Race starts

People practice for hours for these events – although accidents happen, we are very strict on any accidents that happen in the first lap with people trying to carve through the field. Particularly in a race that is an hour long, and drivers on different compounds of tyre.

We always encourage a SAFE first lap.

Passing and contact

A reminder that these cars are OPEN WHEELED so we expect them to be driven as such. Overtaking by panel rubbing or door banging is not acceptable. We don’t expect positions to be gained or lost in such a way. Patience is encouraged. The cars have DRS, which will be a contributing factor as in real life.

It is the overtaking driver who has the responsibility of making the pass without making contact. 

In general if the overtaking car is well alongside (more than 50%) at the turn in point, then it has the right of the line and the overtaken car should abide and ensure enough room for the pass to happen. 

Failure to get the car alongside by the turn in point will mean that the car in front has the right of line and you should back off and ensure no contact happens. The car in front may decide to leave you room, but you can not count on it. Any contact will likely be the responsibility of the overtaking car. 

If a pass is made when contact with the car/s is severe enough to push the overtaken car off-line or off-track -or spin, to lose the position-, for example because you overcooked the corner and were not able to stop the car, you will need to concede the position. Failure to do so will be penalised.

Blocking

Defending drivers are asked not to block. Generally, the one movement across the track rule is standard – but if the block causes the driver to move off track, that will warrant a penalty.

What is a block? – When you drive across the track with the intention of stopping the car behind from overtaking you. It may or involve making contact with the other driver.

How can we tell the difference between a push-to-pass and a block? – It is the overtaking driver’s responsibility to ensure they can get past the driver ahead cleanly. As repeated above, if you make contact causing the defending driver to bounce off-line or off-track – or spin, you will be penalised.

Pole position – 4 points
Fastest Lap – 2 points

Drop round

There will be no drop rounds for this championship.

There is a 24 hour cooling off period post-race to submit protests to admins. You may send and report upon an incident to an admin from 21:00 Tuesday (24 hours after race start). Once this window is open you have 48h to send your protest. 

All Protests need to be Time Stamped from replay

If any information is entered incorrectly, your report will be voided.

The Exiled Stewards will investigate the incident and then Exiled administration will announce the results of the incident reviews.

It shall be at the discretion of the admins to decide if any driver involved in an incident should be penalised. Unless it is clear to the admins that a driver was wholly or predominantly to blame for an incident no penalty will be imposed.

Please do not send in reports unless the incident warrants a penalty or warning for the offender.
