2016 Season Schedule and Series Details:
Hello and welcome to the CMS Open Wheel Racing Series! We will be using the rFactor 2 platform with the ISI DW12 Dallara Indycar and tracks used in the real Indycar series.

Before competing in the series, there are a few things you need to do:

1. You must visit the CMS Master car number selection thread and select your unique CMS car number.
2. You must visit the 2016 CMS Open Wheel Series signup thread and signup for the series.
3. You must visit the SLS system data base and register for the series.
4. You must visit (and read) the CMS League Wide General rules & regs thread.

all of these links are available on our forums at http://cmsracing.com

Required Downloads:
rFactor2 (PLATFORM) Server currently running build 1036
Since we are a Steam friendly league we will update as ISI releases builds unless there are problem that prevent us from using them
ISI Dallara DW12
CMS Open Wheel Series Mod<- New 12/15/15 must be used after this date.
GetMOD is enabled and working so downloading and install the mod file is unnecessary if you have installed/subscribed to the other content.

Skins
Skin transfer will be enable for this series, but if we start to have issues as we did in the past it will be disabled. Being such a short series I don't foresee many spending the time to create custom skins.

Optional Downloads
TeamSpeak Chat Client Highly recommended to enhance your CMS Racing experience
New improved CMS rF2 Spotter Plugin with CMS driver names! Current version "D" Highly recommended to greatly enhance your racing experience!

Weather:
rFactor2 provides us with an unique opportunity to employ the next level of realism...changing weather. However, we want to enhance the realism, not create chaos, therefore select events will be run in 100% dry conditions for the entirety of the race. With the exception of the "Dry Only" tracks, each track will feature a variety of weather conditions. In the future, we hope to offer real-time weather, but that capability is currently not yet enabled, therefore the weather will be scripted and promulgated in the drivers meeting, prior to the race.

Qualifying:
A fifteen minute, private qualifying session, with a maximum of six total laps. Your out lap and in lap count towards your total laps, so the maximum number of timed laps will be four.

Start Procedure:
For 2015, we will be continue to use a modified rolling start. This will include a one-lap, single file rolling formation lap controlled by the race leader. At each track, an area (typically the last corner or something close) will be designated as the spot to accelerate to racing speed, with passes not allowed until crossing the start/finish line. A per-track Orange Zone will also still be in effect. If you lose control on the formation lap, you MUST let all cars pass and rejoin at the end. The penalty for not doing this is no qualifying at your next event. If you cause an accident on the formation lap, you will be DQ'd from the race results, and will not be allowed to qualify at your next event.

Weather information for each track will be available in the event's Drivers Briefing.

Driver Briefings:
Driver briefings are posted prior to each event, and list Weather, Start, and Orange Zone details, and Track download links. ALWAYS download the track from the link provided above or in the driver briefing, as this will be the version loaded on the server. Driver briefings are REQUIRED reading, and it is recommended to check them just prior to a race for any last minute announcements.

Race Reviews and Penalties:
The race review team will review the start and OZ after each race, as well as review any incidents for which an incident protest was filed, and issue any penalties as appropriate. The results of these reviews will be posted no later than one week before the next event. All drivers are required to read the race review/penalty thread before the upcoming race so that they will be aware if they are required to serve any penalties. Any driver receiving a penalty will also be notified via PM. NOTE: Unless otherwise specified in the driver briefing for an event, the review team typically will only review the start and OZ for each event. Therefore if you experience an incident during an event that happens AFTER the OZ you will need to use our Incident Protest Form to file an official protest if you wish to have it reviewed.
