3.0 Drivers's Attitude

Pilots must respect their opponents in the race and have a fair play attitude. If a driver hits an opponent after a suicidal maneuver, he should wait and let the other driver pass (if possible), without interfering the race.

3.1 Overtaking

A good pilot is waiting for the best time to pass it, it does not double on sensible parts of the circuit where the collision might be inevitable. You have to be patient and remain behind the driver that you follow for a few laps to attack at the right time. The race is long, there is no need to ruin the other driver's race after a reckless maneouver.

Please also note braking, always anticipate to avoid hitting the car stupidly in front. A good attitude in the race gives great satisfaction and respect for his opponents.

In an accident with another driver when overtaking, the driver that doubles to be held responsible if his passing was done at a point on the track or overtaking is almost impossible or if the power passage and sending the other to the mat! If this is the case it will slow down and let the other driver. Tell yourself that if you are the faster you will end anyway by exceeding the driver you follow.

You choose the right time!

3.2 When is exceed

Any driver has the right to defend its position in the race but not at any price! Drivers who shut the door can not reverse its lane to make his brake, he must stay inside. In a straight line, no swerving to avoid being overtaken. The defender can choose to put inside, but he can no longer change course. One lane change is allowed. The idea is to leave a margin of safety for the driver that you double and who is at your level, this is necessary because of the blind spots.

However, it is recommended to keep the most caution, and possibly expand a little the path to avoid the collision.

A driver who does not apply the points mentioned above, which would exceed the other all costs, even to go to the carpet is not a good driver! It is important to be fair play, and it is a hundred times better finish bottom of the league and have nothing to regret, that before he rolled in a dubious manner. If a driver traveling in the opposite direction or has a bad attitude in the race, he will be banned from the event and jeopardize its participation in the upcoming online events.


3.3 Presence of shortcuts (chicane shorted)

The rules for the cuts are set by the game itself. However, excessive or not following the route cuts will be punished. We rely primarily on the fair play of the participants not to benefit from the largesse of excessive play. Moreover, the Commissioners reserve the right to ban too direct paths (that cut the circuit) on some corners they deem too dangerous for the running of the race.

When excessive cutting is done unintentionally, and there is gain one or more seats, it should return to its original place before the end of the turn away from the path, even if the game has inflicted a warning. Namely, all voluntarily cut for a great price or a pole trajectory will be punished.


3.4 Back on track (after track exiting or error ...):

After going off the track, when you return to it, it is necessary to return on track in the racing direction, even if such a move makes you lose time. It is forbidden to force your way when you return to the track. Wait until it is cleared to return.


4.0 Backmarkers

Despite the fact that there was no indication of the blue flag, check your mirrors and give way to drivers who take you one or more turns. You stray from the path and quickly give way to leaders. No need to put in the grass rather than in a straight line stray from the normal route and slow, in turn, keep the outside. Merely change course mean the driver that takes a turn that can happen. Do not change paths twice. A pilot who tries to resist and send to the mat the faster than he who tries to take him a ride will be sanctioned!

5.0 Drivers conflict

In case of conflict between multiple drivers, they can send a claim with the staffs if they feel they have been wronged by another driver in the race after a collision or another problem.
Pilots must immediately after the race send a private message on the forum to the Commissioners. They will analyze replays and will give appropriate sanctions. There is no need to post aggressive posts and make the law yourself.

Of course, you should not abuse it either, because then you have to will challenge you as well (am I too aggressive ?)


6.0 Chat, TeamSpeak (Qualifications - Races)

The chat is prohibited during official qualifying sessions and race. But it is allowed when all drivers have completed qualification or race.
Only organizers are allowed to speak on chat, and Teamspeak , give warnings and/or sanctions live.

On TeamSpeak, you will have team channels, and you have configure a button to talk to the entire channel for the sole purpose of preventing an accident (or congratulate the winner at the end of the race
