Racing Series League Rules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section
1 - Starts and Restarts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1 - No jumping the starts at all. That
means no accelerating until the green drops. (no hanging
back to get a jump on the field) Leader is responsible
to drive at a consistent pace speed, no slower then the
pit road limit.
1.2 - Do not pass or be in the act of
passing before the start/finish line.(certain circumstances
are acceptable as long as it is to the right side)
1.3 - Burnouts and Tire scrubbing will
not be allowed.
1.4 - If there is a wreck within the first
5 laps of the race that takes out more than half of the
field, the race may be restarted.
1.5 - Restarts will be double file.
1.6 - If you are a lap down, you must
give way to lead lap cars. If you block the leaders or
cause a wreck trying to get your lap back you will get
a penalty per incident. Lapped cars are allowed to try
and get their lap back but we strongly urge you to use
your head when doing so and show the leaders respect if
pressured.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2 - Pits
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1 - Warn your opponents when you are
pitting or exiting the pits. (1 for "Pitting this
lap" and 2 for "Exiting Pits")
2.2 - During a race, if you are in the
act of pitting and the yellow comes out, you must commit
to pitting. Basically if you are on the apron or access
road, you must go through the pits. You can pit or drive
through but you are not allowed to drive back on the track.
(Penalties will be issued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 3 - Wrecks
and Cautions

and loss of points for the night) If this is done more
then twice, you will be banned from the league for the
rest of the season.

flag if under 10 laps to go . If you cause a wreck in
the process, penalties will be issued depending on the
situation.
3.3 - While under yellow, keep a .1 to
.3 second margin between the car ahead of you. (To check
this hit f2 + spacebar). Also pay attention while under
yellow, crashing under the yellow is unacceptable and
will not be tolerated.

be issued. (Depends on the situation)
3.5 - If you self spin to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 5 - Attendance
and Provisional Points

to all Delco Racing Series drivers. But you must run at
least one race before you have access to them.

be awarded 80 points for the race missed. Once a driver's
two provisional's have been used up, no points will be
awarded for following missed races.

driver substitutions will not be allowed.

is not allowed and you will be penalized if caught in
the act of doing so.

jumping around on the track due to internet connections,
you will need to park it in fairness to your competitors.
7.2 - Every driver must have their car
file uploaded to our site in order to be allowed to race.
(No skin, no race.)
7.3 - You must send your skin to the league
admin before you can race. It will then be added to a
skin pack for all driver's to download. Failure to use
the skin that you provided the league admin will result
in not racing that race.
7.4 - Reminder of rule 3.2, no racing
back to the yellow unless the race is under 10 laps to
go. When the caution comes out, lift off the gas and slow
down gradually so anyone racing around you has a chance
to also slow down. (If you are trailing the accident,
use your best judgment to avoid it but once cleared, slow
down.)
7.5 - Brake checking or intentional Blocking
will not be tolerated.
7.6 - Every black flag must be cleared
no matter what the circumstance. (So don't bug the admin
during the race about it because nothing will be done.)
7.7 - Every driver must use the same Sierra
ID as in which they signed up with, otherwise they will
be scored as two different id's...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 8 - Penalties
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Penalties will vary with
each incident depending on the severity of the situation.
Penalties will range from a warning to a loss of points
for the night(banned from league for the severest). It
will be up to the admin's to decide the penalty for each
incident and each incident can be protested unless otherwise
noted. If you wish to protest a penalty, you must first
send a copy of your replay with the incident in question,
and a reason why it should be overturned to the league
admin. The individual who is protesting must send in their
version of the replay or it will not be reviewed. There
will be a penalty forum located in the Delco Racing Series
forums, all penalties for each will be listed there. At
no time will anyone dispute a penalty on the forums, all
inquiries need to be resolved privately through e-mail.

We want everyone to understand that if
any driver consistently and/or continuously causes problems
on or off the track, we reserve the right to deduct points
for that driver, enforce a suspension, or ban them from
the league. We can all prevent this from happening by
practicing the guidelines listed on this page.
Please remember, this is a game. We're
all here to have fun, so let's keep that our top priority.
