Server Information
Server Name : ISO USAC 1978
Server IP : 51.77.116.8:34178
Server Password : iso78
A training server will be running 24/7 (same password).
The following rules will be observed for Time Trials on May 9th:
- Time Trials will be initially scheduled in order of car number.
- The tentative May 9th schedule can be viewed here, with the qualifying runs divided into 5-minute increments.
- If a driver cannot make their scheduled time slot, a swap can be negotiated with another driver and submitted to the admins up to 24 hours before the Time Trials begin. The schedule will then be updated accordingly.
- Each car will be allowed a maximum of three qualifying attempts. HOWEVER, this is not a guarantee that there will be enough time in the session for one car to make three attempts.
- In the case of an accident, blown engine or wave-off, the car in question will be charged one attempt, moved to the end of the line, and the next car scheduled will attempt to qualify. In the case of a late arrival or no-show, the car in question will be moved to the end of the line, but will not be charged one attempt.
- If a driver crashes or blows their engine in the pit lane, they have one more chance to leave the pits successfully. If a crash or blown engine occurs in the pit lane again, the car will be charged one attempt and moved to the end of the line.
- During Time Trials, the server will be closed so drivers can complete their runs undisturbed. At the top of each hour, a 5-minute window will allow people to come and go from the server, and then Time Trials will resume.
- A qualifying run will consist of one warm up lap, followed by four timed laps.
- The total time of the four timed laps will be each car's qualifying time, which will then be converted to MPH for their qualifying speed.
- During the Time Trial session, drivers may proceed to the track only when called on by the admin(s).
- Absolutely NO chatting is allowed while a qualifying run is underway.
- Per Indy tradition, since it is technically the car that qualifies for the race, a different driver can start a qualified car on race day -- the catch is that they must start the race in last place (assuming the car is not bumped during Time Trials). The driver qualifying said car cannot have already qualified for the race with another car.
- A driver may wave off their attempt before completing it if they feel it is too slow. One attempt will be charged to the car.
- Once a run has been completed, that is the car's qualifying time and speed, unless it is bumped from the 33 car grid.
- If a car is bumped out of the field, the driver of said car may get back into line and attempt to qualify again (provided they have additional attempts to use). The driver in question must ask to be put back in line by posting in the Time Trials thread.
- At 23:35 Paris time, if a driver is in the middle of a qualifying run, they will be allowed to complete the run.
- Only the fastest 33 cars will be allowed to start the 500 mile race on May 16th. In the event that less than 33 qualify, the remainder of the field will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis on Race Day. In the event that 33 qualify and there are drivers too slow to make the 33 car field, up to three alternates will be named (34th, 35th and 36th fastest) for Race Day, in the case that one or more of the qualified cars do not appear.
