Overview
The Turtle Racing League is a league for North American Drivers that features weekly SPEC Racing using single make untuned vehicles. The Turtle Racing League - TYRO Racing Series is designed especially for beginners that would like to try online racing. However, a separate division is also open to experienced drivers who would like to take advantage of the close competitive racing the series offers. The regulations and format for the TYRO Racing Series were carefully considered to promote tight racing and close finishes whether you are a beginner or an experienced driver. The two divisions in the TYRO Racing Series are: Division A - for beginners that are new to online racing, and Division 1 - for experienced drivers already accustomed to racing online. Race sessions are on Saturday night at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific and include Two - 30 Minute Races with a 10 minute intermission. Qualifying is for 15 minutes and the grid order is "Fastest First" for Race 1 and "Reverse Grid" for Race 2. Each car and track will be used for 2 consecutive weeks. However, they are staggered so any given car/track combination will only be used once.

Policies
The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports - "It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver, meaning the car that is attempting to execute the pass, to make sure that the pass is made cleanly and incident free."
You are encouraged to read and adhere to the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules and exercise Good Racecraft at all times, especially in turn 1.
The First Turn Rule - It is the policy of this league for you to hold your position in turn 1 and not try to improve it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. 4) If you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn.
Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to effectively avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers who are being careful and doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. You can not win the race on the 1st turn or even the 1st lap. If a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn.
