Racing Rules
Event Schedule
1. All events start at 7.00pm Sydney Time. GMT+ 10 (or GMT+ 11 in daylight savings time). The hosting server will be online from 5.30pm on the day of the event.
2. Practice sessions are 60 min in length.
3. Qualifying sessions are 10 min in length.
4. Race distance will be set at 80%.
Driving Standards
5. Race starts and roll up laps are to be done in formation with no brake checking or weaving. Races will not be restarted for any reason other than a server failure.
6. Race starts are controlled by the track/server. Please practice a few starts offline so that you know the procedure and please take it easy in turn 1.
Note: Races are never won on lap 1 but plenty are lost on lap 1.
7. Minimum of 2 wheels must remain on the track at all times as designated by the solid white lines bordering the track. Consistent track cutting will result in DQ from the event. If you accidently cut the track to hold or gain a position, the other vehicle must be allowed past. If you cut the track during Qualifying, please slow down enough as to not set your best time.
8. Please give your fellow competitors racing room. If they are on the inside, don't turn in on them. If you are on the inside, do not drive your competitor off the track on the exit. Time penalties may be applied after the event completion.
9. There is no blocking allowed during the races.
10. It is always the responsibility of the passing driver to make the pass cleanly. If you make contact and cause a competitor to go off-track a DQ or time penalty may be applied after the event. Repeat offenders may receive a race ban for 1 event.
11. There is to be no blocking during qualifying for any reason. Remember, Qualifying is to set your fastest lap. Blocking or trying to race someone serves no purpose here.
12. Lairing or hoon behaviour, including but not limited to purposely crashing, doughnuts on the infield, brake checks, etc. , will not be tolerated and may result in a warning via chat window. If the behaviour continues, the perpitrator will be booted from the server and banned.
Series Points
13. Races will have points awarded for pre-final and final races.The points structure is:
1st = 10 points
2nd = 8 points
3rd = 6 points
4th = 5 points
5th = 4 points
6th = 3 points
7th = 2 points
8th = 1 point
Note:- Finals are double points.
Protests & Post Race Review
14. Races will be reviewed once protests are received and penalties may be applied. Penalties may include time penalties, rear of grid penalties, disqualifications, series points penalties and race bans. All decisions and penalties are final.
I'll kick things off.

Your welcome to join us if you can but the times won't be changed. Also, if you have a high ping rate and it's causing issues for other drivers, you'll be booted from the server. Sorry but there's nothing worse than a morphing kart to ruin your race.

Maybe I can at one or two races!!! :D

PS. Might want to check the times again though. The racing starts Wednesday night 7.30 out time which by my calculations would be 9.00am Wednesday German time. I am probably wrong though. :D

Hi all, I will be using the Maranello 2011 Bianco Tribal Skin for this series. You can download from this link:

I will also be using a custom helmet paint, but I will upload that in a couple of days time.

Will the server be found as normal in the in-game "world" server list?? THis is new to me, and I keep seeming to get hangs whilst connecting after the screen says "Connected" and the only option given is to click "Close" which aborts back to the server list rather than progress to the online race pits...? Does anyone have any ideas that could help?
I have managed to join an online race about twice, but mostly it just sits there for ever and ever - like 40mins even... if i press escape or click the close it just kicks me back to the server list.. help please.
Thanks,
Daniel
Welcome Daniel,
The server will be named 'Aust/NZ Championship' and will be online from 5.30 on race night. I find that with most tracks that you can get a delay of a bout 30 secs but if it takes longer, it usually won't connect. I've had issues when the server was on linux/WINE platform but til I can get that sorted better, we'll be running on a windows machine.
Try and connect before early and I can iron out any issues that may arise.
Tip: If you don't see a ping value in the right column of the server, you'll usually get a timeout
1 night left :o
Hi all :) keen as for some racing tonight. Here is the link to the helmet skin that I will be using
http://www.mediafire.com/?i4cu1i9dccbcpip
Hopefully you will all get it and the kart skin I linked a bit back. Hope to see you all out on track tonight!
Tim
Rules and calendar have been updated. Please go through them but nothing too outstanding. Half the calendar is still unconfirmed in the hope that Beta 6 will be available in time but if not, we'll re-use the tracks that are known to work.
can everyone check the performance of Xplex and Amsterdam outdoor as there are framerate issues with these tracks. They are an annoyance mainly on my computer but want to make sure everyone can use them.
Thanks and see you on track

Actually I'm from Germany! But I stay in Canada right now (student exchange). That's so hard for me, 6 month with now Karting!
But I have "Kart Racing Pro", that's my resort ( THX so much ;) )
So is it possible that I could drive the race on the Goldenport track with you?

