General ontrack behaviour
Drivers must be familiar with their car and the track before entering competition. Practicing to get good knowledge of each specific track and the car's handling is mandatory before racing online. Drivers should never enter a race without having practiced before, as this would dramatically increase the likelyhood for race incidents. We're driving as Friends and thus Gentlemenlike sportsmanship is the required attitude for all drivers. Continuous violation of that axiom will not be tolerated, even if it doesn't go along with explicit rule breaking

Overtaking
The safety at overtaking manoeuvres is in the responsibility of the overtaking driver in first order. The driver in front is in responsibilty of running a reasonable line. Cutting in even though the overtaking car already is on the inside next to your car isn't reasonable. Do not try to pass a car if it's not safe. Never launch any foolhardy overtaking attempts. Race incidents as a result of such misplaced strikes may be punished. It is in each driver's responsibility not to hit opponents' cars. Intentional hitting will result in disqualification.

Fighting
The driver in front has the right to chose line, but may not "sway" back and forth on straights to block an overtaking car. One "change of lanes" per straight is allowed to chose line into next corner.

Lapping
A car that is about to be lapped must yield to the lapping car at least within one lap by giving room for overtaking at first safe opportunity. Intentional "bumping away" a car at lapping that didn't make place at first sight however is not allowed under any circumstances and will be severely punished

Race lines
Drivers are required to keep at least 2 wheels on the race track at all times. Consistent abuse may result in disqualification and no scoring for that race. Drivers who accidently shortcutted a corner must not gain positions on drivers who properly made the corner, and must slow and wait to pull behind any cars that they may have passed while off the racetrack.

Drivers that have accidently run offtrack must make sure only to get back to the track without blocking/hindering any other driver's race line - even if that eventually means to let pass the entire crowd

Don't ever put up any complaints about race incidents or other driver's behaviour publicly in the race chat, on the forum or in the pre/post-race chat!

Send in your complaint only after at least 24 hours after the race to Race Admin via Speedsims forum private msg. Take that 24h to calm down and think twice. Any complaint send in with less than 24h passed since race end will be ignored.

Depending on what kind of complaint you have filed in, You may be asked for prove in form of your race replay or screenshots.

Other drivers' replays may be required as well. All parties involved in the complaint will be asked for a statement.

The decision on the complaint is up to Race Admin. All people directly involved will be informed about decisions; any penalty will be made public.

Penalties
Penalties for Minor, Medium & Major incidents will be 10, 15 & 30 second penalties respectively.

The first race of the series there will be no minor or medium incident penalties just warnings however major incidents will be penalized.

Major penalties could lead to a Race Disqualification and/or Series Ban as well.

Major Penalties are for intentional wrecking or chewing another driver out before, during or after the race in chat or the forum.

Medium Penalties are for if you wreck someone and they get damage

Minor Penalties are for minor racing contact such as unintentional spins with little or no damage to either vehicle.

rest of the rules will be standard Speedsims Rules.

Forgot to mention Provisionals
Drivers are allowed 2 personal provisionals & 2 team provisionals. Just post in the track topic if you need to use one or the other.
