Open Setups

6:40pm Eastern Practice (60 minutes).
8pm Eastern Qualify (2 laps) NO Talking! Strict Scrutiny setting.
8:10pm 90 Minute Race

- local yellows only, 40% Fuel. Practice those pitstops and strategies!

7am Sim time, 1 Fast repair during testing sessions. 0 Fast Repairs once the season starts. You got what you started with so keep it clean.
6 Second gap between classes on the start, short pace lap, rolling start. Go on Green Flag!

This is multiclass endurance racing. There's no need to take chances to pass someone in the 1st lap, especially if that driver was faster than you in practice. No one wants to be taken out in the first 5 minutes of a 90 minute race. It is the responsibility of the faster car to make a clean pass. It is NOT the Responsibility of the slower car to get out of the way! Slower cars, you are expected to be predictable and hold your line. It is highly encouraged to use radio communication. That means there will be no other radio chatter on the radios unrelated to the racing on the track! Keep the channels clear for that purpose. Use Discord for all other talking. You may move over on straights making it obvious or use radio to verbally communicate. Do not ruin your race going off track to let someone pass it usually causes problems for both cars.

This is a trial run for a points season, we are open discussion and changes. We welcome feedback and suggestions!

The Hosted Sessions will be open to the public so expect a few drivers to have to be removed. If you’re having an obvious issues with someone intentionally causing problems let us know so we can remove the problem! We want to find good drivers to join the RFJ league!

*Updated cars on 10/14/21

It looks like the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (991) was in its own class this week and we will have to replace it. Most likely with the 
Porsche 911 GT3 R. Apologies for the mistake.  We will confirm the change before the next race.

Quick question, I bought the Ferrari gt3 seeing it on the list you posted, but when I went to enter race last night, the car was not allowed. No problem if you are not planning on using that car.

 Thanks for all the hard work you guys are doing.

Kevin

Hi, guys!  I've been out of iRacing for over a year and excited to jump into the session tonight at Indy.  

Quick question: I just purchased the track today and I'm not familiar with it yet.  Is the racing line allowed in this series?
