Schedule
This season will last about two months. The number of races that will be driven may vary per season, but for now we've settled on 15. The season will be split up into 5 sessions with 3 15 mninute races each.
Racing in groups
For each session everyone will slot into groups based on their ranking.
The groupcut
For the first session, a predistribution of the entries from last season will be made amongst the groups. All new entries will be randomly distributed.
For sessions 2-5 the current standings will simply be cut up, top to botttom. While the tournament progresses, you'll find yourself more and more among equals.
When will you race
Within your group you must negotiate a date and time when you will come together to do the races. A session leader will be appointed by the tournament organisation to lead the negotiations. Every session will have a deadline, before which the races have to be held. The negotiations will be held on the Redline webboard.
Hosting
Apart from the determining the time that you will meet to race, you will also determine who will host the race session (and preferably a backup host). On the rare occasion that you're not able to find a suitable host within your group, you can always ask someone else (foreign host).
Starting grids
Before each session, semi-random starting grids will be published. These will ensure that no one gets an advantage by, for example, always being the host. As long as Redline doesn't provide a means for arranging a starting order, we solve this by using the first lap to set up the starting grid and do a rolling start.
Rolling start procedure
- The race will be setup with an extra lap to allow everyone to take their place according to the predetermined grid.
- The pole sitter will annouce the taunt he will use to indicate the moment the race is on. He can use one already present among his existing taunts, as long as it's clear to everyone.
- At the start of the formation lap, the first thing everyone will do is to seek their place in the grid.
- The field will do the formation lap in a single file formation at 50mph/80kph and will stay in that single file formation until the pole sitter gives his taunt. That signals the start of the race and everyone is allowed to break the formation and overtake.
- After the last corner, the pole sitter will control the start of the race. He will allow for everyone to reach the home straight and while still doing the steady 50mph/80kph he will choose the moment to use his taunt and start the race.
- On tracks that have a tricky first corner where high speeds and a dense field are an invitation to mayhem (e.g. Monza, Brands), you may decide beforehand to fix the moment of the start on the start/finish line.
- On a long track (like Spa or Black Forest) you may decide to start the formation lap a couple of corners before the start/finish line.
Races
Because we have an expanding selection of tracks and cars, every season the races to be held will have to be determined. Cars have been divided up into classes by the Redline Car Class Committee (RC3). For each race, you will have a choice from a certain car class.

| Redlogs |
For reviewing purposes, the redlogs of every race will be made available on the Session pages of this website. For this reason you must not forget to actually save them after the race. Send them 1 of 2 ways:
1. You have access to some webspace where you will upload them. You will pm the Race Administrator the url to that zipfile.
2. Email the zipfile(s)to the Race Administrator (DANDY).
