Rules:
-
Courtesy:
While in any Simcar.Info hosted race you will be expected to
treat all drivers with respect. No name-calling, flaming or other retaliation will be allowed. This will
result in a penalty, suspension or termination of membership.
-
You
may not use the name Simcar.Info (copyright) to host races
unless; you are a member of Simcar.info and are a Monitor or
approved Simcar.info Host or given permission by Simcar.Info
to do so. Dedicated hosts are preferred but
not necessary.
-
Any Simcar.Info member may host a
Simcar.Info race with or without a password. Simcar.Info races may be
hosted by a dedicated host using a name other than Simcar.info,
in this case you will be notified by email or on the
Simcar.info Web Site.
-
No
reckless or overaggressive driving allowed.
-
No
tire scrubbing is allowed during the Pace Lap or on Caution
Laps.
-
Starts
and restarts: The same passing rules apply for starts and
restarts. On road courses the pace lap will be run single
file. The driver on the pole should maintain a constant
speed until taking the green flag. If replay shows a driver
slowing down in an attempt to cause other drivers to receive a
black flag, that driver will be penalized. Absolutely no one
is to lag back to get a running start on the field. No passing
a car in the same pace line as you until after turn 1 on road
courses, or on the backstretch on oval tracks. You may pass
lapped cars on the restart, if done safely. Please use your F2
to see if cars around you are a lap down and the distance of
other cars around you.
-
In
the event that the caution comes out you must maintain your
position back to the start finish line. With 10 or less laps
remaining, you may safely race back to the line. When there
are less than 10 laps to go in a race, restarts will be single
file. Drivers not on the lead lap should proceed down pit
road. They do not have to stop in their pit stall. There is to
be no passing on pit road. This will allow cars in front to
race each other to the finish. Failure to follow this rule may
result in a penalty, if you cause a wreck or hinder the
advancement of a car on the lead lap you will receive a
penalty. Wrecks under caution may result in a penalty being
accessed.
-
A
driver that spins his car out two times bringing out a caution
in a race should slow down or park it, three spins and you
need to park it (see Penalties below). This rule applies to
racing events and not practice races. Contact that sends a car
spinning is an accident and not a single car spin, however if
it is determined that the accident was due to overaggressive
driving it will count as a spin for the driver at fault. If
you spin out more than 2 times in the same race, ask for some
help, do more off-line practicing and slow down.
-
There
will be no blocking with more than 10 laps to go. If you are
racing someone and they get their nose underneath you DO NOT
cut them off, hold your line and race them clean! Failure to
do so will result in a penalty. If you are racing side by side
going into a turn, the driver on the inside must not drift up
into the outside driver while in the turn, and must not drift
out to the wall cutting off the outside driver when exiting
the turn. The driver on the outside must take a higher line
through the turn leaving a racing lane open for the inside
driver, and must not come down, or cutoff the inside driver.
Use your mirror and F2 key to see if a car is above or below
you. If a car is somewhere alongside you, you must allow this
car the line entering the turn. Simply, if a car gets
alongside, you are to give him that line be it high or low.
Hold your line.
-
Drivers
making a pit stop should indicate with auto-chat messages,
when possible. Slowing down to enter the pits. Drivers should
drop to the bottom of the racing groove and enter the flat
portion of the pit entrance at a safe speed, taking care that
the car doesn’t spin in front of other drivers. When
pitting, drivers should be aware of other cars
entering/exiting their pit stalls. Keep your car on the
outside lane until you are close enough to enter your pit stall.
-
When
exiting pits, drivers should stay below the white line on the
apron until it is safe to re-enter the racing surface. Your
spotter will let you know when it is safe to get back on the
racing surface. Failure to follow the spotter’s instructions
could result in a penalty. The driver exiting the pits has the
responsibility to safely merge back into the racing groove.
Wrecking a driver while you are reentering the racing groove
after you leave pit road will be subject to penalty for
reckless driving.
