Virtual Online Racers (VOR) is starting its 18th season.  Our league
is aimed to help beginners but we also have some fast drivers too.

We race on Friday nights, 8:30 PM Central US time and have practice
sessions same time on Wednesdays.  Our race length aims to be around
50% of the GP distance, but actually we adjust the distance for around
a 65 minute race time.  We use Intermediate Damage and allow Shift+Rs
with stop and go penalties as noted below in the rules.

The Schedule:

Season 18 69 mod

Jan 30 Kyalami 52 laps
Feb 6 Monaco 49 laps
Feb 13 Zandvoort 50 laps
Feb 20 Clermont Ferrand (folder clermont) 19 laps
Feb 27 Silverstone 48 laps
Mar 6 Nrburgring 7 laps
Mar 13 Oulton Park (folder oulton) 45 laps
Mar 20 Monza 44 laps
Mar 27 Mosport 52 laps
Apr 3 Watkins Glen 63 laps
Apr 17 Mexico 54 laps
Apr 24 Montjuic 46 laps

Our main rules are:

Race starts:  We go at the green, but we review the first part of the
first lap through the first few turns that we call the Orange Zone
(noted in the drivers meeting notes). Any crashes or passes that
cause a crash might be (but not always are) considered dangerous
driving and penalties will be assessed.

Shift+R:  Any time that a driver resets in the race, a Stop-and-Go
penalty must be served the next time through the pits.  We feel that
allowing resets rather than using the no reset Pro Damage mode gives
us a somewhat realistic race simulation while allowing for the
problems of online warping etc. This little penalty served during the
race will cause drivers to be more cautious as well, we hope.

Just one Stop-and-Go is required per lap, no matter how many resets
that you have in that one lap.
