Any amendments to the rules will be announced in the forum on the site, please check on a regular basis.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Driver Conduct:
Conduct on the track:
* During all sessions drivers must follow the basic guidelines of entering and exiting pit lane (explained further in pitting section)
* Drivers are expected to be prepared for the track they are racing and be able to maintain a safe line that they can race to the best of their ability
* If you make a mistake and catch the apron or hit the wall, make every effort to stay out of the racing line until you are back up to racing speed. This will prevent small incidents from becoming major pile-ups
* Corner cutting is not allowed. Two wheels must remain on the racing surface at all times. You may ride the aprons/curbs but at least two wheels should remain on the racing surface. This includes tracks with large front aprons.
* It is important to be aware of what�s going on around you. Use your mirrors. You are responsible for what you do with your car
* Drivers may race to stay on the lead lap, but if you are 1 or more lap down you must safely move out of lead lap drivers way
* You must obey any commands given from an admin as soon as it is safe to do so
* When issues do arise handle the situation in a professional manner by contacting the league administration team. They will deal with the incident after reviewing the replay
* Retaliatory actions/Intentional wrecking will not be tolerated (see three strike rule)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Race Conduct:
Passing:
* "Moving" another car by excessive bumping forcing them out of their line is not allowed.
* Failure to respect a driver�s braking point by bumping or forcing them out of their line on corner entry is not allowed.
* Blocking is not allowed. Blocking is defined as changing your line more than once in an obvious attempt to prevent a car from safely executing a pass.
* You may make one move to defend your position, any other move is blocking.
* Lapped cars are encouraged to let the leaders pass on the racing line unless they are racing for position.
* Cars slowed by damage are encouraged to let other cars pass unless they are racing for position with other damaged cars.
* It is the overtaking car's responsibility to execute a safe pass.
* If a car has position on you, you are expected to hold your line (either high or low).
* You are expected to maintain proper control of your vehicle at all times. Most incidents occur on corner entry so extra care must be taken. Failure to hold your line resulting in contact to a passing car may result in a penalty.
Overly aggressive driving will not be tolerated. A driver forcing the issue with dangerous passes, weaving recklessly through traffic or deliberate intimidation will be penalized. (see three strike rule)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Accidents:
If you are involved in an accident
* Try to get off the racing line as quickly and safely as possible
* Wait for all race traffic to get past you before turning around on the track

* If you are disconnected from the server during a race for reasons beyond your control, you must be present in chat after the race to notify an Admin of your situation. If you notify an Admin you will receive last place points for that event
