VINTAGE
F1 1970 SERIES
LEAGUE RULES & REGULATIONS
After a difficult first year for Lotus in the three-litre formula, Chapman went back to the drawing board and came up with a design that was both back to basics, and forward-thinking. Taking inspiration from earlier designs, particularly the Lotus 43 and Lotus 38 Indycar, the 49 was the first F1 car to be powered by the Ford Cosworth DFV engine, after Chapman convinced Ford to build an F1 power-plant.
The 49 was an advanced design in Formula 1 because of its chassis configuration. The specially-designed engine became a stress-bearing structural member (seen earlier with the H16 engine in the Lotus 43 and BRM P83, and prior to that in the front-engined Lancia D50 of 1954),[4] bolted to the monocoque at one end and the suspension and gearbox at the other. Since then, virtually all Formula 1 cars have been built this way.
The 49 was a testbed for several new pieces of racecar technology and presentation. Lotus was the first team to use aerofoil wings, which were introduced at the 1968 Monaco Grand Prix. Originally these wings were bolted directly to the suspension and were supported by slender struts. The wings were mounted several feet above the chassis of the car for effective use in clean air, however after several breakages which led to dangerous accidents, the high wings were banned and Lotus was forced to mount the wings directly to the bodywork.

SPECIAL RULES
-VINTAGE TYRE
You must select the Vintage tyre in your setup and only the vintage tyre. It was all that was available in 1970
-NO PIT LANE SPEED LIMIT
Pit limiters & Pit Lane Speed Limits didn't exist in 1970 so you need not worry about them.
-BLOCKING/OVERTAKING
You may make as many blocking attempts as you would like. Please be respectful when wheel to wheel racing.
-RETIRING
If you have to retire your car and can't make it back to the pits, you must pull off to the side of the track and shut your engine off. The only exception is if you're completely stuck and blocking the raceway, then you must retire to the paddock.
-TRACK & PIT LIMITS
Turned off because of the above rules but they will still be enforced through trust and stewardship with time penalties. We review the races but can't catch everything.
-RACE RESTARTS
If there is a major accident involving multiple vehicles near the start of the race, the race will be restarted.
Depending on the circuit, 1 lap will be added and we will do a formation lap to reform the grid and do a manual standing start if possible. Otherwise the leader will call the start of the race on the first major straight once the grid is reformed.

-CONNECTIONS
If multiple people have connection issues (i.e. disconnects or can't connect), the race may be restarted with the remaining amount of laps when the connection is good, or postponed until the following week, depending on circumstances and what everyone agrees upon.

It's not good for one to have lag and such, but when it really affects the others it is less than desirable.
If anyone is trying to test or determine what to do for better web performance you need the real data first. This site has a great set of tools that can provide that data. The Speed Test is an overall check, and the Line Quality Test will show you How much delay and hops you make to get to your server.
