Touring Car League - Rules and Format

Nakamuza — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 20:14:39 +0000

Hey All!

So finally I've pulled my finger out of my behind and got the proposed details for the up and coming league we're organising. All the details are subject to change, and you'll be notified should this be the case.

League Structure

Race format - "Races Weekends" will be weekly with events scheduled and announced on our steam group. We're currently deciding the best race format and your input will be greatly recieved.

Race Format
Practice Session - 60 minutes
Qualifying 1 - 15 minutes
Race 1 - 20 minutes

*10 minute break*

Qualifying 2 - 5 minutes
Race 2 - 20 minutes

Points System & Penalties/ Racing Rules

We will be using a modified version of the current BTCC points system.

Race Results - 20, 17 ,15, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Pole Position - 1

Drivers & Teams

Driver & Team signups - All drivers are required to signup before compete. Teams are optional and can have a maximum of 3 drivers per team.
Car Choice - During the Test Races car choice is free. All drivers & teams must state their car choice prior to the first main league race, this will be fixed the duration of the main league.

Racing Rules

Race Cleanly at all times, participating in the league we expect that all drivers will do their best to avoid contact.
Should contact occur then the driver at fault is expected to slow and give the position back within a reasonable time and without impeding other drivers.
This is will count as your penalty, should any driver not adhere to the rule then you'll receive a harsher punishment.

Deliberate contact will result in a permanent ban from this and all future leagues.

Overtaking and Defending
All overtaking must done with respect and cleanly, generally it is the car behind who must avoid contact.

Defending must also be done respect, no excessive weaving or blocking. Choose your line and stick to it, If a driver is alongside do not force them off track.

Corner Cutting
We will not be using the in game corner cutting system as the penalties are too severe, that said the track is defined by the white lines and two wheels must be kept within them at all times. Anyone persistently corner cutting will recieve punishment and possible exclusion from the league.
Accidental corner cutting/ misjudgement can happen, if an advantage is gained please give any positions back without impeding other drivers.

Being Lapped
Lapped car - it is your responsibility to pay attention to blue flags and allow drivers to pass when safe to do so. Anyone constantly ignoring blue flags will be pernalised.

When overtaking a lapped car do so safely, flash your lights to gain the attention but do not do so excessively. Flashing lights is only to be used when overtaking a lapped car and such should not be used any other reason.

Qualifying Rules

It is your own responsibility to find space before a hotlap, a slower car does not have to move out of the way if they're on a hotlap. We advise drivers to turn on their lights when on a hotlap, as such lights should be turned off when on either, in/ out lap or a cooldown lap.
Should you spin out, go off track do not rejoin the track immediatly make absolutely sure when you rejoin it is safe to do so. If you spin out and stay on track stay still until other cars have passed you.

Reset to track

This is not permitted under any circumstances, any drivers using this will be removed from the session immediately and anyone using it persistently will be removed from the league.

Saving Replays/ Recording

We ask that everyone saves their replays or records, in the event you feel the need to report anyone in the league for whatever reason.

Penalties

We don't want to apply penatlies as they ruin the racing and will only be applied if felt strictly necessary. Penalties that can be applied are as follows:

Time penalty - 5-60 seconds - causing collisions of varying severity, corner cutting, ignoring blue flags.
Race Ban - Consistent rule breaking, griefing, rage quitting.
League Ban - Conistent severe rule breaking, only applied after race ban or any reason otherwise stated.

Rage Quits

Anyone rage quitting will receive a 1 race ban as stated above, consitently doing so will result a league ban.

No Shows/ cancellations

We understand that you may not be available to make every race meet due to life and that's cool, we ask that you inform us at least 3 days before so we can let any reserve drivers know if they would like to participate.
If you do not show for 2 race meets without informing us we may remove you from the league to allow someone else to join.

Disconnects/ Connection Quality

As with online racing and Project Cars 2 net code, disconnects are possible. If you are disconnected please rejoin as soon as possible, if you are unable to do so then that is tough luck unfortunately.

We do request that a good quality connection is required and will notify anyone lagging to fix the problem. A good quality connection is required for close and safe racing as such should your connection not be up to par we will ask you leave.

General & Reporting

We ask all drivers to be polite and treat everyone with respect, anyone disrespecting other drivers or causing grief will not be tolerated. We are all here to have fun and enjoy the race.

Please report any problems or incidents to JAPS or Nakamuza within 3 days of the race, you must have video evidence. We will judge the incident impartially including if we are involved in an incident, just because we are the organisers does not exclude us from penalties.

All of these rules are required to ensure that everyone experiences the best racing possible and penalties will only be applied if deemed necessary.

Please read our Calendar & Lobby Settings found here

Discord Channels

We are using discord and if you want your team to have their own channel let us know we'll set one up for you to use. Our discord channel invite is YYZjUss.
