Problems & Penalties

Incidents & corner cutting

All incidents and corner cutting will be decide the games strict settings. If you feel an incident to be unfair and giving a penalty, please record a clip and sent them to any of the admins for further review.

SAVE THE REPLAY! Or RECORD THE CLIP. We may not be able to see the incident from our perspective.

We are concerned that people during practice sessions are cutting corners too much. Regardless of what other series do, if you see someone outside the whitelines, tell them there and then. Anyone found
doing this repeatedly/deliberately will be penalised, either in points or by exclusion from the ongoing championship.

DO NOT hesitate about reporting, it will be confidential and will make the racing here cleaner, therefore better and more fun! We may need you to make and upload a clip.

It's the responsibility of the person overtaking to ensure they make a clean pass! If you do hit someone (we appreciate accidents do happen!), make sure you give them the spot back.

If you feel that you were a victim of unsportsmanlike behaviour or intentionally taken of the track. Please present footage of the incident in question to the organisers within 72 hours of the end of the event. Any inquiries will be, at best, closed and penalties applied before the next event.

Connection issues

Driver loses his connection to the lobby?
At the start of the next heat he will start from the back.
In case of multiple DNF's or DNS's this is sorted by the host (faster driver starts at the back).

Please make sure your connection is fine and your ports are forwarded (even if your connection acts fine).
Try www.speedtest.net, your ping is the most important (lower=better, generally below 50ms).

Broadcasting

We request that there will be no broadcasting through Twitch. This is to aid the quality of lobby connections

Rules have been updated.

The rules have been changed to ABS on and Medium Traction.

After last week's races, we will be changing the damaged to reduced, and Safety car off.
