Briefing

Start procedure:
BOTH Divisions: You start from pitwall (ear of corn) only move when the previous car has moved. Leader on LEFT side (this means 2-4-6-8-10-12 goes on right side, 1-3-5-7-9-11-13 etc goes to left side). Bunch up - 150 km/h until you exit Porsche curves (t27) slowly go down to pitlimiter speed and enable pitlimiter when you go onto the small straight before Ford Chicane (exiting T29). You must not go any faster than pitlimit speed until the game calls GREEN FLAG.
Cut track rules: Strict
Exception to 10.1.2: Number of cuts allowed per hour is 3 (total of 72)
Penalties from last race will be merged: 1 DT means 1 DT, 2 DT means one stop and hold 30, 3 DT will give you a 60 seconds stop and hold.

Pitlane
index.php

Note: pitboxes are side by side - the above image is slightly off
When pitting you need to be aware that cars will be pitting in both MIDDLE and RIGHT line on the picture above.
This means you need to stay on the LEFT lane as long as possible and then merge into MIDDLE/RIGHT lane when you are pitting.
There is plenty of space in between.
GT3 cars have been assigned the even numbers (2-4-6 etc) and prototypes uneven numbers (1-3-5 etc). However there are more prototypes than GT3´s this means that the last 4-6 spots are LMP2´s in both divisions.
See rules please
Rules said:
8.6 Drivers are not allowed to pass between pitting cars and the garages.
8.6.1 The only time a driver is allowed to pass between a car and the garages is when the track requires double stacking of the pitboxes, and their box is the inside stall, between the outside stall and the garages and only if there is option to not go outside the car. The driver must safely rejoin the pit lane road.

Superpole, i decided that private qual is the way to go - we have had too many people reporting to many issues in qualifying.
But 15 minutes might be a tad to little time on Le Mans, though you should be able to get a few laps in. However i´ll up it to 30, then there is some laps to do.

OK. Sorry, I need clarifications.
- on June 7th, there is a 30 minutes qualification session that is for Superpole ONLY, and qual is still ON on May 31st
or
- on June 7th, there is a 30 minutes qualification session that will be qualification, and there is nothing on May 31st ?

Qual will only be on raceday
 
I had a random disconnect from server around 21h00-21H05. With 2 consecutive "connection lost" messages in the chat.
Maybe nothing too concerning but since @Ivo de Groot asked if anyone got DC a bit before I'd rather mention it.
