TCR GP2 World Championship (Registration Opens Summer 2014)

RULES AND DRIVING ETIQUETTE
The "TCR GP2 World Champtionship" is a non-contact sport, its all about the driver & sportsmanship. But, some contact might be unexpected or unavoidable. If we hear any reports on lag from a driver, please report it to me and I will tell the driver who is causing the lag to fix his/her connection. The only possible penalty for lag is to start from the rear of the field to avoid any first lap collisions.

I expect each and every competitor that attends at any of the championship meetings to behave and communicate in a respectable manner to every single competitor and steward. If you feel a comment may be offensive, hurtful, etc., then please don't say it at all. On the track, if you feel you gained a spot unfairly, then please give the spot back UNLESS the other driver(s) have either spun or crashed.

You may get only one block per straightaway per vehicle. Any second movements that get reported to the Stewards will most likely result in a lost of positions, depending on the effect of the second block. It is not considered blocking if the driver is getting prepared to enter a corner, which will give that driver the right to move to the appropriate side of the track to take the corner, if there is any sufficient room.

If at any moment of the race a driver goes off the track, please be very watchful when you see that driver joining the track. Depending on where the driver went off depends on the action everyone has to take. If the driver is rejoining the track at the exit of the corner, then that driver has to wait until all drivers pass by. If the driver is rejoining the track on a straightaway, then all oncoming cars must give the rejoining driver room to enter the track in a safe manner. Failure to comply to this will result in lost positions, depending on the severity.

All racing and passing must be made on the race track. If a part of a track gives you a dirty lap, you are not allowed to use that part of the track. If you use the run-off of the track to gain positions, then you may either be asked to give all spots back or lose positions at the end of the race if you fail to do so. You may use all the run-off you want if you are avoiding a wreck.

You have the option to be a team of two or a privateer entry.


CHAMPIONSHIPS
The "TCR GP2 World Champtionship" will have the use of two championships. These championships are: Driver and Team.

DRIVER CHAMPIONSHIP: This championship is simple and straight forward. All drivers are by themselves when earning these points. The points will be scored starting at 200 for first place and then subtract one point for every position down.

TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: This championship is to determine the team with the most points at the end of the season. Both drivers will score points for their team. A team can only have two drivers.


You may use 1 reserve driver per team.  Reserve drivers will help you in only the team or privateer championships.  Reserve drivers will score their own driver points.  All reserve drivers must use the same number as the driver they are reserving.  If you do sign in as a reserve driver, please mention it in either the sign in thread or in a PM to me on either here or on XBOX Live.


RACE DAY

All qualifying will take place a day before the race.  Qualifying will be 15 minutes long, The session will be 20 minutes in total length, with the 15 min (+Lap you are on), the remaining 5 minutes is to gather lap times.

RACE PROCEDURE
Each race weekend will consist of 2 rounds. Round 1 will be based off of Qualifying from the day prior, and Race 2 will be based off of results of the prior race. You MUST remember your finishing position or your result will be listed down as DSQ and you will recieve NO POINTS.
Race will begin with a Warmup Lap followed by a gridding, a time will be called out and the race will begin. If you have a jumpstart report from 3 or more witnesses your race result will be a DSQ and you will get a penalty for the next round. If you infract on the last round your result will be modified.

Once the race starts, I expect clean racing from everyone and hopefully a good race. A caution will be thrown when two or more cars are involved in an incident. Off-road excursions will not throw out the caution. When the caution is thrown, the leader will pick up the field at a slow speed and pace them around the track until all drivers have caught up.  If the caution is still out at the last turn with three laps to go, all cars will stop in the final corner and there will be a two lap shootout from there. There will be no more cautions once there are two laps to go. All restarts will be two-wide. Whoever is in first gets choice of left or right side. Odds have to be in the same line as the leader and evens will have to be in the same line as the second place driver.

At the completion of the race, I will record the finishing results and tally up the points. No bonus points will be rewarded. So, you could lead all the laps, but wreck on the last lap and not get any points for all of that leading.  Anyone that lags out before the conclusion of the race will be placed in the back of the grid.
