Game Picture League Picture

1.     Organizer

  1. The league is organized by Simrace.pl.
  2. The organizer uses the Assetto Corsa Competizione server to conduct the races and relies on this software for running sessions. In particular, this applies to: calculating cuts, checking speed in Pit Lane, DT and Stop and Go penalties, session results, placing vehicles on the grid, etc.
  3. The organizer is not responsible for any errors in the game or a possible disconnection of the user from the session, as well as the unavailability of the lobby servers.
  4. The organizer is a non-profit organization, or rather a group of enthusiasts who devote their time, and often money, to ensure that the website works efficiently, and the races and streams are at a high level.
  5. The donations are allocated to the maintenance of servers, and any surplus - if any - will be used for rewards.
  6. Any comments regarding a given league should be reported on the forum in the appropriate thread or the appropriate Discord channel.

  1. Before each racing round, the organizer will provide a pre-qualification server, where each driver wishing to take part in the race is required to make a certain number of correct laps.
  2. The correct laps are saved to the database for each driver and for each car. The pre-qualification results page shows the competitor's average of 5 best lap times and the number of laps for the selected car. If the car is changed on the website, the results for the newly selected car will be displayed after refreshing.
  3. Out laps, in laps and those where the server reported off-track are not valid and not saved in the database.

  5. The entry list for a given round is created automatically from the results of the pre-qualification, based on the best lap, the number of laps and presence status. It is the responsibility of the competitor to meet the qualification conditions for the round and any requests to be added to the list will be rejected.
  6. If the number of drivers will be above the limit of server capacity an additional entry list will be created and the second server will be deployed. The organizer reserves the right to increase the capacity limit on the server if the additional entry list does not exceed 10 items.

  • Overtaking during qualifying is only allowed if the driver ahead makes a mistake or is much slower. If the driver's pace is similar, and you catch up with him when cornering, it means that you have not enough space. Give it up and give yourself and him the opportunity to do a good qualify lap. Overtaking during qualifying, especially on the out lap, where the competitor in front leaves the space or hindering others from driving may result in a penalty in accordance with the penalty table.
