We are pleased to welcome you to the Race Club UK Porsche Mini Series.
Featuring 5 races with split classes of the Gen 2 Porsche Cup car and the GT4 Porsche Cayman.
All races will feature a mandatory pitstop for all cars - however drivers are free to choose when to make this stop.
The first 4 rounds will be set up as follows:
60 Minute Practice
5 Minute One Lap Magic Qualifying where drivers are permitted to attempt a single hot lap in qualifying
65 Minute Race featuring the mandatory pitstops
The final round will be at the Nurburgring 24Hour track and will be set up as follows:
60 Minute Practise
10 Minute One Lap Magic Qualifying where drivers are permitted to attempt a single hot lap in qualifying - drivers are to use the short cut located at the last corner of the GP circuit
70 Minute Race featuring the mandatory pitstops.
To be eligible for points the driver must complete 70% (rounded up) of the race distance +1 lap. For clarity should the winner cover 50 laps then points will be awarded to drivers who have covered 70% (35 laps) + 1lap - therefore 36 laps.
Drivers below this will be marked as DNF and will score 0 points, but may still be eligible for penalty points if they are adjudged to be responsible for incidents.
Stewards may review this and increase the window for points scoring depending on the circumstances (e.g. serious adverse weather conditions).
A points scoring table is available on the scoring tab.
Incident Reports and Reviewing
The Stewards Panel is made up of a number of individuals who will remain anonymous to protect against any possible conflict of interest. If the incident in question involves one or more of these individuals, then they will refrain from offering an opinion on the incident in a stewards capacity.
This is the same process as has been used for the previous three seasons.
To submit an incident for review please use the incident reporting facility on Sim Grid.
Please note you have 24 hours from the start of the race to upload any incidents which you feel require review.
The incident being reported must be supported by video footage containing the following:
1) at least one external view of the incident
2) both drivers onboard showing steering wheel
If your footage does not contain these two requirements the incident report will not be upheld or considered further. There will be no request for further evidence if it is not supplied on submission.
ACC allows you to map a button to save replays and it may be advisable to record the race using the share button on your PS5 or X-Box. This can be uploaded to YouTube/Twitch or the capture gallery on PS5 or X-Box, or other video sharing web site. You can send the link to this recording with a time for the stewards to look at.
Stewards will only review the time specified
DRIVERS SHOULD ALSO BE AWARE THAT ANY REPORTS SUBMITTED BY A DRIVER WHO DOES NOT COMPLETE THE RACE (IE RAGE QUITS) WILL NOT BE REVIEWED
Some penalties may be dealt with in game – track limits, pitlane speeding etc these penalties will apply, however, some other incidents may require review. These will generally be Racing Incidents and Dangerous Driving.
Racing Incidents – if you feel another driver has caused an issue – forced you off the track, hitting your car or generally driving extremely aggressively then you should report it to the stewards for consideration.
Dangerous Driving – if a driver rejoins in an unsafe or dangerous manner or drives in a way that is a danger to other cars, you should report it to the stewards.
You should only report incidents you are involved in and not on behalf of someone else.
You may report incidents from Practice and Qualifying should you wish but again must be supported with video evidence and a brief commentary of why it is being reported together with details of when the event took place – race number and lap.
PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER THAT THE STEWARDS WILL NOT WATCH YOUR STREAM BACK FOR INCIDENTS. IF YOU FEEL AN INCIDENT REQUIRES REVIEW IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPORT IT.
PLEASE DO NOT MOAN ABOUT DRIVING STANDARDS IF YOU DO NOT REPORT INCIDENTS.
Mechanical/technical failures will not be reviewed by the stewards. If your wheelbase turns off, your pedals fail, or you lose internet connection because your wife is microwaving her dinner then while this is unfortunate and while it may result in divorce, the stewards do not have the discretion to intervene nor act as a marriage counsellor. Mechanical failures happen in the real world.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO HAVE FUN.
