Public outbursts, biased or slanderous remarks made against administrators will not be tolerated and will be dealt with accordingly. 1.3b: The Race Direction is performed by a set number of individuals (known as the ‘Race Directors’, simply ‘RD’ and ‘Disciplinary Committee’ or ‘DC’). It is the task of the Race Directors to control the smooth running of official events and the opening/closing of track sessions. Disciplinary Committee duties include stewarding sessions, the issue of penalties and disqualifications, the review of incidents and post-races appeals and deliberate on whether to inflict penalties on Drivers. 2.0 Pre Qualification 2.0a Laps set on the official Raceroom’s leader board server before 22:00 GMT+1 of every race day will be valid and accepted in grid sorting for the main server.

Car liveries content are officially set in Raceroom’s store, assigned officially by RRE Sector 3. 2.1c: At the moment Raceroom Racing Experience doesn’t allow customization of liveries. 2.2 ENTRY FEES 2.2a For the drivers there is a fee of 5 Euro to enter the pre qualifying and are free to set as many laps as they please during the pre qualifying period. There are no additional fees to the successful thirty entries. Licenses will be reset after each season. 3.0 DRIVERS' AND SESSION RULES 3.0a: Disciplinary Committee decisions cannot be appealed, with the exception of race disqualifications, race bans and season bans. An appeal must be handled privately with the head of the Disciplinary Committee. Drivers that continuously try to appeal penalties when they are not allowed to will be issued extra penalties at the discretion of the Disciplinary Committee. 3.0b: Race Directors have the final say on whether any session can be reasonably delayed or restarted to allow Drivers to re-join following a server connection loss, reboot or similar unfortunate circumstances that result in the disconnection of one or more drivers. 3.0d: Each event consists of a qualifying session and three races. All three races are 15min long. There is a 3 minute break between each session for everyone to prepare themselves. 3.0da Event Start times will be 19:00 GMT for warm up with qualifying starting at 20:00 GMT with Race 1 at 20:07 GMT 3.0e: For the first race, the grid will be formed by the order of qualifying. For the second race the top 8 of the second race will be reversed on the grid and everyone else will start in the position they finished the race one. In race 3 the top 8 of the second race will be reversed on the grid and everyone else will start in the position they finished the second race. 3.0g Points will be awarded to the top 10 drivers in each race as follows: P1 - 12 points P2 - 10 points P3 - 8 points P4 - 7 points P5 - 6 points P6 - 5 points P7 - 4 points P8 - 3 points P9 - 2 points P10 - 1 point Pole Position race 1 - 2 points Fastest Lap - 2 points 3 wins in the row – 3 points 3.1 General Driving Procedures 3.1a: The ESCAPE button is to be used when a driver is involved in an incident that causes terminal damage to their car, leaving them in a precarious place on the racetrack with the inability to remove themselves by any other means quickly. If a driver should complain that they have been adversely affected by another driver failing to clear their car from the racing line quickly, the offending driver may be subject to disciplinary actions. 3.1b: The In-Game chat must NOT be used during the timed Qualification and Race sessions. Only private messages are allowed, though spamming people with private messages is not allowed. The In-Game chat can be used after every driver on the server has finished their session. 3.1c: Drivers who deliberately make use of the in-game chat during a qualifying session will be demoted to the back of the grid. Use of the In-Game chat during the race will not be tolerated and disciplinary action will be taken against the offender after the race by the Disciplinary Committee. 3.1d: When exiting the pit-lane, drivers must remain within the white line defining the pit-lane exit at all times until they have completely re-entered the racetrack. If they should cross the white line marking the edge of the pit-lane exit by means of at least one tire, they will receive a penalty. See figure 1. Figure 1. The boundaries of the pit-lane exit are marked by a single white line. The end of the pit-lane exit is marked with a similar white line, but perpendicular to the race track edge. The white line must not be crossed when exiting the pits. Shows the racetrack boundaries in green and the pit lane boundaries in red. The red areas cannot be driven on unless the driver is exiting the pit-lane, or is pulling off the circuit to retire the car. 3.1e: Drivers must keep two wheels on the track at all times. The track is defined as the area within and including the white lines at the edge of the track. Where there are kerbs, these DO count as track surface. A driver will be judged to have left the track when less than two wheels are in contact with the track surface. In respect of the pit-lane exit, only at the point where the pit-lane exit and the track have fully merged does it count as the track. 3.1f: While it is appreciated it may not always be avoidable, it is discouraged for drivers to enter or exit the server during official sessions (qualifying or race), as doing so can distract other drivers. If a driver is seen to be leaving or joining a session an excessive number of times, admin may contact the driver in question to discuss this further. Disciplinary action may apply if it is seen to be appropriate. 3.2 Qualifying 3.2a: The cars will be subject to fixed setup conditions on server, meaning that every driver is going to have the exactly same setup with small personal adjustments on server. 3.2aa Setup is mostly fixed and provided by the Raceroom Racing Experience management. 3.2b: Blocking another car during qualifying, or performing actions that are or could be seen to be blocking, whether consciously or otherwise, is strictly prohibited and could result in disciplinary action being taken against the offending driver. However, a driver on a hot lap is always allowed to continue at high speed, it is the drivers’ task to create a gap in front of him on his out lap. 3.2c: Drivers are allowed to use the ESCAPE button to return to the pit lane. When stopping to press ESCAPE, the drivers must make sure they are in a safe location to avoid incidents. Should a driver cause an accident by dangerously slowing down on the track surface, it will result in a penalty. 