Penalties

A championship gives us the opportunity to deduct points or add time as a penalty. Below are the penalties for this championship. Please report incidents to the host. That will help to maintain the high standards of driving we are accustomed to in these events. For multiple unsafe actions within a single reported incident, the time penalties and point deductions are cumulative.

Golden Rule: if you break the Golden Rule, all points will be deducted from that event. Normal procedure via formal report and internal discussion within RD staff if there's an disagreement.
Unsafe overtake/defending or dive bomb: 5/10/30 second penalties for each case.
Track Limits: 5/10/30 second penalties for gaining an advantage outside of tracks limits.
Ignoring blue flag: 2 points taken off for each case.
Dangerous Driving: 2+ points may be also deducted for any unsafe actions causing an incident (e.g. unsafe rejoin/unsafe pit exit/swerving on the straight etc.)
All reported incidents and penalties to be judged by host (Brian) and co-host (Han) via the usual PM system. Gentlemanly actions, or otherwise, after an incident may effect the final penalty awarded.

See here for a general guide on rules of racing and some examples of incidents that could result in a penalty.

See you on track!

Welcome fellas!

Plan is to run a prologue, so there is VIR plus a dry run before having to pick a final car for the championship.

Shed 17 · Jan 17, 2023

Hi Brian
I can’t make the prologue or the first round but OK for the remaining four. Can I join with the Saleen? If not happy to go on the reserve list for now.

The Almighty Snark · Jan 17, 2023

Oh nice! Unfortunately I won't be able to make most of these but looking forward to the results/discussions!
