Drop Races: There will be two (2) drop races available throughout the season to allow for real life commitments. The RD Star Mazda Staff understand that things may come up but please make sure before signing up that you will at least be able to attend six (6) out of the eight (8) races.

Incidents, Investigations and Penalties:
Please remember, the League staff will only review the first lap of each race as standard procedure - any other incidents must be reported before any review will be undertaken.

No report = no review.

Please try and remember the incident reporting guidelines: review, cool off, review again. Only after following the above process, and if you are convinced you still need to report it, should you let the league staff know. Send a PM to either Will Marquez, Kevin Watts, Abdul Ahmed or William Nowell. Please give as much information as possible during the report (time of incident, drivers involved etc.)

Any accusations or complaints aired in the chat during or after a race will mean a penalty levied on the person complaining or making the accusations, even if a subsequent official complaint gets found in their favour. We simply will NOT tolerate any post race finger pointing.

First lap penalty: If a driver causes an incident on the first lap of the race resulting in a major damage to another car, he will start from pitlane in the next race entered.

Blue flag: The driver receiving the blue flag is responsible of moving out of the racing line and give way to the lapping car as early as possible. In most situations, the driver receiving the blue flag will be deemed at fault in case of an incident with a front runner unless the incident is caused by the lapping driver's negligence.

Making contact from behind: In most situations a driver causing an incident by making contact from behind will be found guilty and penalized (a blue flag situation is one of the exceptions).

No Shows: If a driver does not post that they will not be attending a certain race. That will be considered a no show. Two or more no shows and the RD Star Mazda Series Staff can possibly remove that driver from league. Please if you are unable to attend a race, a simple post stating that you cannot attend will suffice.
 
I'm just going to throw my honest opinion out there on the issues being talked about. I think it's no better than cheating... You can't do it in real life and the only reason you can in iRacing is because of the off track penalty. They cannot put an off track there due to the traffic coming out of the pits... I know my opinion amounts to the two cents its worth but it really bugs me when people use this exploit in an official race. Yes I called it an exploit because in truth that is what it is... lol... It's just legal
 
Lets have a great race tomorrow, a little more tolerance on the early part of the race and lets not forget the old adage that is so true that a race is seldom won at the first corner but often lost there so lets take it easy, use the wide run-off area's we have at Daytona and avoid trouble. Its a fantastic track that should give us some great racing. Good luck everyone.

Dude its tomorrow m8. I'm still with me crappy net but Tuesday a new one is getting installed.
 
Dario's setup is pretty nice too. He shared it in a practice session, so perhaps he'll post it here too.

I'm still in the 1:51s in race trim, but I can do that pretty much every lap, so I hope not to get too far behind. :) I've got to take my son to camp in a few minutes, so I'll miss practice, but I'll be driving on the roads pretty much the same as in the sim to make it back in time for the actual race! :)
