WELCOME TO 12 HOURS OF SUZUKA!

on Assetto Corsa Competizione.

It’s time for the fifth WSS special event this year. This time we are traveling to the legendary Suzuka circuit in Japan. Wide, fast and flowing track always provides great racing. Originally it was designed as a test circuit for Honda in 1962. Since then it earned a legendary status due to interesting racing and deciding F1 races held here over the years. Probably the most famous race was the 1967 title decider between Niki Lauda and James Hunt depicted in the movie Rush.

SUBMERSE YOURSELF

into the world of endurance racing, where strategy, dealing with traffic, and driving fast yet consistently is key. You can create your own team or search for teams here.

Premium event

We’re working hard to improve WSS and constantly increase the quality of races. One of the ways we're doing this is by connecting more and more professionals from different fields: marketing, FIA approved stewards, broadcasters, and administrators. We can not sustain this quality if the special event remained free to enter. Therefore, from now on special events will be Premium events.

WHY BECOME A PREMIUM MEMBER?

If you are doing at least 2 premium events per month it becomes cheaper for you to become a premium member and pay a monthly fee rather than pay 2 times the 5 Eur entry fee. And it is worth it, even more, the more premium events you do!

Not only that, but many other perks are available for premium members:

• Custom car liveries (skins)
• Organizer account
• Mod upload request
• Private event server
• Unlimited community event
• Early access to new features

FREE PRACTICE / PRE-QUALIFICATION

After the registration is done, a FREE PRACTICE button appears and the server will be available to connect. 

Lap times in free practice will count as a Pre-qualification round. Every driver from the team must participate in a pre-qualification round and set a minimum of 10 valid laps. The top 50 teams are assigned to Division 1,

51-100 are assigned to division 2 and so on.

LIVE RACE CONTROL

In this race, WSS will have an FIA-approved race director. The race director will spectate the race, review driver reports, and apply penalties LIVE. Currently, Live race control will only cover 1st division. Divisions 2, 3, and others will have a built-in ACC penalty system + driver/team reports review after the finish. Live race control decisions will be announced in DISCORD channel #wss-live-race-control.

IMPORTANT!

Please read the rules and regulations of this event in the "Rules" section.

PRIZES - AWARDS

We decided to change the custom WSS hoodie prize for the winning team to cash prizes for Top3 in the 1st and 2nd divisions. This way the probability of you receiving a prize increased 3x and together with this prize pool it's more than ever worth putting hours into training and then battling it out for 12h on track!

1st place - 250

2nd place - 150

3rd place - 100

4th place - 70

5th place - 30

GOOD TO KNOW:

• The minimum driver count in one team is set to 2
• The maximum driver count in one team is set to 4
• Pit lane speed. Don’t forget to reduce speed before entering the pit lane! ACC will give a penalty for speeding in pits. Also same when exiting pit lane - if you are using an automatic pit limiter it might cut a bit too early and you will get a penalty. We recommend accelerating only after driving over the exit line even with an automatic pit limiter.
• The weather in the race will be adjusted according to real-life forecast predictions.
• Racing incidents should be reported using the ‘Report Driver’ system inside the event results page. All reports will be reviewed by race control after the race and time penalties will be added to the total time for the team that will break the rules.
• Steam Account. Make sure to use the same Steam account for registering and driving during the event - your steam ID is captured when you register and a server slot will be reserved for that specific Steam account.
• The Primary Driver must connect to the server first. Otherwise, you may be stuck in spectator mode.
• Custom car liveries can be uploaded by premium users, see documentation here.
• By default, custom liveries are not installed for participants to prevent game freezes and performance issues. However, if you have no problem with that and would still like to see all custom liveries, you need to enable this in your WSS settings (User menu > Settings > Game Content > Install ACC Liveries)
