A bi-weekly semi public series featuring the Ferrari 458 Italia! This series will be on a public server to give those interested a chance of racing with us before becoming a member. Beware that you cannot join the server after qualifying has finished!
Only track DLC (Red Pack) required, as the car is part of the base game. All cars feature the same custom setup, which is locked by default on the server.
Skin/liveries
Skins will be provided by the series host. Since it's a semi public series, skins cannot be reserved on the server. Download link will be up soon!
(Possible practice depending on the staff member hosting the event)
20 minutes qualifying
Heat 1: approx 20 minutes, in laps, announced in race thread
Heat 2: approx 20 minutes, in laps, announced in race thread
The fixed setup includes limited fuel, meaning you will have to pit once for fuel. The amount of fuel will be limited in a way that allows for earlier or late pitting. A tire change is not necessary.
Grid orders
Heat 1: qualifying result
Heat 2: heat 1 result, top eight reverse*
*reverse grid (based on previous heat result) for heat 2 always for top eight from previous heat
The server will not be restarted for this series, as qualifying and both race heats will run on the same server. Stay in the server after qualifying, as connecting after heat 1 starts isn't possible (to avoid having public people joining and possibly ruining races).
Like previous series, the track will be drawn from a list of three at race time. The race thread includes a list of the three tracks that are up for a draw that week. Tracks will not feature more than once in a series. There will be no practice server, hence the longer qualifying session.

Beware that our rule is to keep two wheels within white lines, where Kunos also includes the kerbs as track limits
Track temperatures vary during qualifying and race. This variation is random with minimum and maximum amounts set. The minimum and maximum variations are not changed, but the track surface temperature during qualifying and races are higher (more realistic).
The weather type is set to closely reflect the weather of that day at that track. Base temperatures (and their variations) are the same throughout the series. Please turn off your car lights in cloudy or foggy conditions. It makes estimating the braking point of the car ahead easier and can prevent accidents.
There will be an overall and divisional championship.
For every race heat:
50 for first place
49 for second place
48 for third place
47 for fourth
46 for fifth
45 for sixth
...down with increments of 1 point
DNF (did not finish) equals last place in order of dropping out
DNS (did not start) equals zero points
Week result is sum of all racing heats
Best four week results count to overall standings
Divisional championship is based on points scored in overall championship, so not just relative to drivers within that division.
There will be divisional championships in these three divisions:

The list above, although subjective, is non-debatable. If you're somehow not on the list, but have made at least two races in a series before, please PM me. Even if you're not on the list and/or haven't done any racing with us before, you're of course allowed to participate in this series.
Although clean, respectful and fair racing is our ethos, accidents can happen especially in close racing. Whenever you're involved in an accident and feel aggrieved, do not make any public claims, assumptions or accusations on the forum.
Before reporting it to the staff, first watch the replay yourself (request it for download by PM to me). If you still think you were the victim of actions that do not comply with our guidelines, send a PM to the series staff detailing your case.
If you do not report it, it will likely go unnoticed as I do not check replays for incidents unless I have any indication of uncosy behaviour. Thus, it's your responsibility to report uncosy track behaviour.
Short overview of our guidelines:
- return position when your fault causes someone to leave the track, spin or lose a position
- return position, return to track, carry out slow down penalties only when safe
- safety is the most important part of the first corners; keep battles and overtakes to a minimum
- respect the blue flag: allow lapping traffic an effortless pass that doesn't slow them down
- respect during qualifying; when on your first lap, give lapping cars an effortless pass that doesn't slow them down
- keep two wheels within white lines as much as possible
- no blatant swerving or blocking; only switch lines once and allow space for others who are aside you before braking
- no dive bombing; do not dive on the inside of cars braking earlier than you while not already aside
- watch a replay from multiple angles before judging an incident
First time racing with us in a series? (members only)
1) sign up every week in the weekly race thread with an In, Maybe or Out. You can join a series any time and don't have to make all the races. Only those who posted on time in the race thread are added to the entry list.
2) please make sure you add your name to the Crew Chief (Assetto app) name list http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-304.html
3) Discord is now mandatory to participate in our events, joining our voice channel is recommended (a mic is not mandatory). More on Discord and download: http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-362.html
4) 15 to 10 minutes before qualifying, I will post a message on Discord saying the server is live (search "cosy" in the server list). It's then in practice mode until qualifying starts. Between heats the server will be restarted, I'll again post on Discord when the server is live; from there you have two minutes to connect
5) Make sure to read before asking questions; the rules, races threads and other series' threads are often written so they includes (almost) anything you need to know.
