Main Chapter Forum
Remember, Teamspeak 3 is a requirement to race. Standard R2P place for Teamspeak - details here if anyone needs them:-

Port: 9987
NEW - I WILL BE CREATING A PASSWORDED TEAMSPEAK ROOM FOR THE EVENT (called ARCA Berlin) - around 1 to 2 hours before the race. The password used will the same as that for the race - this should ensure that only those with access to the race password can join us on Teamspeak.
There will be a Meeting on TS around 20 minutes BEFORE Qualifying (c. 30 minutes before race start) - just to run through some basics before the fun begins. Can you all please "park it" and listen in at that time.
Pit Entry:-
Pit entry is mid-way through T1.
Under Green you should enter the apron before the start finish straight, get it slowed right down (25mph pitlane speed limit) before the turn and take it nice and easy.
Under Yellow we can go in later on, but remember - slowly does it!
Pit Exit:
Under Green & Yellow flag conditions, exit the pits and rejoin on the low line. It's a 90 degree left turn to get on the short apron, rejoin the track immediately but keep it low. Those on track be aware that joining cars will stay low and therefore plan to go high on the outside to compensate.
Remember, if you can't leave your pitbox because there's a car in front - WAIT. No bumping out of the way please.
While on pit road – stay all the way to the RIGHT until you need to enter your pit box. This is to ensure all others on pit lane can see and enter their pit box as well as have space to exit their pit stall safely.
Use of a mapped steering button or keyboard key can also be used for pit road calls (I know some of you don’t have microphones but can listen in on Teamspeak).
Smoking cars:-
Will be asked to pit and remove tape. Not pitting to fix the issue after a warning will result in you being Disqualified post race.
Leaving the Race:-
If you have to ESCAPE from the race for whatever reason, please do so after moving OFF the track (if at all possible) or preferably stopping at your pit stall.
No live steward:-
Therefore any penalties issued will have to be served. Thanks for your understanding (I want to race).
Other:-
Pit Lane Speed Limit prior to the Race itself - regardless of Online Session in progress (eg Practice or Happy Hour), the Pit Lane speed limit MUST be attempted to be adhered to at all times (NEW).
Remember, at R2P you car livery choice is limited to the original 2008 cars.
Premium Members at R2P have the option of adding their own livery in a Skin Pack. The Skin Pack (click on Files Used tab on Event page to download) is a self installer, just point it at your main ARCA directory, it does the rest. I recommend everyone racing installs it - even if you don't have a skin, you'll be racing against other cars with a different livery from the standard 2008 cars.
