• First penalty will be only a warning (unless it's a major violation of the rules). After that, points will be subtracted to the championship standings.
• A driver who violates Track Boundaries rules will be penalized in 1, 2 or 5 points depending on the level of the offense.
• Drivers violating Overtaking, Defensive Driving or Car Contact rules will be penalized in 1 point. If the same driver receives another penalty, the points penalty will double. So second time it will be 2, then 4, 8 and so on. Hopefully we'll never need to go that high.
• Drivers who don't do the mandatory pit stop will get disqualified and will not receive any points for the Feature race.
• If a driver wants to report an incident he must send a PM to me (KamyKaze1098) explaining the incident and what lap/race it ocurred. If drivers keep posting on the thread point penalties may be aplied.

Overtaking

• 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.
• You must establish substantial overlap with the car ahead before they reach the corner’s turn-in point to have the right to drive up their inside, or to expect them to leave inside room for you. At least the front of your car should be up to the driver’s position in the ahead car. The ahead driver has the right to be fully committed to the racing line of their choice without any interference if there was no substantial overlap before he turned in.
• If sufficient overlap is established before the turn-in point, then the behind driver has the right to sufficient side room. The ahead driver must also leave sufficient side room for the behind driver. This means that each driver has a right to their respective "line", or side of the track, right up to the exit point. Neither driver should squeeze the other toward the inside or outside of the corner during the apex or exit.
• If an ahead driver has clearly made an error to warrant a passing move, a behind driver may attack their position, with due caution and care, regardless of whether there was any pre-existing overlap. However, the overtaking driver must still avoid contact. Small errors by the ahead driver may not justify a passing move. The ahead driver getting a bit out of shape at times doesn’t give you an automatic right to pass. You still have to judge if their error allows for a safe pass to take place.
• Situational awareness is vital. Not seeing your opponent will not be a valid excuse if you are involved in an incident.

Defensive Driving

• Drivers are allowed one move when defending in a straight. After that move drivers can’t change their lane again until after the following turn.
• Anything aggressive such as sudden movements (when the overtaking car is about to pass and is very close) are strictly forbidden. In no case a driver can use his only move in a straight in this form.
• Deliberately squeezing a car beyond the edge of the track or any other unusual change of direction are strictly forbidden.
• Driving down a straight and placing your car off or opposite the driving line far in advance before the braking zone, forcing your opponent to take the outside line or a different line in general, is considered a reasonable strategy for defending your position.

Car Contact

• Car contact will be strictly regulated to ensure a disciplined racing environment.
• Any close or minimal contact with another car with small to no effect to the race outcome will be tolerated.
• Any contact that causes any damage to another car/s is deemed illegal and will be subject to penalties.
• Any car that gains a spot/s through contact with another car, must relinquish the said spot/s or he will be subjected to penalties.
• Drafting must be conducted carefully. You cannot bump draft another car if you are about to enter the braking zone.
• A car ahead of drafting pack cannot be deemed responsible for any incident/damage if he commenced braking at a reasonable point inside the braking zone. It’s the drivers who are behind responsibility to adjust to the greater speed and the longer braking areas caused by the draft effects.
• Reckless and overall aggressive driving will not be tolerated.
• Your goal on turn 1 should not be to get to the front, but rather to convert a double wide start field to a single file running order. Look ahead more than one car. Due to field compression, a compact field will run slower through the first few turns than a spread out one. Leave some extra space, but not too much. Drivers behind you won't be expecting sudden braking.
  

Track Boundaries

• Drivers must always keep 2 wheels on (or vertically in line with) the track at all times (unless stated otherwise prior to the race event).
• The edges of the track are marked with white lines and are considered to be a part of the track.
• The Rumble Strips are part of the track; however, all surfaces with green paint, either beside it or be the rumbles themselves, are not part of the track.
• Do not hit any objects visible or invisible (eg. cones, barriers, walls, etc.)
• It is the responsibility of the car returning to the track to ensure there are no collisions so that no other drivers have to maneuver or brake suddenly to allow you to resume racing. If there's a chance of a collision, wait and be patient as other drivers have the right of way.
• Also, if a driver unintentionally or intentionally leaves the track and gains a spot, he must relinquish that spot or he will be penalized.
• Drivers committing serious mistakes repeatedly or seem to have a problem with keeping the car on the track would be reported to the Stewards and could result in penalties.

At any given time during the season, drivers are expected to follow these rules. Any driver who deliberately appears to break any of these rules to gain advantage at any stage in the race or the season could be penalized by the Stewards.

To be honest rather have more mixed cars than the same. Alex's bmw is pretty well matched against everyone.

I'm using the 135i teaming up with Chris ( FRAG )
Colour yet to decide.
