TCR Production Car Championship - Rules and Regs
Racing and Driving Etiquette:
The TCR Production Car Championship is a non-contact sport. But, some contact is expected or unavoidable. If you feel that you have been involved in intentional contact whereby you have lost ground in the race, please take 5 minutes to file a Report within 48 hours whereby the Stewarding team will privately review it and decide what action is taken,
We 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, Steward and Race Marshall. If you feel a comment may be offensive, hurtful, or unnecessary then please don't say it at all.
Track Limits:
The track limits are determined by the solid white 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 will be 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.
If at any point you leave the track, you must wait for a chance to return, at NO point may a driver return to the track into oncoming traffic.
Driver and Team Entry Rules:
You have the option to be a team of two drivers, or a single privateer entry. Teams must use both cars!!
The TCR Production Car Championship will have the use of Two championships. These championships are: Team and Privateer, as well as an individual Drivers championship.
There will be no allowed Car Changes after initial Sign Up. Once you have signed up with your team and completed your first Qualifying/Race, you are then 'locked-in' with your choice and current Driver line up for the remainder of the series, however a new driver may be added to a spare seat in a team entry if they have not yet competed. Privateer entries may only become a team entry IF the original Privateer driver and the added driver(s) have not yet completed a round.
Championship Scoring:
Drivers Championship: All drivers are by themselves when earning these points. The points will be scored starting at 200 for first place and then subtract two point for every position down.
Teams Championship: This championship is to determine the team with the most points at the end of the season.
Privateers Championship: This championship will be run for drivers that decide to enter as privateers. Whichever driver is in that car for that race scores points for the privateer championship.
Substitute Drivers: For the length of the entire series, a team may make use of a substitute driver if a full time driver cannot make a meeting. This substitute driver is eligible to score points for the drivers championship, and towards the point 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.
A 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.
To register a substitute driver, please sign them in to the designated sign-in thread with the correct information, for example: "Driver A [Sub For] Driver B"
Race Format Rules
