The following rules, MUST BE OBSERVED to have fun. We race in the virtual world, and have additional problems to real world motorsports, these rules try to account for those possibilities.
Clean racing is the main point to these rules. Again Clean racing is the main point to these rules.
First thing, you must have minimum 1500/ADSL broadband.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PENALTIES FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP RACE

Blue Flags holding up a faster car that is a lap up on you for more then 2 sectors / Will incur a drive thru penalty in the next race (This must be served between 10% - 80% of next race) If this penalty is not adhered to then the following race you will have to start from pit lane.

Pit Infringement / -1 positions in points ( After entering the pit you then cross over the line marking the pit entrance or exit lines, making contact with another car in the pits, failed to give way to car in pit lane when leaving your pit box.)
Cutting of the track / -1 position in points ( Cutting the inside of a corner or the exit with 3 wheels on the other side of the ripple strip)
Track Limit Infringement / every 4th time -1 position in points ( Have 3 wheels over the line that mark the edge of the track)

Outburst on teamspeak in race / -100 points ( this is disruptive to other drivers and shows you have no respect for your fellow racers)
Anyone using offending words in their "Teamspeak leave message" thats is disrespectful to others will be temporally banned until they change it. If they leave the message there or refuse to change it after a warning will result in a full ban - Respect for your fellow racers---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INCIDENT REPORTS
1. If a incident report is put in on you and it holds up, your whole race will be looked at.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESTARTS
1. In Championship Races there are NO RESTARTS
2. If you dropout on the grid warm-up will be restarted to let you back in. But if it is after the race has started you will have to re-join a lap down.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO
1. Pass with care. If you aren't sure you can pull off a move to pass an opponent, then don't do it. Take your time to work out where to make the move.
If you are passing someone on the inside of a corner you must hold that inside line on the exit, you can not run the car to the outside of the track.
If you are passing someone on the outside of a corner you must hold that outside line on the exit, you can not turn in on the inside car on the exit.
If your car dose not fit, you can't move it there.
2. If you attempt to pass another driver and tag them during your pass, gaining an advantage, allow them to regain
the position, even if it means you lose positions to drivers not involved in the incident. Basically, if you botch
up a pass, you may pay a bigger penalty.
3. Defensive driving. Swerving on straights to stop or to brake the slipstream is allowed, but swerving on straights to stop
or block another driver from passing is not allowed, a position change to ensure and protect your line for the corner is fine.
You may move once to defend your position. EG - on a straight approaching a right hand corner, you are allowed to move to
the right hand side of the track to defend the inside line for the upcoming corner, you are now committed to that line
into the corner, you are not permitted to move back onto the racing line.
4. Look. Use your look left/right abilities to narrow down the blind spots, also understand where your blind spots
are in the car you are diving, remember vision is very limited in the virtual cockpit.
5. Take care re-entering the track. Whether it be from pit lane or the sand pit, it is the responsibility of the car
that is re-entering the track boundary to avoid collision.
6. Blue flag. If you get blue flagged, it means that a car that is leading is behind you (you are being lapped). Ensure you give him the racing line and allow an uncontested pass as soon as is practical. This doesn't mean you must leave the track boundary. You have 2 sectors to clear the blue flag.
7. Yellow flag. If you get shown this, there is an incident ahead. Do not try a passing move under yellow. Take
extra caution until the area is clear.
8. Deliberate Corner Cutting: Deliberate Corner cutting will not be tolerated.
9. Don't try and win the race on turn 1. This doesn't work and it causes more problems than the pass is worth. Take
extreme care in the first corner.
10. Escaping to the pits. If you are stuck in a sand trap, have un-drivable damage, are caught with no reverse gear
or any like circumstance where your car is stranded, it is recommended to press your "ESC" key and exit back to the
pits, ensuring the track is clear for cars that are approaching you.
In game chat: You may use in game chat if you need to. TRY NOT TO IN RACE. Do not post any messages that may offend others.
11. Pit stops. Do not cross over any blend lines on the way in and out of the pits, all four wheels must remain between the lines.
When entering pit entry make sure you have 2 wheels in the lines marking the pit entry.
When driving in pit lane you have right of way, cars stationary in their pitbox must give way to moving cars.
When exiting pit exit make sure you have 2 wheels in the lines marking pit exit lane.
**NB - Due to some track configurations amendments to these rules may need to be made, drivers will be notified of these changes in the drivers briefing during warmup.**
12. Rolling start procedure. All drivers will follow the safety car in single/double file and maintain their position as directed by the game. Once the safety car enters the pit lane, the driver in the first position (P1) assumes the role as the safety car and controls the formation lap. P1 must maintain a consistent speed similar to that of the previous safety car pace and has the responsibility to commence the race at any moment after the green flag is shown. Although P1 may have the authority to accelerate rapidly out of the last turn, they are not permitted to exceed the maximum speed limit and subsequently slow down before the start line.
Upon the leader's initiation, the race officially commences. However, it is not permissible for drivers to overtake within their respective lanes before crossing the start line, and P2 is prohibited from overtaking P1 prior to the start line. In the event that the race leader fails to accelerate upon receiving the green flag and crosses the start line, the race will commence regardless.
REMEMBER HAVE FUN !!!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RETALIATION OR REVENGE.
If you take revenge on anyone who you think has done you wrong can result in instant
"BANNING". If you have a problem with anyone contact an admin and submit a replay.
FOR FASTER DRIVERS
If you choose to start from the back the rules above must be adhered to, using the cars in front as passing fodder and barging through will not be tollerated
Remember this is about having "RESPECT" for other
drivers and the "Outlaws Racing Servers" and not about
winning at all cost---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope this clears things up a bit, if there are any circumstances we may have missed please let us know.
