Rules
(updated 31/8/07)
1) Race procedure
A)
Open a race and start practice immediately, allow 10 min for
everyone to get in and practice.
B) Once the flags wave
for the end of practice everyone go immediately back to the
pre-race area and join the main race grid as soon as it is
possible.
(Note 2 to drivers: The race
will start automatically after a short delay and you will miss the
grid lineup if you carry on practicing or don’t join in time. If
you don’t join the lineup time you can still start but you will
join from the pit lane, so you will be behind the others by
whatever time you are late)
C) Races will be the 'Int Long,' to set number of laps
for each track..
D) Stay in the server at the end of the race, and conduct the next
race in the same way.
E) If there is a server crash and more than 50%
of the race has been completed, then based on the positions of
each driver upto the crash will be the result for that race. Under
50% racetime, and the race will be re-run with only 5 mins
qualifying.
2) Scoring
A) We
will use the following scoring system so that every place is worth
fighting for.
1st 10 pts
2nd 8 pts
3rd 6 pts
4th 5 pts
5th 4 pts
6th 3 pts
7th 2 pts
8th 1 pt.
DNS (Did Not Start) =
no points, DNF (Did Not Finish) score according to order of dropping.
All race results
will count towards the final league total, less your worst result
for the season. So 1 race may be
missed. The last race is compulsary though.
3) Etiquette/configuration
A)
Take care at the starts. The car starts off on cold tyres, and you
will have less grip for 1 or 2 laps.
If you cause an
accident into T1 (and possibly T2 on some tracks) which could have
been avoided then you will receive a penalty. Racing
accidents will no go punished, but dam buster style dives down to T1
with brakes locked etc will be.
B)
Be patient and explain what people need to do when they are
stuck. Don't assume too much knowledge when explaining.
C)
Drivers should have braking and acceleration help off for total
realism, but any aids (within GPL) to assist in better driving is
accepted .
D)
Please take some time out and read the GPL
Recommended Driving Behavior web site on better online
racing. It is a great insight!
E) Use the forum to post messages if you can't attend.
F)
Race evening may sometimes be delayed by approx 15-30 minutes when ever
there are big events taking place i.e major football matches etc.
Notice of any race meeting delay will be done through the forum AND
newsletter.
G)
When defending another car from overtaking, you may make 1 (ONE)
move to block the car, but weaving is not accepted.
H)
If you take out another driver through no fault of the other driver,
we feel its right to wait for him to get back onto the track and
take up the same racing position before the accident you caused
happened. Failing to comply could lead to a DQ for that race.
I) A penalty system is used to
punish poor driving/racing. If you cause any accident which the CoC/s
feel could be avoided then you will be issued with a point penalty.
1st lap turn 1 incidents will be closely watched and if you caused
an accident which you could have avoided, you will be point
punished, and details posted on the league forum.
J)
If you want to make a complaint about poor driving, send a ZIPPED
replay file to THE RACE STEWARDS who will each look at the replay and decide on that
drivers fate. Race Steward is Tommie van Ostade. If
a complaint is with one of the Stewards, then a 2th Steward will be
selected.
K) During practice/qualifying
please keep OFF the racing line on your out laps or cool down laps.
So many times do I see someones qual lap wasted because someone got
in their way while they were on their out lap etc.
4) Car Rules
A)The car choice is free.
