OVERVIEW

Welcome to Season 13 of the DRL North American Championship! 

Delta Racing League is a PC-based ACC community that is open to beginners and more advanced racers alike, with an emphasis on developing consistency and sound racecraft over mere outright pace.  We welcome those with a friendly attitude, who like to talk racing with a bit of banter mixed in, those who want to race together, improve together, and most importantly, have fun with a hobby we all share!

You need to be verified on our Discord to be able to participate in this league, so please join the DRL Discord server and make sure you follow instructions in #readme-and-rules to get the correct role. This requires an SA of at least 50.

If the grid is full, we will remove unverified drivers to make space for those on the waitlist who have been verified.

BROADCASTS

We expect to bring as many live race broadcasts to the Delta Racing League Youtube Channel as possible this season!

SERVER DETAILS

Server: [drlna] Delta Racing League NA | Season 13

Password: See Discord Sprint Series (NA) #race-day-info for the server password on the day of the race. You need to have the driver role to see this channel in discord, see above.

The server will restart an hour before the Qualifying. During the week prior to the race, the server will be used as a practice server with settings comparable to those during the race. We will also publish a forecast that will give you a good idea of what the Race Weekend weather should look like. See 🔵-race-day-info-🔵 for details.

The NA server is located in The Midwest/Chicago area. Anyone is welcome to participate but we do require your ping to be sub-300 to avoid dangerous latency.

FORMAT

This season's championship consists of Six races. Qualifying starts at 8PM ET / 5PM PT. The server will be restarted one hour before qualifying with a 1 hour practice session. The server is available throughout the week as a practice, with weather and time settings that will be used on the race weekend.

The races well be held according to the following formats:

SPRINT

  • 20-minute Qualifying (10min AM then PRO split)
  • 60-minute Race with a mandatory stop for fuel and tires (1x Pts) 
    • This is to keep the league more beginner friendly and allow drivers to recover from early incidents 

SUPER SPRINT

  • 20-minute Qualifying (10mins AM then PRO split)
  • 30-minute Race 1 with no required pit stop (.5x Pts)
  • 30-minute Race 2 with no required pit stop (.5x Pts)

Finale

  • 20-minute Qualifying (10mins AM then PRO split)
  • 90-minute Race with mandatory stop for fuel and tires (1.5x Pts)

SELECTING YOUR SPLIT

This season, we will once again have both PRO and AM splits, and we will crown both an Overall Champion, as well as an AM Champion. We expect drivers to self-select into the correct split, and reserve the right to move drivers around if they clearly belong in the other split. There is no benefit to attempt a sandbag by selecting AM, and we do not want drivers to be over their head in PRO.

To help you self-select, here are some cut-off times for the PRO split in qualifying trim (These times are based on patch 1.8):

- Barcelona: sub 1:45

- Imola: sub 1:44

Points are shared across classes (e.g. if top placed AM driver finishes 3rd, they will score points for 3rd place finish, not 1st place).

TEAMS

Teams are limited to two drivers per. So, find a friend that will drive the same car and sign up!  Teams can consist of the same class or both a Pro and a Am driver if you so choose. We don't want to stop you from teaming up with your friends, and we want to encourage Pro-Am teams where the Am driver can benefit from working with a Pro in terms of setups, racecraft, and technique.

ABOUT LIVERIES AND NUMBERS

  1. As is now "custom"ary, we will allow the use of external-to-ACC custom liveries.  DRL is now using the Awesome Sim Racing application to manage liveries. Follow the instructions in our Discord to add your livery to the appropriate DRL Collection. 
  2. Drivers are also free to use custom in-game liveries, as well as IRL liveries.
  3. Drivers who are teaming up together must have similar liveries that clearly identify them as being on the same team.
  4. Racing numbers are first come, first served.  SimGrid allows for duplicate numbers across classes (even Pro and Am) and we will change numbers as-needed if there are duplicates. To avoid this, just pay attention to the numbers when you are signing up. :)

OFF-WEEKS

We will be taking Memorial weekend (May 29th) off. Enjoy some time with the family, watch all the races or Both!
