4 Penalty Points & Race Rules
The stewards spend many hours planning to make this series run as fair and smoothly as we can, for this we need your cooperation.
Race incidents must be reported on the forum within 24 hours of the race finishing.
These will be reviewed by only those stewards who are not in anyway involved.
To post race incidents to be reviewed as follows.....
Incident reports.
Any driver that has contact/bumps/unfair behavior of any kind can report on the forum within 24 hours of the race finish.
This must not be in any way to blame or explain, it will only ask the stewards to review.
This is the format of the report
Incident between Car ? and car ?
Lap ?
Turn ?
Incident ? contact - shortcut - etc.
This will allow the stewards to look without prejudice at the incident.
It will be important that stewards review and decide fair or foul within 48 hours of the race as
Penalties given may be reflected in a Bhp penalty or a drop of places for the race start.
Incidents will be reviewed by the stewards and any penalties will be posted by Wednesday night.
When posting an incident report, please only do so if the outcome is worth reporting.
If the car that contacts you is out of control or contact is made unintentionally then we cannot penalise the offending driver.
Only incidents where there is clearly Intent to overtake or bully without regard for the other driver or generally driving in a manner that is deemed ungentlemanly or short cutting regularly.
Most of us are not mega fast, but we always try to be fair and that needs to be very important and understood.
Outside Track limits
Any driver that runs outside the track limits with all 4 wheels must lift off completely from the throttle and wait until a minimum of 2 wheels are back inside the track limits before using the throttle pedal.
The track limits are defined by the white line running around both edges of the track.
This will be to stop the cutting of corners and running wide.
The kerbs are outside the white track limit lines and are not part of the track.
The only exception to this rule will be made if a car is forced by another car outside or they are avoiding an accident.
If your car runs very wide and you have no momentum to rejoin the track without using the throttle you are permitted to do so if your car speed falls below 30mph 48kph and you can only then gain a speed of 30mph 48kph until 2 wheels are inside the track limits.
Any driver that does not adhere to the rules will face penalty points for each incident.
Pit Entry & Exit lines must also be adhered to at all times possible.
Driving standards and points penalties
NO DRIVER MUST DRIVE IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION IN QUALY OR THE RACE
NO DRIVER CAN PIT DURING QUALYFYING
ANY PENALTY POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM THE POINTS STANDINGS AFTER THE FINAL RACE BHP TYRE ALLOCATION IS ANNOUNCED.
NO DRIVER CAN ENTER THE PITLANE BEFORE THE CLOCK HAS RUN FOR 14 MINUTES.
This is a Zero contact series, as with damage on, even a little nudge can lead to a huge loss of time for contact.
Driving penalties handed to drivers in this series will be very harsh.
Penalties will be taken off the drivers points standings immediately after the race
and will be reflected in the new drivers points table that will be posted on Wednesday nights.
All drivers will be expected to drive with due care and consideration to other drivers.
Bumping cars ahead and causing them to run wide or rubbing alongside cars and forcing them to run wide and gaining any advantage must be rectified by giving back any position gained.
Overtaking
It will be the responsibility of the overtaking driver to ensure there is no contact between cars at any time.
If a driver forces another car off the track by attempting an overtake and then leaves no room for the car being overtaken to continue will be penalised.
If a driver being overtaken clearly weaves or moves to block and causes contact there will be heavy penalty points.
All drivers must ensure that they do all they can to avoid contact.
The driver ahead must always give room to a car that is 1/4 length or more alongside going into a corner.
All avoidable accidents will be reviewed and will points deducted at the stewards discretion.
Being lapped
Cars being lapped should always allow the leading cars through to battle without interference.
Even if running at their pace, let them through then follow.
Drivers can un lap themselves if they feel they can pass and clear the leaders without interference.