-
Hosts
and Admins: All Simcar.info hosted races must use the
Simcar.info password currently in use. Also all Admins will
be issued boss/admin passwords on Simcar.info races. The Host
or Admins may eject any driver with serious or multiple
violations of Simcar.info rules. ANY HOST or Admin caught
abusing their authority will have their Host or Admin
privilege removed.
-
If
you are a Simcar approved driver and you see any infractions
of these rules you may file a complaint. Any Admin may file
a complaint on any driver who violates any Simcar.info rule.
To file a complaint, save your replay and send it with the
type of infraction and the car in violation here .
Please send only what is needed DO NOT send
the whole race! So, save your replays.
Simcar.info
Admins will review the incident and will make a ruling and
assess the penalties. The offending driver will receive an email
stating the violation and the penalties assessed. The offending
driver will be able to appeal the ruling. The Admins will
evaluate the appeal and make a final decision. All appealed
rulings are final.
Penalties:
Minor infractions, you will receive a warning. Multiple minor
infractions may constitute a major infraction. Major infractions
will be reviewed and the offending driver(s) will be issued a
warning and / or suspension ranging from one day to removal of
their Simcar.Info approved rating. You have 24 hours to file a
complaint, if you do not file within 24 hours then we may not
act on the complaint. Do not complain about another driver while
the race is still in progress. Wait until the race is over and
check the replay. If you feel the other driver is at fault, send
him an email or file a complaint. Most drivers will admit when
they make a mistake and may not be aware of their mistake at the
time. Don't get into an argument with the other
drivers. Remember that everyone makes mistakes. Please use
common sense when deciding if it's necessary to file a
complaint. Drivers filing multiple complaints on another
driver without good cause will be considered retaliation against
that driver. You should keep a replay of the race in its
entirety. If Simcar.Info receives a complaint against you, your
replay may show something different and could save you from
being accessed a penalty. Most of the time, racing incidents are
the direct result of warp. If we only have the replay of the
driver who is complaining against you, and it appears on the
replay that you are at fault, you could suffer a penalty for an
incident that was caused by warp. You can delete the replay after 72
hours of the completion of the race. If you haven't been asked
for it by then, you probably won't need it. Note: If you are
competing in a tournament or special event and are suspended you
will not be able to compete while suspended. If you are removed
from Simcar.Info for a serious violation and you rejoin (see below)
you will lose any points you may have had before suspension. If
you have been suspended for serious violations multiple
time’s, Simcar.Info may permanently suspend you as a member.
Penalties will work like this; for a minor violation (as
determined by Simcar.Info) score 1 to 5 points and a major violation
score 6 to 10 points. You will be allowed 25 points in any one
month. Drivers
that spins his/her car out more than two times bringing out a
caution in a race will receive a 5 point
penalty, plus 7 points for the third spin bringing out a
caution. This penalty will apply only after the third spin. Note
retaliation, intentional wrecking and badmouthing other drivers
are subject to ejection at the discretion of the Host and Admins.
All
drivers who have a complaint filed against them will have an
opportunity to defend themselves. Simcar.Info Admins will handle
all complaints without bias or favoritism. Simcar.Info will send
the driver in question a "Notification of Complaint",
which will alert the driver that a complaint has been filed
against them. The driver in question will have 48 hours to
respond with a replay of the incident and any explanation. The
ruling will be passed on to the driver in question shortly after
the ruling is made.
If
a driver has been removed from Simcar.Info Membership that driver may reapply after
30 days or an amount of time determined by the Admins, and may be required to run evaluations races and be
re-approved. Conditions may apply, re-approval is not
guaranteed.

rules are a starting point. Our goal is for higher quality
racing for all members and fewer cautions. Rules may change from time to time. You are responsible
to check the rules for changes that are posted on the web site.
Major changes: member will be notified by email. However, that
doesn’t relieve you from your responsibility to check here.
Please
remember that we are here to have fun! So let’s race each other
clean.
If
we have missed anything or see something you
don’t think is needed let use know.
