Porsche Pack 2 required to race (covers all cars).
Ballast, Restrictors & Balance
Ballast and restrictors are determined based on the overall balance between cars over the entire calendar; some cars outperform on certain tracks to be slower on others. Ballast and restrictors are designed to stay the same throughout a series, but may be subject of change when car(s) prove to be dominant. Setups might be adjusted for further balance.
When a car is not included in the above list, it is because it's way too fast, too slow or because of other criteria (weight, powertrain, etc). To avoid not being able to select your car during practice a series won't feature more than five cars.
Skin/liveries
Every car is required to have a racing themed skin/livery. Skins may not feature:
- alcohol or tobacco related sponsors
- names, url's or logo's from competing race leagues or groups
- other sponsors that can be seen as offensive and/or can cause problems in promotion of this community
Driver number plates, crew boards and license plates on the car are provided by the series host. The driver numbers have to be placed on the (front) doors below the mirrors. Please place them in the size provided (100% scale).

Before every racing heat the server will be restarted, this takes a few minutes due to assigning the entry list (starting order). It's recommended to wait for my Discord text and/or voice message to rejoin without issues.

Points
There will be an overall and team championship. Best five week results count to overall standings. Titles will be awarded to the best driver in each division.
For teams the best ten scores of a team will count. Teams can consist of:
- one Pro driver and one Am driver; best five results from every driver count
- two Pro-am drivers; best five results from every driver count
- one from each division; best three results count from Pro and Am drivers, best four from Pro-am driver
For every race heat
50 for first place
48 for second place
46 for third place
44 for fourth
42 for fifth
40 for sixth
39 for seventh
...down with increments of 1 point
The point system has changed since previous series to suit the new team rules.
A driver has to finish at least 70% of the race distance (rounded upwards) in laps compared to the race winner in order to score points
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 five week results count to overall standings
Teams
Maximum of 3 drivers per team, minimum of two drivers per team. All team members have to drive the same car, which has to be instantly recognisable as being a team car; cars of team members may differ in secondary or third color.
You can replace one driver during the series once, but have to announce it before the race where you're going to use the new driver (scores of the replaced driver will still count up until that point).
(NEW THIS SEASON) You can permanently drop a driver during the series; this slot cannot be taken by a different driver and all previous results for the team of the dropped driver do no longer count. This is an advantage whenever a Pro-am driver does not deliver the expected minimum amount of races. (NEW THIS SEASON)
You can also use multiple drivers for one slot. This is useful when there's multiple drivers who are not sure if they can make enough races. Only one driver from a shared slot can score points for a team in that race. Teams have to post ahead of the race which driver(s) is/are eligible for team points when there are multiple drivers from a single slot running in that race.
Teams can consist of:
- one Pro driver and one Am driver; best five results from every driver count
- one Pro driver and one Pro-am driver; best five results from Pro-am count, best 4 and half of the fifth best result count from Pro
- two Pro-am drivers; best five results from every driver count
- one from each division; best three results count from Pro and Am drivers, best four from Pro-am driver

The list above, although subjective, is non-debatable. Only drivers participating in any of the past three Sunday Series, or recently active, have been ranked above.
If you're 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 and a division will be assigned soon.
Incidents
Although clean 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 or on Discord.
Try to contact the driver(s) involved first to see what they think of a situation before reporting it to staff. If you can work it out yourselves that's preferred.
In case of reporting it to the staff, first watch the replay yourself from all drivers' involved views (request for download by PM to me if you don't have it). 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 to victim 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 you are not already aside
First Time?
First time racing with us in a series?
1) make sure you've posted your car choice in http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-826.html
2) 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.
3) please make sure you add your name to the Crew Chief (Assetto app) name list http://cosyracingcommunity.com/thread-304.html
4) Discord is 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
5) 15 to 10 minutes before qualifying, I will post a message on Discord saying the server is live (search "cosy" in the server list, no password required since it's a locked entry list based on your Steam ID). 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
6) 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
