A team may be two or three drivers, each driving a different car but same livery. Only the top two drivers will score team points. Teams are frozen when the Sign-up period has closed, or when a driver runs his first race.
QUALIFYINGPlease be online and ready to race on time. All drivers will get an invite from their room host.
If you do not receive an invite by 10 minutes past the hour, please inform the Series Organizer.Qualifying will take place at 15 minutes past the hour, and will have five (5) flying laps to set your best certified lap. Please space out on the opening lap to give each other room so all can have clear, unimpeded qualifying laps. Any driver that lags out or leaves the session will have their best time used as displayed by the results screen. No driver is to drive backwards around the track.
Please note: Qualifying will occur prior to Race 1 only, 15 SEP 2019. Race 2 through Race 8 starting grid will be by previous race's finishing position in reverse order. Anyone signing up after completion of Race 1 will start at the back of the grid according to sign up order.
CERTIFICATIONEach driver must have a certified lap achieved on their first lap. A slow cautionary lap must be carried out by every driver, staying on the track and away from the grass, curbs and walls. If your lap becomes uncertified, you will have to sacrifice another lap to achieve this very simple task, so go slow and be careful. All uncertified times will be placed behind certified times in order of fastest to slowest

-- Should it become necessary to pit outside of the specified pit window, it does not count as the official pit stop
-- In a night race, if both headlights become damaged, a pit stop is required; not stopping results in a penalty

CONNECTION CONFLICTSIf you cannot connect to your race room, you will receive last placed points for your qualifying room upon completing the Connection Conflict procedure stated below. This will be for the first two conflicts only, upon which you will then only receive overall last placed points.
LIVERYThere are three required vinyls for this series:
- The EZT Motorsport Sunday Night Series 3 number plate
- The EZT Motorsport logo
- The EZT Motorsport URL
These vinyls should be on top of a livery of your choosing. However, it should be tactful and race themed. You should only change the vinyl shape of the numbers to that of your own car number—
font and color do not change. Locations of the number plates and number do not change. Again, this template must appear on top of your design.
Teams must run the same livery, although differences such as displaying gamertags and nationality flags are permitted. If there is more than one team from a club, then you may run the same design but have different base paints or colors to show the difference. If desired, drivers within the same team may use different color side-view mirrors.
STRICTLY PROHIBITED LIVERY DESIGNS:- Illicit drug sponsorship / depiction
- Explicit / offensive designs
- Tinted windows
ADDITIONAL INFONOTE: ***** Sign up period ends two hours before race night begins *****All eight race results will count towards the final standings. There is no dropped round.
You are required to have a microphone plugged in during the race meeting, otherwise how can we communicate?
It is recommended you save Replays. This may help rectify disputes.
You cannot cut corners. Racing is done on the track only. Anyone caught cutting will face anything from a time penalty, grid penalty or DQ.
CONNECTIONSYour connection is YOUR responsibility. You must ensure it is the best it can be. This includes :
- turning off all other equipment using the internet during a race
- being wired instead of wireless when possible
=== when wireless, making the signal strength the best it can be as denoted by the dashboard
- finally as a last resort, resetting all equipment
It is highly recommended to get your NAT to appear OPEN (found on your dashboard). If you cannot connect properly on race day, then it will not be delayed. Conflictions with other racers preventing access to rooms will need to be sorted by those in question, and those 1 or 2 racers will need to sort their problems, or they will not be allowed to race. The person with the better qualifying will be allowed to race, as long as he does not conflict with others. It is strongly recommended to get online 30 mins before race time to work out any connection problems.
Conflict on Race NightIf there is a conflict for your race room, you must find out who the conflict is with:
a) Room Host invites all his drivers to the lobby
b) Driver who can't get in then opens a lobby (correct settings)
c) He invites everyone in
d) Whoever can't get in is where the conflict is
e) From these two drivers, the one with the better qualifying or previous race finishing position will be allowed to race
This process should not take longer than five minutes.
TEAM OFFICIALSIf you have any questions or queries regarding any aspect of the series, get in contact with the Series Organiser. Either send a PM on the forum or send an XBL message. Be sure to add the organizer to your Friends List, also!

FINALLY...Communication is key! Chances should not be taken that will risk other drivers. Nobody's race should be ruined by someone else's mistake.
