A message to all Drivers
If you run off track, you have to check and see that its clear before you re-enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.
When entering the track from the pits stay off the racing line until you are up to speed and do not race on your out lap. Let other drivers by in qualifying.
On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car. Remember, you've made the mistake by going off so let them by cleanly.
Golden Rule

Be 100% sure it's not your fault and just carry on like nothing happened and take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
Play on the safe side and wait for the affected drivers, knowing 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a complete lift of the gas please if it is safe to do so.
You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

A great car designer once said:
"Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere."

That car designer was Colin Chapman

I've been away for a few weeks due to scheduling conflicts and technical difficulties, but I should be good for this one.

I've missed you......kind of. My heart and nerves say otherwise since I got a break from either being chased or chasing you like my life depends on it

Seriously, good to have you back

It's such a bummer that he single-handedly killed some of the best drivers to grace the tarmac with his "lighten and simplify" mantra.

Well, I guess he's not entirely at fault. There used to be a lot of trees around most of the circuits back then and no barriers. What a time to drive, right?

Yes and no. The entire fraternity of F1 is to blame. They were all doing whatever it took to win and get ahead so safety didn't matter to any of them until Jackie Stewart got enough of it and stood up to all of them. Then the drivers saw the wisdom and realized that they had a say and power to correct the abuses that the Machine had been doing to all of the drivers.

It's important to remember that during this time, the public didn't wear seat belts, smoking was cool, even while pumping fuel etc etc. We've all learned and grown and that's a good thing.
