The championship races

Each race page: editing a single race, server files, public page and Discord card.

Every championship race has its own page, just like a ForFun: there you prepare the race night, upload the files to the server, share the race card and, after the race, publish the results.

Opening a race

On the championship page click a track in the Calendar, or Open the round in the next race box. At the top you see the championship name and Round 5 of 8.

1 Editing the race

Edit round opens the same form as a ForFun. You can change track, day and time, and also sessions, weather, rules and passwords for this race only.

If you change sessions, weather or rules, the race becomes Different from the championship and from then on keeps its own settings.
Restore from the championship makes it follow the season format again.
You can also choose a different scoring for this race only (for example double points in the final).

If the championship is published and you change date, time, track or format, entrants get a message with the new schedule. If you save without changing anything, no message is sent.

2 Race details

The Race details box sums up sessions, weather and rules as drivers will see them, and says whether they are as the championship or different. If a race has no format yet, the box tells you and offers two choices: Use the season format or Configure only this race.

3 Files for the server

The game server needs three files in its cfg folder:

event.json: track, sessions and weather;
eventRules.json: pit stops and race rules;
entrylist.json: names and numbers of the entrants.

With a linked server click Upload all files: RaceControl puts them on the server for you. Without a linked server, Download all (.zip) and copy the cfg folder to the server (for example from the G-Portal panel), then restart the server.

Next to each file you see its status: Ready, On the server ✓ or To update when, for example, a new driver signs up after the upload.

If two races use the same server at the same time, the files of one replace the files of the other: the page warns you.

4 Results

After the end of the race the Import results button becomes active. How it works is explained in Results and standings.

5 Public page and Discord card

Public page: the race card drivers see, with track, times, entrants and, after the race, the results. The link can be shared.
Discord card: an image ready to post in your channel, with the championship name, track, date and a QR code that leads to the race page.
Starting grid: to prepare a reversed or custom grid.

Once the race has started

From the start the race is read-only: date, track and format can no longer change, because drivers have already raced with those settings. You can still manage the race results, scoring and entry list, for post-race corrections.

Adding or removing a race

To add or move races use Edit championship → Calendar (see Editing a championship). To remove a race not yet run use Delete among the actions of its page (then confirm with Delete round): entrants get a message. A race already run cannot be deleted.
