Initial car allocation
Drivers interested in taking part in the series have to post in the entry list when it opens. Doing so implies accepting being assigned whatever car the admins choose to, which will be done based upon driver's regularity in the league, sportsmanship and fair driving as well as achieving the most balanced field possible.
A personal preference of car or driver can be indicated, but admins will not be bound by that. Drivers can also indicate a preference for a teammate, but this may result in being allocated a worse car to accommodate the request, or indicate cars they do NOT wish to drive, but only when stating the reason why.
Losing your car/Car switching during the season:
- Every full time time driver must announce his presence/absence when a race thread is posted.
- Any driver missing 2 rounds without comment or missing 3 rounds in total (regardless if they announce their presence or absence) will lose their car and it shall be vacated.
- Vacated cars shall be offered for 24 hours and anyone can ask for them after an admin has posted their availability. After the 24 hour period, the cars will be assigned in the following preference order:
- 1st: To the asking full time drivers with the most starts
- 2nd: To the non-full time drivers with the most starts
- Drivers can only switch cars once during a season.
- Full time drivers who give up or lose their car will have their number of starts reset to zero.
- If a full time drive is vacated by its driver once a race thread is posted, the admins will offer the car as a one-off for said race, then reallocate it as a full time drive after the race has been completed.
- Full time drivers are not allowed to switch to another free car after a race thread has been posted, unless the car has been offered as a full time drive by an admin on the same day as the posting of the race thread.
- Full time drivers dropping their cars after the race thread has been posted cannot take part in the race in another car. Admins can grant an exception if they estimate the requested car to be inferior to the car which has been dropped, or if the driver wishes to reclaim the car which he had dropped after the posting of the race thread.
- Cars can not be reserved in absentia (i.e. reserve the car for another driver).
One Off's:
- Every full time time driver must announce his presence/absence when a race thread is posted. Drivers who haven't announced their presence 48 hours before the start of official qualifying will have their cars made available as one-offs.
- If a driver declares his absence, his car shall be made available as a one off.
- Once a driver has chosen a one off car for a race, he cannot switch should another car become available for that race.
- A driver may drive for up to 4 different teams during a season as a one off driver.
- Admin reserve the right to deny a car to a driver if they are deemed too quick for it.
CHAMPIONSHIP RULES AND POINTS

- Drivers Championship: All drivers (including Independents) score points
- Total Cup for Independent Drivers: Only Independent drivers score points
- Manufacturers Championship: Only Manufacturers teams score points for their highest placed car
- Teams Championship: All teams score points for their two highest finishers
The championships will be run over 13 rounds consisting of 2 races each and use the following points scale:
Position | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th | Pole |

- As for all ISO races, it is required you use your real name both in-game and on the forum. Thank you.

The code to add before your message when using whisper chat in the AMS is the following:
/w adminname Message
Example:/w Juha Bos I have a problem.
- Respect the red light at the end of the pitlane.
- Respect all pit exit/entry procedures as listed in the race thread and driver's briefing.
- Drive Through : If a driver has to do a drive through, even if there is no pit lane speed limit, he has to drive through the pitlane at 100 km/h max (60 mph). If he doesn't respect this, he will get a 30s penalty at the end of the race.
- If you have a spin on the course, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure the track is sufficiently clear before you rejoin the race.
- Driving back to the pits on anything less than 4 wheels is not allowed in any session. Drivers must stop in a safe place and ESC out of the race. Failure to do so may result in a post race penalty.
- Race Control may request drivers who are circulating at a very slow pace to retire. Drivers must stop in a safe place and ESC out of the race. Failure to do so may result in a post race penalty.
- Drivers are expected to start the race with the intention of completing the full distance. Penalties may be given to drivers impacting other driver's race due to improper preparation or behaviour.
