Acceleration Zone
In iRTES, everyone must ignore the green lights in the game.
You go only when your class polesitter accelerates within the AZ.
Orange Zone (OZ)
Try to avoid causing contact or other problems within the OZ on lap 1.
Penalties will be more severe than normal.
The lap 1 OZ at Road America runs all the way to the exit of The Kink (Turn 11 on our map). Sections marked in PINK (2, 4, 11a) are considered straights, not corners, per the CMS GCR.
Event-specific notes
This first race of the season falls on the day that North America changes its clocks away from Daylight Saving, so be extra careful to make sure you know when to be on the server. European clocks should already have changed the weekend before.
At the start of the race (and any time you approach Turn 1 two-wide), the inside car will need to slow much more than they probably think. It’s a situation which easily catches people out. Try to get some practice at this in advance of the race.
The Kink is a place where all cars are right on the limit. Don’t try to make an aggressive pass there. Time your approach to catch them just after the corner.
