Crew Chief is Mandatory!
From this event onwards the use of
Crew Chief will be mandatory in R3E Club Racing. This is due to the increasing number of avoidable incidents caused by drivers pushing each other off track, largely because of a lack of awareness of their surroundings.
Crew Chief is completely free to download and use and is very easy to install. It's main function is that it acts as a spotter, giving you audio warnings when other cars are alongside. This hugely increases driver awareness and leads to far less "pushing and shoving" type incidents while racing.
It's so simple to download and install, and the benefit to everyone in the race is so great, that there really is
no reason not to use it. That's why everyone will now be expected to do so, to increase racing quality for all.
You can download
Crew Chief from the link below (S3 forums). If you have any questions about how to use it, please post in the linked thread or ask here in the event thread and I will be happy to assist.

The Golden Rule
The most important rule we have here on RD is still being ignored by some drivers. Another report was received after last week's event, and another driver has been given a 30 day ban.
I don't know how I can make this any clearer guys... you
will not get away with breaking the Golden Rule! Is it really worth the risk of a 30 day ban just to finish a place or two higher in a club race?!
Accidents happen and that is totally fine, but please respect your fellow drivers by following the Golden Rule!
Golden Rule said:
If you hit another driver during a Club race and disadvantage them, you are required to slow (or stop your car if necessary) to let the other driver regain the position on you. This shows respect to your fellow drivers and will encourage drivers to be more careful. Please use some care when letting the other driver regain position, and do not immediately stop your car on the racing line where it can cause further accidents.
