(this also includes cutting in your warmup lap to get a higher topspeed on the main straight or to save tires.)
-Dont hit anybody to gain a position.
-Race fair!
-Wet tires (intermediate/extreme wet) are strictly forbidden for dry races. (Explanation next post).
-Do not take shortcuts to gain time.

1C. WARMUP AND SAFETY CAR PERIODS:
During warmup and safety car periods there are special rules:
-keep the distance(atleast 10m)
-no heavy brakings
-no overtaking(except in SC period if you are 1 lap behind and you get permission to overtake)

Those drivers that will not follow this rules will be punished with penalty atleast 10 places down the grid.

*You dont even need to cause an incident, admins can still decide a dangerous driving. Following rules are just things that admins will look at and then decide the penalty if needed.

1D. QUALIFYING:
Qualifyings starts at 6:00 PM GMT+1.

We bring new qualifying rules in 2009. Qualifying extends to 15min, everyone is allowed to do 2 hotlaps. Note the blue flags on the track, blocking is strongly against the rules. Parc Ferme will be enabled so Qual has to be driven with race fuel.

1E. PING:
Drivers with more than 250 will be kicked from the race.

1F. SPECIAL WARNINGS:
If you miss the race without telling us, you get special warning. When you collect three of them, you are kicked from the league.

Also 3 races in a row missing makes you a testdriver.

Crossing the white line after exiting the pits is forbidden. Drivers who cross the line and gain an advantage, cause a crash or slow down an opponent, will be penalised.

2. Rules about non-racing obligations in our league.

2A. INDIVIDUAL HELMETS:
To make race videos and pictures of the league more interesting we will have rule for every racer to have an own helmet for his races. This helmets will be archived by Luka and released for you in specific time steps. If you can't paint please ask some of our league members (teemu, luka, bobi...) to paint one for you, they will like to do that.

2B. SERVER PASSWORD:
Sharing the password of the server is strictly forbbiden, violation of this rule can be penalised with a ban of 1 race or ban from the league.


Thanks for understanding.

Again for all newcommers and rookies! Please make sure to read especially the aids part of it! It's really easy to understand and everybody should find his configuration there.

After the first couple of races the administration decided to forbid wet/intermediate tires for dry tracks. In the first 2 races there was no problem with them because they have been a lot slower on 1 lap, but they were destroyed after 2 laps.
Now in the upcomming tracks the tire wear decreases a lot. That would mean the tires allow at least a 3 stop strategy. This combined with a 0.5 - 0.8 seconds faster tire per lap would be a huge advantage for the driver using them.
From now on wet tires are strictly forbidden in all official sessions like free practice, qual or race. When we see a guy racing with them during these times we will tell him to get normal tires or in hardest case kick him from server. It's just not fair for all others and not in sense of the mod makers. Same for the wet tracks, only intermediate and extreme wet tires are allowed.

Thanks for understanding.
