Track Boundaries:
- Track boundaries are generally the same as those enforced by the GT5 penalty system and as defined by section 16: Offline Racing in the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules & Guidelines. Much of the following is taken verbatim from there.
- Colliding with or using walls, fences or other obstacles is forbidden, whether time is gained or not.
- Two wheels (except when airborne, where the vertical projection of the car onto the track counts) must be in contact with the track/circuit which includes the rumble strips and footpaths, but not grassed areas.
- All green areas are not part of the track unless otherwise stated in the Race Specifics section of any given event.
- Curbs, sidewalks/pavements are not part of the track unless otherwise stated.
- Tarmac/Asphalt or any other kind of surface mentioned above that are situated beyond the normal limits of the track, Run-off areas for example, are not part of the track unless otherwise stated.
- Any kind of rumble strip made of concrete, stone etc is part of the track unless otherwise stated.
- In short: if there is no rumble strip, keep two wheels within white lines. If there is a rumble strip, keep two wheels on the rumble strip.
- Occasionally crossing track boundaries to avoid other cars, accidents etc is to be expected, but if you continuously go out of bounds, you will be penalized.
Penalty System v2.0:
- Crossing the pit exit line will result in a 10s penalty, regardless of if you are around another car or not.
- A collision that results in another driver losing control of their car will result in a 5s penalty multiplied by positions lost.
- A collision that has clear intent to force another driver to lose control will result in a 10s penalty multiplied by positions lost.
- When a driver overtakes unfairly and fails to yield within a reasonable time, a 20s penalty will be applied on top of any other penalties.
- A 40s time penalty for not using both tire compounds.
- The disadvantaged driver has 1 opportunity to reclaim his position. If the driver spins or crashes while another driver is trying to yield, no penalty will be applied except for the contact.
- Slight contact and taps will be allowed, but excessive force will result in a penalty.
- If a driver disconnects after causing a collision worthy of a penalty, the penalty will be applied to their next completed race.
- Using a car that failures to meet the regulations (e.g. Using an illegal engine upgrade) will result in you being disqualified from the event.
- Offenders that receive 5 or more penalties will get a further 10s penalty on their next penalty given.
- Discussion of collisions between the drivers is forbidden in the thread. All discussion must take place using the private messaging service.
- When an incident is reported to the stewards a PM will be sent out by ZachAK47 to the drivers involved. They will then get a chance to explain their perspective and this will be noted by the stewards in subsequent action.
- Any appeals against penalties must be declared by PMing ZachAK47. Not in the thread.
- The penalty system may be altered after an incident to result in more appropriate action applied if it occurs again.
- If a driver mixed soft and medium tyres they will be penalised 40s.
- Discussion of any kind of incidents(e.g. posting youtube clips), before action is taken, will result in the penalty being halved.
- Post race rage (either in lounge or on thread) must end 10 minutes after the end of the race, any foul language/abuse after this time will result in your qualifying time being wiped for the next round.
- *note if you are going to retire from a race please pull into the pits like a gentlemen racer plz or risk losing your points for that round!
Any questions about the penalty system should be directed to ZachAK47
Lag Policy:
- In order to create the closest racing possible, a good Internet connection is needed. To ensure that this can happen we are doing a 3 strikes policy for lagging drivers (a strike is one race)
- Strike 1- no action, it is treated as a one off
- Strike 2 - warning that the driver needs to try to improve their connection
- Strike 3 - the driver will not be permitted to race unless multiple stewards can confirm on race day the driver has no lag
- If a driver does not lag for 2 consecutive races, then one strike will be removed.
Driving Standards:
- When a driver has their front bumper, alongside the car aheads rear bumper, a cars width must be left by the car ahead.
- The car ahead keeps right of way until the overtake is completed, when the overtaking car is completely ahead of the defending driver.
- The car ahead may move across the track when defending even when the overtaking car is alongside, provided the overtaking car is not forced off track.
- When alongside, a cars width must be left by the overtaking driver and the defending driver, neither driver cannot be forced off track.
- Bump drafting is allowed, to indicate you do not wish to bump draft, move off the racing line on the straight.
- The overtaking driver must be in full control of their vehicle and be prepared to abandon the overtake if contact is looking possible. Also known as avoidable contact!
- You can qualify at any time until 1 hours before the race begins.
- Qualifying ends in
- Notify any of the race officials on PSN or on here that you want to qualify.
- Success ballast is used during qualifying.
- The qualifying room must have the same settings as listed under "Room Regulations"
- The race official will check room settings and car settings.
- You will do a 4 lap "Grid Start" race and the fastest lap time in the first
- If you abandon your Qualifier laps then you must still use the tyres that you attempt to qualify on.
- A race official must watch all 3 timed laps for a qualifying attempt to be valid.
- A race official must qualify with another race official watching the qualifying.
- All times must be posted on the thread along with the race official's name who spectated the qualifying attempt.
None Qualifiers:
- We actually had a problem at last weeks race that needs to be worked out so this is how we are going to fix none qualifier's. The room will be open 15 mins earlier to have a 10 min qualifying session for the late qualifiers. The drivers who qualified during the week will have priority to their grid positions regardless if in the knockout session a driver bests a already qualified drivers time. After the knockout session those late Q drivers will grid from behind the slowest already qualified driver to make up the grid for the main event.
Pre-Race Car Checks:
- Before the race can begin, I must check that everyone's car is the right horsepower and weight.
- Please do not access your garage or tune menu when your car passes.
- Anyone accessing the garage or tune menu will be penalized at the race officials' discretion.
- Cars need to be broke-in so we don't have any HP gainers during the races. This is an advantage in the race.
Rolling Start: V2
- In the final sector, there will be no weaving or sudden changes of acceleration.
- If a driver wishes to accelerate and brake to warm tires, this MUST be done off the racing line
- It is recommended each car is a car length apart to give the driver in-front the chance to weave to warm their tires.
- Overtaking is allowed once you cross the start finish line. But full throttle is allowed once the leader crosses the start finish line.
- Going off track boundaries to warm tires is allowed.
- A driver who loses positions on the pace lap is allowed to make their way to their starting position in a safe manner.
- Any collisions on the pace lap will be investigated
- Leading car must cross finish line at a speed between 70mph and 80mph
Race Finish:
- When the winner passes the checkered flag and the timer pops up, you will continue to race until the end of the lap you are currently on. Once you finish your lap, you are not allowed to pass anymore cars.
