Description and Instructions
Welcome to the New World Sim Racing GT3 Sprint Championship!
All skill levels are encouraged to
sign up as we all learn from each other and work towards becoming better
drivers.
You must join our Discord in order to participate in the GT3 Series.
Race Server Password will be posted in Discord.
THIS SEASON WE WILL BE USING THE LFM BOP WITH POTENTIAL CHANGES TO CARS IT DOES NOT INCLUDE. We will also be attempting manufacturer scoring as well, for an extra fun side thing. We have no idea if it will work, or what it will be like.
Driver Classes
In order to accommodate all skill levels we place drivers into one of
three classes: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The championship scoring
is done on a per-class basis, so you can still win your class even if
you place 10th overall. Driver placements are determined by previous
season results, and/or Simgrid race history. We may also move a
driver up/down during the season if we determine they have been placed
incorrectly.
Please sign up for the GT3 class with the car you want to run, we
will place people in their respective splits before the season starts. You may change cars with no points penalty once, within the first 3 rounds. After that, any car change will deduct 30 points from your total for the season. Please let an admin know if you would like to change cars at any point during the season.
Format
The championship consists of 10 weekly races with two dropped rounds, and three one-week breaks. These can be races you miss/sign out of, or your lowest points races if you attend every event.
The race server will go online at 4p PT / 7p ET
on Sunday and consist of the following sessions, unless otherwise
specified:
- 60 min practice
- 15 min second practice (starts at 5p PT / 8p ET)
- 31 min qualifying
- 60 minute race
Qualifying
The 31 minute qualifying session will be split into two parts:
- First 11 minutes reserved for Bronze drivers
- Second 10 minutes reserved for Silver drivers
- Last 10 minutes reserved for Gold drivers
Race
Races will be 60 minutes with one
mandatory pit stop unless otherwise specified. There is no pit window, however your pit stop is a minimum of 25s with mandatory refueling. Tire change is not mandatory, but if you choose to do so, it will add 5 extra seconds to your pit stop.
Missing Races
While we would love to have a full grid every race we do understand
life happens and you might need to miss a race or two. If you do need to
miss a race, please sign out so we can keep track or have someone in
the waitlist join. Please note: If you miss the first two races of the
season without signing out you will be dropped from the series.
Racing Standards and Stewarding
At NWSR, we emphasize clean racing and good race craft, because we understand the frustration of being crashed out on lap 1
of the only race you can participate in that week.
All incidents are recorded automatically and reviewed after the race by our stewards. Lap 1
incidents are given double penalties and all penalty points accumulated over a season are tracked.
You can find our rule book here.
