Hey guys! Welcome to the Simkhana Initial Test Session! A small idea that's grown into something way bigger than was initially thought and now we bring it to YOU! A massive thanks to Oli Dimelow from Monster Energy for helping get this idea off the ground!  Another massive thank you to Hecrer and Seejy who have written the amazing Assetto Corsa Server Manager that’s allowing us to switch drivers and lanes. Without this piece, none of this would be possible with the Standard Assetto Corsa. Thank you for the help and effort put into this!

This test session is mainly to see how our servers work with the custom race setup that is unique to this format of mirror circuit racing. We ask you to please give any feedback / suggestions that you feel may help us in building this into a better series. Other important things we are looking out for in the testing is the time between heats and the time that players would wait for their heats to start. As in Gymkhana GRID, there are two racers at a time with the worst-case scenario of two minutes per lane. This could mean six to eight minutes per two heat races.  An idea of a second practice track is being checked. Also, the idea of multiple servers of 8 drivers each is an option. Some manual inputs are needed so with practice, we are hoping to speed up the process and streamline this series and get guys racing and having some fun!

Due to us having to bend standard racing rules in Assetto Corsa, it means that we've had to adopt some gentlemen rules with this series. Please refer to below. We hope this Simkhana Experience is Enjoyable to a We also THANK YOU for all the support and encouragement we've received thus far! 

RULES BASED ON THE GYMKHANA GRID FORMAT: http://gymkhanagrid.com/rules#CompetitionFormat

1.      **PLEASE** If you are not loaded in one of the two race lanes. Please do not drive into the race area.
Grid Slots 1 and 2 are used for the race heats but all drivers will be loaded into the race and see the start lights etc. We are testing this method vs having drivers in multiple groups of two - allowing us to switch the positions and swop lanes for the second heat.  You may practice in the practice area while the 2 competitors are doing their run BUT PLEASE stay away from the lane exits for the drivers exiting their runs. We do encourage watching the camera views to see other drivers and monitor for penalties. There will be messages to drivers before their runs, this needs to be tested so bear with us. Also please don't let it turn into a destruction derby and have everyone crashing the message board with bitchy remarks! We will ban drivers unfortunately if needed

2.      We are adding penalties for wall collisions of 2 seconds per collision/missing the beacons
Collisions are tracked by the game and manually added to overall run time after the heat / we are also going to need marshals on days to help track the missing of the beacons which are 2 second per beacon, if missed - if guys are willing to help on the race days, it would be appreciated. We are building a team for the event days to help with all the admin (They just cost money lol). We have a 3D team trying to get the swinging balls to work but the physics in AC might not allow for it so, the beacons might get more creative then.

3. Incorrect route / 360 SPIN = automatic DNF 
   (PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE OVER THE FINISH LINE - PLEASE RATHER ESCAPE TO PITS)
   Another area where we might need some assistance on race days and gentlemen code is to monitor the following. If the track is incorrectly done or you do a 360 Spin, the driver is disqualified for that heat. Unfortunately, there is no way for us to invalidate laps if you exit the race in a short time. If you crash or mess up and drive over the finish line, the fastest lap will be then be set to that short time. Rule of thumb:
   ** IF YOU HAVE A DNF - PLEASE PUSH ESCAPE and exit the race back to pits**
   ** IF YOU ARENT HAPPY WITH THE LAP – RATHER PUSH ESCAPE **
   
   
4. HOW THE SERIES WORKS WHEN THE BUGS ARE GONE? THE MAIN GENTLEMEN RULE TO FOLLOW
   If anyone has ideas or suggestions here, we welcome them. As we have it, we are planning to run an open qualifier for a few weeks. However, there is no way to make sure of beacon collision automatically so it will be tough to monitor a clean lap on these open servers for qualifying. An idea is to qualify, then submit a replay of the lap to be verified against the time on the server. We are not sure how many sim races will get on board so the worry of guys cutting those sections for a good lap time is a possibility to get in. Any ideas on this would be great! From there the TOP 16 RWD + TOP 16 AWD Racers will be put into the first Simkhana Season!
   
   For the main event days, there will be people watching to make sure the correct penalties happen. We encourage FAIR Racing. It is only making your memory of the track incorrect if you don't attempt to connect with the beacons! The 3D development team is looking at ways to automate this, for now it is one of the trickier things for us admin to Monitor.
   
   The race format on event days after TOP 16 (AWD / RWD) qualifying will be as follows:
   First Stage. In the first stage of the Competition each Competitor will complete two (2) seeding sessions based on overall time of the left and right lanes.
   Second Stage. The First Stage Winners will then compete in elimination rounds. Competitors will be paired in accordance with the Knockout Format. Each pair of Competitors will then compete in a head to head race on each of the Circuits till we have a tournament winner. Points for top 16 then will count towards the overall 6-month championship. Again, we need to test timing of race days. Perhaps a round robin for more racing of other competitors is then possible. Please give us any feedback!
   
   
   
5. PRACTICE - LEARN THE TRACK - HAVE FUN

Above is the track layout for both lanes of the 2019 Track. For now, we only have the Gymkhana 2019 Track Layout Created but will be working on a few other memorable versions of the series. The plan being to every month change over to one of the other track layouts. The 3D team is polishing this version up so it is getting a full overall of models, textures and soon Weather / Night Time Integration for a chance of a wet race in the rain!

We are also building a Website under the name SimRigRacing.com plus building social channels that go with an e-sports event. Look out for some interesting partnerships for all your Sim Racing Gear Needs!
