Introduction

Welcome to PCA Sim Racing Series 10!

Based on inputs from past participant surveys the Steering Committee has made some changes to the Series to make them more exciting and engaging for participants.

It is the obligation and responsibility of all PCA Sim Racing members to read, understand, and abide by the iRacing Official Sporting Code, the recently revised PCA Sim Racing Competition Rules, and the Series 10 supplementary rules presented on this page.

Championship Points

There will be two drop events in Series 10.  Series 10 points are based on the best 6 of 8 events.

Car(s)

Series 10 will use multiple cars for this series.  They are:

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport

Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992)

Porsche 911 GT3R

Car selection for each event is indicated on the series schedule below.

Event 4 and 8 are designated as wildcard car races. The car will be determined by a polled driver’s vote one week prior to the race.

Fixed iRacing standard setups will be used.

Schedule

Custom Livery Painting

• Custom paint schemes are permitted and encouraged but must comply with iRacing’s broadcast criteria and iRacing Custom Paint Policy.
• Paints are uploaded to Trading Paints and configured for use by your iRacing account.
• Alternatively, custom paint schemes can be configured in the iRacing Paint Shop.
• Make sure you are using the correct iRacing base design pattern for your car! Read this important message.
• Unless noted otherwise, drivers must use the PCA Sim Racing Series template for their class.

Paint Template

• There is a livery template for each class in the zip file.
• The template is required to run Series 10 for Pro, Club, Sport, and Challenge.
• Entry Class is requested to use the template but it is not mandatory.

iRacing Server Capacity

• iRacing events offer limited grid space, with maximum participant limits varying from track to track. We anticipate full grids for most events and all four national classes have more league-registered drivers than iRacing slots available.
• We strongly encourage drivers who wish to participate in ANY event to join the server as soon as it becomes available to secure their spot in the event!
• Drivers are requested to notify the Steering Committee if they are unable to join due to capacity issues.
