General Rules & Driving Etiquette

Sports Car racing, as defined by TORA, is a non contact sport. It is understandable that on occasion some contact may occur that is not expected by either party, for example due to lag. Competitors with 'lag' issues will not be penalized, but may be asked to improve their connection, if the issue is persistently hindering other's experiences please see connection section.

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

Competitors who are being followed on a straight part of a track by another car may move their position on the track ONCE to defend, any further sufficient movement outside of cornering will be deemed as weaving and you may be reported to the race director or head steward after the race.

If a competitor leaves the track at any time, it is advised that extra caution is taken not to impede other drivers when rejoining, please check and look before rejoining the track. Common courtesy stipulates that a driver in a dangerous position on the circuit should alert oncoming drivers of their position to avoid additional incidents, (essentially the yellow flag rules.)

Track Limits
The track limits are determined by the solid white/yellow lines either side of the track. At all times, two wheels must remain on this part of the circuit, unless of an occurrence where it is near to impossible to keep two wheels on the track, like avoiding a collision. During a race meeting, each time the track limits are not adhered to, a warning will be given. Each driver are allowed five warnings of all four wheels leaving the track via the inside of a corner, at any part of the circuit. If a sixth and subsequent "corner cutting" occurrences happen within a race meeting, then that driver will lose a position for each corner cut. Again, if a corner is cut to avoid a collision, this would not be given a warning.

The track limits must be adhered to in the event of gaining an advantage whilst having an on-track battle. If a driver overtakes a driver by getting all four wheels off the track, the driver must give that position back before they may continue the race. If the driver which was overtaken backs off heavily either through incident or "mechanical" failure, then the position will not need to be given back.

2012 TORA MSA ISCC Championships

The TORA MSA ISCC series will take place between the 29th of July and the 25th of November 2012 in an 8 race championship with spans THe United States. The series will have 3 championships up for grabs.

DRIVER CHAMPIONSHIP

This will be a championship fought by each driver for themselves. The total amount of points at the end of the series, minus the lowest scoring round from their overall points will be their final points total and will result in their position in the overall drivers standing at the end of the year. This championship is for teams and privateer drivers. An additional 10 points will be added to each driver for every race they turn up to that will be added to their points total at the end of the season.

TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

A team will be made up of a minimum of 2, and maximum of 3 drivers, all driving the same car in the same class. This championship will be scored by the total points score for the highest 2 finishing team drivers per race over the course of the championship.

- Team Car changes
Once a team has chosen their car they are to remain in the car for the remainder of the season. Any change of car with in the same class will result in 10% of a teams total points to be removed from their total (this includes privateers even if they are to change from a privateer to a team) Should a team change car to a different class, all points earned in the previous class will not be carried over to the teams new class and they will start at 0

- Team Driver Changes
From the start of the series, the full time driver line up may have a maximum two driver changes for the entire series. If another full time driver change occur, the team will lose the the points earned from the previous round of the championship (only 1 races worth). A fulltime driver change would need to be applied for via a new entry form as per championship sign-up.

- Substitute Drivers
For the length of the entire series, a team may make use of substitute driver if a full time driver cannot make a meeting. This substitute driver is eligible to score points for the drivers championship, and the points for the team they are driving for that meeting. A team has a maximum of 2 substitutes per season. Any further substitutes, and the replacement driver will not score points for the team they are driving for. Substitute drivers must be made aware to the series runners before commencing the race meeting itself.

The substitute driver can come from an existing team, privateer, or any other friend. A substitute driver may only score points for the team they are driving for in any particular race, and must remain in a single car/team for an entire race meeting.

PRIVATEER CHAMPIONSHIP

Competitors may sign up to race without a team and race in the Privateer category. These drivers will compete one another in the various classes to win the championship.

Race Rules

Safety Car Rules


There is no Safety Car in place for the ISCC due to the nature of multi-class racing. This is an endurance race and it is up to you to keep your car on track and out of the wall.

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 should no later than 5 minutes from the designated race meeting start time.

Settings
- A 5 second roll off delay will be in effect to accommodate a greater opportunity for clean running and driving concentration. Collisions will be set off, and damaged will be simulation.
- Qualifying will be set to 15 minutes in which you must set your best lap. An extra 5 minutes will be added at the end for the lobby for hosts to collect times before competitors finish the session. "Clean" qualifying laps take preference "Dirty" laps. A slower "Clean" lap will start the race ahead of a quicker "dirty" lap. Make it count!
- Once Qualifying is over, ‘Live Timing’ will be updated along with who will host the various racing lobbies. TORA will ensure that this process is completed as quickly as possible but please expect a minimum of a 10 minute break after the qualifying session for which the TORA team will set up race lobbies.
- Any driver who had not set a qualifying time will be able to join the race at the back of the field and make a pit lane start.

