MSA TORA Demolition Derby - Rules and Regulations

Welcome to the first ever TORA Demolition Derby! It is also the first ever series on GRID Autosport, in conjunction with Codemasters!

Please read the following carefully. By entering the series, you are confirming you have read and understood the rules and regulations.

General Rules & Driving Etiquette

Demolition Derby is a full-contact sport; there are no contact rules in this series. There is only one track rule to follow:

- Do not purposely block the path of other drivers, or purposely drive the wrong way around the circuit.

The only exception to this rule is when one or more drivers are involved in a collision at a cross-junction, and the drivers are on the wrong part of the circuit. They may return to the circuit by the nearest route.

TORA expects competitors who partake in its championships and meetings to behave in an appropriate and respectable manner. Insulting comments or behavior towards fellow competitors and race stewards is unacceptable and will be dealt with severely.

Race Meeting Set-Up

QUALIFYING

We ask that all competitors are on Xbox live 15 minutes prior to the start of the race meeting, and appear online. Where necessary, if each competitor could post "In" in the relevant race meeting thread on the TORA forums. Anyone who wishes to race without posting "In" will need to wait the race meeting organisers confirmation before being allowed to race.
TORA’s ‘Live Timing’ system will be updated prior to the race meeting with who your lobby host will be for qualifying, and will be updated during the meeting with the results. One invite will be sent out to all race entrants. This invite will also denote your qualifying lobby.

If a connection issue is apparent please contact the race director or lobby host as soon as possible and they will do their best to ensure you can connect to the qualifying lobby.

Competitors who are not connected to the host’s room at the start time without reason stated before the start time of the race meeting will not be able to take part in qualifying. The qualifying session will start no later than 5 minutes from the designated race meeting start time.

Settings

- Qualifying will take place only for the first race of the series
- This will take place in a pre-determined Time Attack session of three laps
- The grid order of first race of each meeting from then on is the reverse of the championship standings
- The grid order of the second race is the reverse of the results of race one.
- The grid is set by a "warm-up" lap

RACE

TORA’s ‘Live Timing’ system will be updated after qualifying has taken place to update you who your lobby host will be. We ask that all competitors remain on Xbox live for the start of the race. ONE invite will be sent out to all race entrants. This will denote your race lobby. If a connection issue is apparent please contact the race director or lobby host ASAP and they will do their best to ensure you can connect to the race lobby.

Competitors who are not connected to the host’s room, or contacted a race official to explain a delay, after 10 minutes of the race lobby invite has been sent will not be able to take part in race.


Parade Lap and Standing Start

Competitors will perform a single Formation lap to set the grid positions, before a standing start on lap 2 begins race conditions. We ask all competitors to listen to the lobby host for what speed they should drive on the parade lap - around 60mph maximum. Competitors are asked not to move until the lobby host reads out the grid order and confirms when they can move off. We ask that competitors do not race one-another in the formation lap as to not interfere with the grid order, any resulting infringements will be reported to the race director and penalties may be given.