No worries Phillip,
The more the merrier. I will include you in the racemail list. Please confirm that the times will suit. It is time in Sydney Australia which at the moment is GMT +11 if I remember right.
See you on track

It's been the three of us at all the events so far and had 4 at round 1. It's still been fun with Arrow and Mit battling for the win and me just trying to keep it on track. I find it good practice for my real racing and have made big gains in time by adjusting my steering and pedals linear rates but I'm still a second off the front. Watch out though, I'm catching up :). Will be great to have more numbers but it's still very much an emerging sim and league.
Have started basic designs for the website and so far, it's looking OK (if I say so myself). Will work on a logo and some branding in the coming days but have other pressing personal matters coming up :(.
so im in

Welcome aboard. Look forward to trying to keep up with you
Bought the domain for the new league website today. Realism-Racing is born and I have some logo ideas but any submissions/ideas will be welcome :D. Website preview is still a bit off yet though. Too much to do

Sorry for the late sign up. Only been able to purchase KRP in the last week. :) Cant wait.
Calendar updated. We have a run of 3 weeks in a row then a rest couple of weeks :).
Please read and understand the racing rules. There is still people weaving and changing speed erratically on the roll up lap. It makes things more difficult than they need to be so it needs to stop ASAP. Also, if you make contact with another driver which sees them spin off the track, please re-address the situation by stopping and allowing them to re-take position.
There's been a few incidents in the last 2 rounds which weren't real flash. This includes one passing effort by me which was very ordinary ::)

Hey, just a idea, but if we can get someone to build some Australian and New Zealand tracks, then we can race on them, because it is called Australian/New Zealand Championship. Just saying it would be better to race on Australian and New Zealand tracks :)
I am planning to do Kembla but to purchase the software (ie. Bob's Track Builder) costs money and it takes a lot of time and effort to do. Once the track is done in BTB, then it needs to be worked on in 3DSMax (Approx $3,000.00 +) and a very complex piece of software it is. I will purchase BTB and attempt to create a quality track and hopefully a kind soul will be able to do the 3DSMax work for me.
I currently have one application to finish writing, an aging father to look after, a league website to create and a business to work on. As you can see, I have far too much on my plate in the near future so it'll be about 6-12 months before I can do anything.
If Kembla comes out OK, I also plan to make Butterfly Farm, Newcastle, Manning valley and Canberra.
Ok that's cool, yea kemble is awesome, looking forward to it :)
i will run number 97 , 90 , 91 or 92 haha which one can i run

As long as no-one else has the number already, you can run whatever you like :D. I think Phillip has 91 already
See yo on track
Jamie
Jap...;)
If you do build all those tracks and that they come out ok, could you please build Sapphire Coast Kart Club, it would mean alot to me, Thanks

Will have to get the first one done and that will be a while off. It will be very difficult to build a track I haven't driven on too. I have no idea of grip level, where the bumps are, what the ripple strips are like, and so on. There's more to a track than just the layout.
I have done thousands of laps around Kembla and it's a small track too, hence why it's the starting point. Butterfly farm is next and then I'll look at the others. I've done a few laps of Eastern Creek too but not on all the layouts.
I will keep it in mind though
Thanks its my home track and i could maybe try and give you some information on stuff, but it might be hard, Thanks anyway.

We've past the mid-point in the season have transitioned into dynamic surfaces with good success. I have gone through all the results and here's the points thus far
1. Mitdawg48 - 118
2. Lostcause001 - 110 (only because I've done all rounds)
3. StraightXed - 76
4. ArrowJmax4 - 70
5. Sambo72 - 35
6. Intrepid_69 - 18
We have now go thte potential to have races with 8 of us on the server which would be great fun but for one reason or another, it hasn't happened yet. I hope to have the full compliment of drivers at least once this season.
The website is coming along slowly (Have more pressing matters at the moment) and a preview will be available in about mid June. The plan so far is to hold races for KartRacing Pro on Wednesday nights, NetKa- Pro on Sunday nights and a yet to be determined 3rd sim on Monday nights. Thinking it will be either Race07 or rFactor at this stage but trying to avoid paid software. Want to have the 3rd series based around a free sim for newcommers but cannot find one with dedicated server at this stage. Race07 is available very cheap at the moment so it's leading the charge.
Thanks and I hope to see more of you on track soon
Jamie
Calendar is update so please check it out.

ok,cool, i just looked at ur calender and all i have to download is villarcio(??) because i have Towoomba already.
see u then!!!! ;)
Welcome aboard. Villarcayo should be good. Will be a wet track and dry weather which means the timing to change to slicks will be interesting. I am trying to setup the weather to make it a 50/50 call for the pre-final to spice things up a little :D.
