About The Series

 

This is a championship for people who want to experience the thrill of driving NASCAR trucks, during European friendly time slots, in a controlled friendly league.

 

Our races take place on Sunday evenings, every other week.

 

The trucks we will use are the Toyota Tundra, Chevrolet Silverado and the Ford F150.

 

This will be a open setup series.

 

There are no minimum requirements for iRating or Safety Rating.

 

All of our races are shown live by Backfire Simsport TV.

 

The league is limited to 43 drivers.

 

As a league driver, please let us know if your circumstances change and you can no longer race with us. We can then offer your place to another driver.

 

Fee

 

Season 1 is free to enter.

If the series is popular, we will put more funding into a bigger and better season 2.




























Liveries

 

Paint packs are used for the series. 

 

You are required to send your paint, in plenty of time, to bstvpaints@outlook.com

 

The latest paint pack will be available on the website prior to each race.

 

We strongly suggest that you download the latest paint pack just before you join the race server.

 

A decal layer will be added to each paint by the admins. This will cover the front windshield banner and truck lid.

 

Any driver that does not submit a paint will be given our league default paint.

 

We have a number of BSTV logos and league sponsor logos that we can share if you want to help advertise on your car.

We do ask that you have permission to use any logos on your car from the owner.










Communication

 

We have our own Discord server for race nights and general chit chat.

 

We know most teams and drivers run their own voice comms so it is not mandatory to use our Discord. However, the broadcast and post race interviews will be done using the BSTV Discord server. 

 

A link to join our Discord server is on our website.






















Championships

 

There will be an overall Drivers Championship.

 

Drivers are allowed 1 drop race to allow for any unforeseen circumstances, so your total points in the championship will be calculated from your best 7 races from the 8 available.

Practice = 60 mins

Qualifying = 15 mins (single car - 4 laps

We strongly suggest that you join any session through the LEAGUE > LEAGUE SESSIONS tab on iRacing as some drivers have had issues in joining sessions through the HOSTED tab.

 

Trucks will be limited to 75% of a full tank .

 

There are no free repairs in this series.

 

2 Green/White Checkered attemps are allowed.

Steward Reviews

 

From time to time things can get heated and/or mistakes may happen.

 

If you feel aggrieved by a situation, we ask that you do the following.

 

  • Allow a 12 hour cooling off period before protesting (protests received before the cooling off period will be deleted)

  • View the incident from different angles and different cars

  • DO NOT abuse any other drivers involved via voice or text

  • If after reviewing the incident, you feel that you need to protest it, please use the protest form stating which race, which lap, and which cars were involved.

  • The race control admin team will review the incident, give you an honest view on the incident, and apply penalties where required.

  • If your protest is unsuccessful, you will be penalised 25 championship points.

  • If a protest against you is successful, you will be given a pit lane start for the first race of the next meeting you attend + 1 licence point.

  • Any driver reaching 12 licence points will be given a 1 race meeting ban.

 

All race control and admin decisions are final.

 

Drivers gaining a position using unfair means are expected to give places back.

 

We pride ourselves on sportsmanship and clean racing so if you recognise that you have unfairly gained a position, then please allow a position reversal to take place at your earliest opportunity.

 

Any driver found to be abusive towards another driver, on any of our media platforms, Facebook, Discord or iRacing, via chat or text will face a pitlane start for the next race they attend. A second offence will be penalised with a race meeting ban, and a third offence will result in the driver being excluded from the league. No arguments.



















General

 

Black flags will only be cleared during practice sessions.

 

We use iRacing dynamic weather so bear in mind that the weather conditions will change from session to session.