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.

Race - Grid will be the results of the qualifying session. All drivers with "clean" laps in qualifying will be before all drivers who set "dirty" laps. The race begins in this order by a rolling start. Races will take pace over a pre-determined amount of time. Please see the Season Calendar for details.

Rolling Start
Competitors will perform a single Formation lap to set the grid positions, before a rolling 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. 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.

To achieve a rolling start the competitors may be led by the lead car until the start signal is given. All rolling starts must be in 2 x 2 formation. Once the lead driver reaches a pre-designated section on the track (usually the final corner), they shall let the pack bunch up side by side in a two by two formation. the lead driver is given the choice what side he wishes to begin the race on, and all following competitors must follow this lead.

When all drivers are in position and the field are all on the start / finish straight, getting confirmation from the last driver that all are in position, the lead driver may start racing conditions by shouting "Go" and accelerating.

Under no circumstance shall any competitor be allowed to pass the vehicle in front until they have passed the start and finish line.

- Full Race Restarts
If for any reason we cannot start the race by 9pm BST, (a race start is defined as having at least 75% of the racers in the lobby after sending 3 invites per person), then the event shall be rescheduled for a later date. It is at the discretion of the staff whether or not the whole event will be re-run or the race itself.

Mandatory Pit Stops

There will be 2 mandatory pit-stop during each race. The first stop must be made within the first 25 minutes of the race, the second can be made anytime after the first 25 minutes of the race. Failure to adhere to the rule will result in a 1 lap penalty that will be taken from the drivers finishing distance. If you make two pit stops within the first 25 minutes (i.e. you recieve damage after your first pit stop) you must still make a further pitstop after the initial 25 minute period in line with the rest of the field.

Settings
- Collisions during all races will be on, and set with Simulation Damage. TCS, Driving Line and Normal/Simulation Steering are the only allowed driving aids that may be used. ABS, STM, Auto-brake and Auto-gears are prohibited. Manual gears must be used but it is up to the competitor if they wish to use the clutch or not.
- The race will be set to a pre-determined time limit which the lobby host will make aware to the competitors in the lobby.

Race Etiquette

-Slower cars (Those who are going down a lap to any car in any class) are to hold their racing line. Do NOT move over for the faster cars as you may be moving over into their path. Faster cars are to find their way around the slower cars. Failure to adhere to these rules will result in the following penalties.

1st offense- Warning
2nd offense- One lap penalty that will be taken from drivers finishing distance.
3rd offense- Exclusion from the race.

Success Balance

There will be No success Balance in this championship- Lobby's will be separated by 4 seconds (no matter the number in each lobby) so that at the start each lobby is down by 4 seconds from the get go (Lobby A is at 0, Lobby B is at 4 seconds, Lobby C is at 8 seconds etc.) this has been changed due to the large fields we now have and lobby 6 isn't close to a minute behind already.

Lobby Hosts and Staff Harassment
PLEASE DO NOT INVITE ANY LOBBY HOSTS OR STAFF TO PARTY'S OR PRIVATE CHATS OR SEND THEM MESSAGES VIA XBL 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE RACE MEETING OR AT ANY TIME DURRING THE MEETING OR 30 MINUTES AFTER THE MEETING! we are trying to organize the evenings race and going into those chats, replying to those messages or getting those invites slows down the nights meeting significantly! If you have questions post them in the race thread as we have a designated person in the lobby set up party that keeps an eye on the thread for such a thing.

Penalties for violating above post are as follows
1st offense- Pit lane start regardless of lobby start position
2nd offense- 1 lap taken away from final result
3rd offence- exclusion from the race with out points!

Registration
If you have registered for a car (Team's and privateer's) and you do not turn up for 3 races you will be removed from the entry list and the cars you registered for will be placed back on the availability list, you may re-register for the series at any time. but will be at the discretion of the availability list so you may not get the car you origionally registered for.

Car Builds
Cars are to be built to the rules layed out on the car build sheet provided. Should a car not meet those requirements you will be excluded from the race results.
