BEHAVIOUR ON TRACK

• As for all ISO races, it is required you use your real name both in-game and on the forum. Thank you.
• Chatting during the race is strictly forbidden, talking during a qualifying session is only permitted for technical difficulties, but please whisper to the admin in charge to limit the disturbance towards other drivers. The code to add before your message when using whisper chat in the AMS is the following:
  
  /w adminname Message
  Example:
  
  /w Alberto Ibanez 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.

PROTESTS

A protest form is available in the main forum page (Top navigation bar) should a driver consider that a race incident in which has was involved himself merits disciplinary or corrective action. Any inappropriate comment regarding incidents will be deleted by an admin. Protests have to be logged no later than 72 hours after the race ends. Protests filed in names of other drivers will not be accepted. Any resulting rulings will be posted after this 72 hour period has expired.
