These guidelines are designed to promote fair and sporting behavior during online races in GT5
Important Notice: Please note that these guidelines are not the universally agreed rules for online racing (OLR) and as such should not be considered as definitive. More detailed "Official OLR" standards are still in discussion between the relevant staff members from various GT boards, and therefore are still in preparation. This "Code of Conduct" is designed to be a straightforward reference guide to acceptable behaviour for online racing. Note to moderators: Please modify this post as necessary.
Online Racing Rules
- The position of other drivers must always be respected
- Aggressive driving is strictly prohibited
- Contacts and collisions must be avoided at all costs
- Pushing other cars in turns or pushing them off the track is strictly prohibited
- Leaning on other cars is strictly prohibited in any situation
- In case of too-late-braking before a turn, drivers should seek any alternative to a collision with cars infront - including going off the track due to his own error
- When defending your position, driving line can be changed only once per duel (going off line and returning to previous line)
- If you gain a position as a result of an accidental impact or shortcut etc., you must allow the other driver to re-pass you when in position to do so. If you cause the car you've hit to spin out of track or got stuck in sand/grass, you have to wait for him to get out, overtake you and then continue the race.
- It is prohibited to commence returning to the track after going-off before you're certain that you'll be no danger for other cars on that section of the track
- When exiting the pit-lane you have to obey the safety pit-exit-line
- Cutting the chicanes or "shorting" the track at any point is strictly prohibited on all parts of the track, including the asphalt-areas in behind out-of track-lines
- Drivers are obliged to follow the race so he can let lapping cars pass when it's needed. Deliberate slowing-down of lapping cars is strictly prohibited
- Drivers behind a car allowing lapping cars to pass must refrain from overtaking him until all faster cars have passed
- When approaching the turn/apex of turn, the car which "holds" the inner side of turn has entrance-advantage and other driver(s) must refrain from endangering him by his actions
- It is strictly prohibited to look for a pass on places where configuration of the track does not allow for many cars to drive in parallel, or on spots where it could endanger other drivers on track
- Drivers who are using PS2/PS3 controller MUST make additional effort in driving due to the fact they can't use side-view, and their perception of the other cars is thereby limited - extreme caution while maneuvering is required
- If a driver wants to retire from a race, he must not exit the race. He must find a position on the track where he will not endanger other drivers, "park" his car and wait for the race to end
Time-Trials Rules
Achieved time is valid if the following rules are applied during time-trial:
- Car's specs must be in values demanded by particular Time Trial
- At least two wheels must be on the track at any time
- Car must not have any collision with objects on or around the track during whole Time Trial
