Formula E Spec Cup Championship - Rulebook

General Rules & Driving Etiquette

Motor 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 behavior towards fellow competitors and race stewards is unacceptable and will be dealt with severely. Also respectable on-track etiquette is expected of all competitors, including on-track battles, track limits etc.
