The North American Sim Racing League chapter at Race2Play is proud to announce the NASRL Vintage Historics Summer Session featuring the Power & Glory mod for GTR2.

Join us on select Sunday nights this summer at 9:30 eastern for four special events beginning June 29.

Race Format: Races will be 60 minutes long, or in some cases a fixed number of laps approximating 60 minutes. There are no pit requirements, but the races will run at 2x fuel, making a fuel stop necessary for most cars. A 10 minute qualifying session begins at 9:30, followed by a 5 minute warmup, then either a standing or rolling start depending on the track. Note: The July 20 event at Machwerk will be 75 minutes with no qualifying.

Backup Tracks: Each season, a few of the tracks in the schedule will be new tracks where we've never raced P&G before. If we have unexpected problems with the track during the week leading up to the race, we may substitute a backup track, which will be an original GTR2 layout (not an add-on track). Notice will be given in the chapter and pre-race forums if this happens. Familiarizing yourself with the backup track during your spare time may be to your advantage in the event it gets activated. Our current backup track is: Donington National.

Eligible Vehicles: This season we will race a different P&G carset at each event. Please see the Tracks & Schedule thread or event page to see which cars are in use for each event.

Rental Points: NASRL's S9 Summer Session will not be using the rental points system, all drivers are free to select from the available cars at each event.

Our usual rental points procedure is listed below for future reference. We are not using rental points for the summer session. NASRL P&G seasons feature a rental points system similar to the GT-Historics system in use here at R2P. Drivers start the season with 5 points. Each car costs a certain amount of points to "rent" for a race- that amount is deducted from the driver's total. Rental costs for each car are posted in the Rental Points thread. At the end of the race, each driver is awarded new rental points based on finishing position. 1st-3rd place gets one point, 4th-5th place gets two, 6th-7th gets 3, 8th-9th gets 4, and 10th place and below are all awarded five points. Rental points are cumulative for the season. You must make sure you have enough points to rent the car you bring to the line. Current rental points standings will also be maintained in the Rental Points thread.

Championship Scoring: Championship points will be awarded according to finishing order from 1st place to 15th as follows: 20-18-16-14-12-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. Note: NASRL's S9 Summer Session is non-points-paying, championship points will not be tracked for this session.

Membership: NASRL at R2P is an independent chapter. Our races will not be stewarded. Participation is by invitation only, and will be limited to 24 drivers per event. Please consider whether you will be able to commit to the majority of the events before asking to join up.

Membership is open to basic (free) NasaSimRacing/Race2Play members. NASRL encourages paid membership, most of us find the quantity of racing available and level of support to be well worth the monthly investment. Read more about R2P membership plans here: Membership Plans.

NASRL enjoys near 24/7 server time on an R2P server through race sponsorship. You can sponsor one or more races throughout the season for a very reasonable fee. Note: sponsorships are currently unavailable for NASRL's S9 Summer Session)

Rules & Etiquette: NASRL membership is all about clean and courteous racing- drivers are expected to be able to hold their own line, to value a clean close race well above winning at all costs, and to maintain a positive attitude about the inevitable racing incident when it happens.

It will be up to the drivers to request reviews of any racing incidents. Review requests can be sent privately to Michael Kolar. We don't expect to get a lot of review requests- we like to maintain a club atmosphere and encourage on-track behavior and attitudes that won't lead to reviews. A pattern of review-worthy incidents with any particular driver will call some question on whether that driver really belongs in this chapter.

This chapter will follow R2P rules and guidelines. The first lap punt rule is in effect; if you touch a car in front of you on the first lap, and the other driver spins or leaves the track, a drive-through penalty applies, and should be served immediately. During the rest of the race, the gentleman's practice of pulling over safely and waiting for a punted car is strongly encouraged.

Required Files: This series requires the Power & Glory mod V1.02, available here: GTL Workshop. We are using the v1.02 full install, AND the v1.02 fix, which is a separate download.

You must install the P&G Terrain Patch (it comes with the mod). This patch does alter default files and will cause mismatches on regular servers. We highly recommend a second installation of GTR2 for this addon.

Required track download links are maintained in this thread: Tracks & Schedule

Replays: Server replays can be downloaded here: R2P Files Area. Thanks to R2P for hosting our replays!

Contact: Contact chapter owner Michael Kolar with any questions, or to request an invitation.

Thanks for stopping by, now let's go racing!
