Explanation of a few common misunderstood rules
It is understandable that the rules of racing can be vague even to those that have a good understanding of racing etiquette and more understandable that some will not know them at all. Agreeably Enforcing all FIA Rules in sim racing would be pointless as many of the situations would or could not arise and would kill the fun altogether,however there are a few which we do enforce in the hope that everyone that joins our servers does not have their races ruined by a select few who are hellbent on destroying your funPlease understand our only aim is ensure everyone gets to have fair and fun races
The One Move Rule
20.4 Any driver defending his position on a straight, and before any braking area, may use the full width of the track during his first move, provided no significant portion of the car attempting to pass is alongside his. Whilst defending in this way the driver may not leave the track without justifiable reason. An example for the latter case is Lewis Hamilton’s weaving in front of Vitaly Petrov at the 2010 Malaysian Grand Prix, for which he received a penaltyForcing others off the track
20.5 Manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such as deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are not permitted.
The following is part of this rule 'any sudden changes of direction just before or within the braking zone are considered extremely dangerous, as they can leave the attacking driver nowhere to go. it is considered an “abnormal change of direction” under sporting regulation
Dive Bombing - Rights to a corner (part of rule
(Most common problem) The attacker must be at least halfway alongside the defender when they reach the apex to have a reasonable claim to this piece of track. Moreover, the attacker should not have achieved this position by carrying too much speed to make the corner — this method is called dive-bombing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general they all summarize that any move which has an obvious effect of causing contact with others and resulting in crashing another and which had been avoidable are at risk of being penalized according to severity, obviously we understand at times there is no other way to go and it is unavoidable which is understandable in partImportantly please remember that our only goal is to make sure that each and every one of you gets to carry on enjoying the fun and intense races that we enjoy with you all and rest assured that we know mistakes are made and we will never act against genuine mistakes
