Point Structure
Each race will earn points as follows:
16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Note: If anyone is found to be making excessive avoidable contact on multiple occasions, there may be a "Safety Car" period, at which time they may be asked to go to the tail of the field as penalty for "rough driving". This rule is used effectively in many US racing series.

If you fail/refuse to heed this or any other officials' request, the race may be halted, as in everyone will be asked to back out of the race, and you will be kicked from the lobby. This is the equivalent of a full disqualification for that event. After which there may be a review whether or not you will be allowed to race in future events.

I know that this may not be addressed in the TORA rulebook, but this is a GT300 Championship Series rule none the less.

Did I cause this rule Mike?

No Dewey... this rule came about in the last race of the Miata Series.
I have never seen you even come close to being in that situation.

The guy who caused this rule caused a restart, proceeded to wreck about half the field at least once, a few twice, quite a bit of damage to all involved... and when he got me for the third time in a single race, in a multicar wreck, I called a safety car. Then he refused to serve his penalty, so I had to stop the event. That is when I used the button that never gets used, the "kick from lobby" button.

Due to Daylight Savings Time in the US, the remainder of the GT300 Series US' race time will be 8PM Eastern, 7PM Central, 6PM Mountain, and 5PM Pacific.

GMT/Europe/Australia race times will remain the same: 12 Midnight Britain, 1AM Europe, AM Sat Australia
