9. ONLINE RACING ETIQUETTES
9.1 This is not a NFS league. Be careful while driving on the race track and please respect other drivers. Reckless driving will not only spoil your racing but will also affect other drivers.
9.2 During qualifying session, please give way to other cars if you are on an out lap.
9.3 No race restarts so start responsibly. Make sure you don't collide with the driver in front.
9.4 Be careful when going into the first corner on the opening lap. Your tires and brakes
will take some time to heat up to their optimum temperature, so effectively you have to
brake earlier than you used to. There is always going to be a queue around the first
corner, so approach the corner with caution and be mindful of the cars in front of you.
There's no need to jeopardize your race (and others) in the first corner. You will
have plenty of time to make up ground.
9.5 If you are following a car in front of you, be sure to give some room when taking corners. Be prepared to brake early.
9.6 When you trying to overtake somebody, make sure you do it cleanly. Give some room to the other driver. If you pass a car just before the braking point, don't abruptly move into the racing line. If you cannot make a move stick, don't be frustrated. Keep your cool and wait for the opportunity to pass the car again cleanly.
9.7 If you have spun off the track and just before returning to the track, please make sure
that you will not inhibit/blocking other drivers. Please use the rear view mirror to check if the coast is clear.
9.8 Please give way if you are about to be lapped by the leaders. Race leaders when
lapping back markers should do so in safe manner. Failure to yield during the race will earn you a stop go penalty and probably further penalty will be given by the league administrators after the race.
9.9 If you are involved in accident, don’t quit just yet. Try to make it to the pits. Most of the time minor damage can be fixed in the pits. When you are trying to make it back to the
pits, try not to inhibit other drivers on the track.
9.10 If you hit the car in front and he doesn't spin, do not pass him. Let him regain his position.
9.11 Weaving on track is not allowed. Drivers are allowed to move only once (either to the right or to the left) to block the car behind. Drivers who are found not abiding by this rule will be punished.
9.12 If the yellow flags are waved, be on a lookout for any obstacle on the track.
9.13 Usage of headlights during day time racing is prohibited.
9.14 If you don’t win a race, don’t fret. Finishing a race is a big compliment to your driving skill.
9.15 Accidents do happen, and when it happened, please keep your cool.
9.16 If you are involved in an accident and can't make it to the pit, please retrieve your car to the garage as soon as possible. Failure doing so will result in penalty given to the driver.
9.17 Be respectful to other drivers around you. If you are faster, that does not mean you can bully the slow drivers.
9.18 Be punctual. We wont wait for you.
9.19 Be a good clean racer and have fun ☺
