A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.

Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, let them retake the position and carry on racing.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the throttle pedal.
2. You will be penalised if you break our rules.

Note: Please use your full real name in game, on the forum and on discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a club member.

I'm very rusty! Only used it once in the last 3 years! Often wonder what my xbox controller pace would be vs the wheel now if I practiced for a week.