3.2d: Qualifying duration is 7minutes and drivers are allowed to post as many laps as they can during that time window. 3.3 Formation Laps 3.3a: There will not be a formation lap for any races. 3.4 Race - General 3.4a: Recklessness at the start of a race will be judged more harshly than in-race incidents, as the hazards of race starts are obvious and all participants are expected to be aware of this and take extra care. 3.4aa Setup is fixed and provided by the Raceroom Racing Experience management 3.4b: The race will not be restarted under any circumstance because of collisions. However, in extreme cases of server disconnections the race can be restarted. This will always be at discretion of the Race Director and the decision cannot be appealed. 3.4c: Race Directors have the ability to apply or remove penalties at the request of a driver dependent on circumstance. If a penalty is wrongfully removed, the Disciplinary Committee will review the incident and a harsher penalty will be placed upon the driver for misinforming the Race Director. 3.4d: Penalties inflicted on the driver during a race have to be observed within three full laps of the notification of the penalty itself. Drivers failing to observe the penalty within the maximum time will be disqualified. 3.4e: If a notable amount of time is gained by a driver leaving the track surface, this is seen to be ‘gaining an unfair advantage off-track’. If the driver then goes on to set a ‘personal best’ in the sector that the offence occurred, the driver is likely to receive a penalty, dependent on the amount of time gained. Drivers must slow down to ensure they do not gain any unfair advantage from their off-track excursion. 3.4f: If a driver should gain a position as a result of leaving the confines of the track, this is also regarded as ‘gaining an unfair advantage off-track’, and must relinquish any places gained as soon as possible. Failure to do so will result in a penalty. 3.4g: Drivers recovering from an off-track excursion should take great care upon re-joining the track. Drivers should only re-join if it is safe to do so, that is, if no other car is approaching that section of track. Should this rule not be heeded satisfactorily, it is classified as a ‘dangerous re-join’, and the offender is likely to receive a penalty. 3.4h Pit-stops and pit lane starts are not allowed during the events 3.4i Only one compound of tire is available 3.4j Fuel consumption turned off 3.5 Race – Etiquette 3.5a: More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted. Any driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his position off‐line, should leave at least one car width between his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner. 3.5b: 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. 3.5c: Abnormal changes of direction within the braking zone of a corner are prohibited. If it should be brought to the attention of the Disciplinary Committee, a penalty may be applied. 3.5d: If an attacking driver is alongside a defending driver with at least a portion of the car, the defending driver must leave at least one car’s width of space between his own car and the edge of the race track for the attacking driver. The defending driver is not allowed to turn into the attacking driver, and likewise the attacking driver is not allowed to force the defending driver off the race track, as per article 3.5b. 3.5e: Collisions between drivers will be investigated by the Disciplinary Committee; if the collision is deemed avoidable, a penalty might be inflicted on who is seen to be the offending driver. 3.5f: In any case that is brought to Disciplinary Committee, the Disciplinary Committee will review the incident after the race to decide whether to impose penalties, based on the gravity and modality of the collision. 3.5g: Upon making contact with another car, resulting in the victim losing their place, either by leaving the race track or otherwise, the offending driver is required to give up their position as soon as possible unless otherwise stated by series-specific rules. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action. 3.5h: Drivers are allowed to submit tickets up to 23:59 on the day after the end of an event. This will allow the Disciplinary Committee to discuss all reported incidents. Submission of any protests must be done through to staff.wcsleague@gmail.com . Including timestamp, lap, corner and detailed explanation of the incident. Protests that are not correctly submitted will be disregarded. 3.5i: Only incidents that are reported will be investigated, if an incident is not reported the Disciplinary Committee expects the drivers to have solved the problem themselves. 3.5j Penalties handed down by DC will come in the form of either: Warning – 0 points lost. Half penalty – 3 points , Penalty – 5 points, Double penalty – 10 points or DQ – all points that round 3.5k: In the case of an incident that involves an offender and a victim, only drivers that are involved in the incident are allowed to report the incident. This will allow drivers to discuss the incident and solve the problem on their own, without “third-party” drivers stepping in and ruining this purpose. 3.5l: If a race is suspended and cannot be resumed, no points will be awarded if the leader has completed less than 2 laps or if no competitor takes part in the race. Half points will be awarded if the leader has completed more than 2 laps but less than 75% of the total distance. Full points will be awarded if the leader has completed more than 75% of the total distance. Furthermore, in order to be classified, drivers will need to have completed at least 90% of the leader’s overall race distance. 3.6 Championship 3.6a: Drivers championship is determined by the total points scored by each driver in the six main season rounds counted towards the championship total. 3.7 Prizes 3.7b: The Championship winner gets a 100% off code for 1 item on 3drap.it site for any item bought via on the site, plus free delivery. 3.7c: Any driver Disqualified post race for conduct on or off track forfeits any winnings across the whole championship, this can include but not limited to international wreaking 3.7d All prizes are paid out after full competition is completed and official standings are published 4.0 WCS Raceroom Championship Content 4.1 Car content: KTM X-Bow http://game.raceroom.com/store/cars/ktm-x-bow-rr-cup/ktm/ktm-x-bow-rr 4.2 Tracks content:
