Rule changes

The new rules of the 2007 season included the implementation of standing starts at venues where they can be safely implemented. Additionally, all events will be timed events instead of running a set number of laps. As the time limit approaches, the drivers will be notified that they are beginning the last lap. The leader will NOT be shown the white flag, which will now be employed in a similar manner to its use by the FIA. Teams will also be allowed unlimited access to their tires during all qualifying sessions. The requirement for each team to use at least one set of the alternate Bridgestone Potenzas during the race will remain in place.

From this season onwards drivers no longer receive a bonus point for leading a lap of the race.

I get this from wiki, as of 2006 rules I'm not sure.

6.21. STARTING THE RACE.
6.21.1. Rolling Start.
6.21.1A. The responsibility for a proper race start rests solely with the
drivers. The pole sitter shall maintain a steady speed as it approaches the
start line. Drivers are to respect the position of the other drivers around
them and remain in two columns until the green flag has been displayed.
Penalties may be assessed to any driver who jumps the start or pulls out of
line. The decision of the Officials as to whether a driver improperly
advanced positions prior to the display of the green flag at the start of the
race is not subject to protest or appeal.
6.21.1B. Timing. The timing of the race shall commence the instant the
timing transponder of any race car reaches the starting line at the
completion of the prescribed parade and pace laps upon display of either a
green or yellow flag from the starter's stand.
6.21.1C. If a yellow flag is displayed to signal the start of the competition,
the field shall remain in pace lap order with the race cars remaining in their
assigned rows until such time as a green flag is displayed. Upon display of
the green flag, the start will be per 6.21.1.
6.21.1D. Once the command to start engines has been given, fuel may not
be added to any race car until the race car has taken the green flag on the
race track. A competitor may be penalized if the Officials determine that
the competitor has taken any action so as to gain an advantage prior to the
start of the race.
6.21.2 Standing Start.
6.21.2A. Countdown.
• A “drivers to your cars” command will be given via radio from Race
Control.
• A “drivers in your cars” command will be given via radio from Race
Control.
• A three minute board will be displayed at the front of the pre-grid
and all personnel will leave the pre-grid with the exception of up to
three (3) crew members with each race car.
• A one minute board will be displayed, along with the “drivers start
your engines” command. All personnel must then completely clear
the pre-grid.
• At the appropriate time the pace car will roll and the drivers will
follow in single file, starting order.
6.21.2B. Parade Laps.
• During the parade laps drivers will keep in starting order with no
overtaking and the speed will be set by the pace car. Falling back to
accelerate and undertake practice starts is prohibited.
• If a car was unable to leave the pre-grid with the rest of the field it
will be allowed to trail the field and resume its original starting
position if time permits prior to the pole sitter beginning the second
lap.
6.21.2C. Grid.
• At the end of the parade laps, the pace car will enter the pits and
the field will take their starting positions. The front wheels of the car
must remain behind the grid line.
• All personnel are strictly prohibited from the grid.
• A 15 second board will be shown from the starters stand once all
cars are in position (which indicates 15 seconds until the light
sequence begins).
• The red lights will illuminate one by one.
• The race starts once all red lights go out (not less than half a
second, but no more than three seconds).
• A false start shall be declared when the race car moves forward
from its prescribed position before the lights go out.
• A penalty will be imposed for a false start judged by the Officials.
Decisions by the Officials are not subject to protest or appeal.
6.21.2D. Aborted Start. If the start is aborted the yellow lights will illuminate.
Instructions will be given to teams via the radio. The standing start
procedure may be abandoned and the pace car will be dispatched.
22
6.21.2E. Rolling Start. In the event a rolling start is required, all provisions of
6.21.1A. and 6.21.1C. are in effect.
6.21.2F. Wet Race Start. When conditions warrant, the Race Director may
declare the race a “wet start”. If a wet start is declared, all competitors must
start on wet tires.
6.21.2G. Timing. The timing of the race shall commence the instant the
timing transponder of any race car reaches the start/finish line after leaving
their starting positions on the race track.

Yeah but once you learn it

Load AI for the first few laps and finding your way around central pit.
If you race alone, choose Festival

This track is great, only one killer wall, the rest is very wide open.

Please everyone download at least Champcar Track Cleveland for tomorrow. idtcleveland1.6.rar

totally agree with you bro. i strongly believe that at least we have 1 champcar track to test on, for the upcoming season. cleveland from idt would be great for off-season testing due to it superwide! (can push ur car to the max!!!) really! it is gigantically wide. i believe it is a part of an airfield right? anyway to the rest of MSRian. due dload this track for our next testing session

Yes, it's an airfield, 50 some second laps, fast and totally flat track, short laps but wide open, perfect for learning the car, can even afford spinning a lot without damaging and avoid always restarting from pit, lots of fun here practicing "saving the car" after losing it completely for a second or two.

im struggling with Champcar - wait i struggled with last season M3 and the one before and.. lol

May not be able to compete fully this coming season - expecting to be really tight come end of June - i hope there is a spare car i can use. The cars should be allocated to those who can commit to a full season.

any chance we go back racing on Sunday? maybe not

Yup i want racing on sunday

hmmm racing on sunday really sounds nice......i should have less bandwith problem during those time perhaps
