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. You mauy be DQ'd from race or championship for unsportsmanlike behavior.

• 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 race host 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!

Thanks for the heads up James! I had been loosely following the '98 season but can make an exception!

Looks like a few big changes around the place!

Nice! I'm in. I've been dying to try out that Primera... Too bad they don't have the Audi A4 available, and wasn't the Alfa 155 in the mix during those years..?

 

[Medilloni]

Weird, saw Joe on the server, it wouldn't let me join - tried lower case of the password and reinstalled the cars, still get 'game crashed, wrong password'

Oops, sorted

Hi Henri. As above

Nice! I'm in. I've been dying to try out that Primera... Too bad they don't have the Audi A4 available, and wasn't the Alfa 155 in the mix during those years..?

I had been hanging around hoping for another car and updates. Maybe next year .
The Alfa was early-mid 90s, these are late 90's spec. Not sure how the lap times compare but I would guess the alfa is a few seconds off.
