REGISTRATION

To register as a Qualifier for the Coach Dave 1000, click the "Register Team" button. On the next screen, select your team, the drivers of the car, the car and a car number.

All 3 drivers must do the qualifying process with the selected car.

Registration to the qualifiers is free, however teams will be required to pay the entry fee if they successfully qualify for any of the 3 available splits.

If the team successfully qualifies, they may use a different car than the car they qualified with. E.g. Team may qualify in AMG and race with the Porsche.

Registration to the qualifiers will close at 16:00 GMT on Monday 21st March.

QUALIFICATION DATES

The qualification process will begin on Monday 14th March at 12:00 GMT (13:00 CET) and end on Monday 21st March at 21:00 GMT (22:00 CET).

QUALIFICATION PROCESS

Every team that registers as a Qualifier for the Coach Dave 1000 must have three drivers. All three drivers of the team must set hotlaps at each of the chosen tracks. These tracks are; Barcelona and Monza.

All three drivers must set their laps in the car that the team is registered with and they must use this same car at both tracks. Any laps set in different cars to the registered car will be invalid and will not count.

The best time from each driver will then be averaged together to determine the teams lap time at each track. The team time from Barcelona and Monza will then be added together to create the teams total qualifying time and the leaderboard will be sorted by this time.

Example: Barcelona; 1:43.101 (Driver 1) + 1:43.010 (Driver 2) + 1:42.555 (Driver 3) = 5:08.666 (avg time) Monza; 1:46.809 (Driver 1) + 1:47.001 (Driver 2) + 1:46.888 (Driver 3) = 5:20.698 (avg time) Total Time; 5:08.666 + 5:20.698 = 10:29.364

WHO QUALIFIES?

At minimum, the top 50 teams will qualify to enter the Coach Dave 1000. However, this number may increase as it is dependant on how many of the invited teams accept/reject their invitation. Once the deadline for the invited teams passes, the total number of teams that will qualify as well as the number of slots for each split will be confirmed.

The final number of teams that will progress from the the qualifiers will be confirmed no later than Wednesday 16th March.

PRO SPLIT

RULE CHANGES

The Coach Dave 1000 will use a newly introduced rule set. This new rule set will see smaller punishments for minor transgressions, allow drivers to race against each other a bit harder within the rules, but the revised licence points system will see repeat offending teams/drivers be punished in a much more severe manner than ever before.

For the full rule set, please click here

STEWARDING

All 3 splits will have both live and post race stewarding.

Teams will have to use the Report forms made available in the discord channel #protests for incidents to be investigated by the stewards.

Teams will also get the opportunity to appeal against a penalty they received. Teams are limited to only 3 appeals in the entire season and the appeals will only be reviewed post-race as appeals are viewed by an independant party who was not involved in the original decision.

PIT STOPS AND STINTS

There are no mandatory pit stops, however a stint timer of 65 minutes will be in place. If a driver does not make a pit stop before the end of the stint limit, then the game will issue a penalty.

Maximum driving time is TBD.

POINTS SYSTEM

Points will be awarded to the Top 22 of each race.

POSITION POINTS P1 50 P2 42 P3 36 P4 32 P5 30 P6 28 P7 26 P8 24 P9 22 P10 20 P11 18 P12 16 P13 14 P14 12 P15 10 P16 8 P17 6 P18 5 P19 4 P20 3 P21 2 P22 1

ABSENT TEAM MATE

This is a driver swap series where each team is required to have 3 drivers at each race. However, in the event that a driver is unavailable, there are 3 options available to the team:

  1. Replace the unavailable driver with somebody else;
  2. Withdraw the car from the round using the withdraw function (explained further down this page);
  3. Race without the unavailable driver however any in-game penalties will not be removed.

WITHDRAW AND RESERVES

If a team is unavailable to attend a round in the championship, then use the withdraw function. This is found by clicking on the "Races" tab, and then "Admin" on the round you need to withdraw from. There you will find the withdraw button. Withdrawing from a round means you are withdrawn from both races held that round. It is not possible to only withdraw from one of the two races held at each round.

Every team is permitted 5 withdrawals. However, missing a round without prior withdrawal will see the team disqualified and removed from the series.
