tidy driving.
