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."
The reason The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports is the first thing you read when you get to Turtle Racing League is because if you do not believe this rule applies to you, then you do not need to read any further because this league is not for you. You are encouraged to read and adhere to the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules and exercise Good Racecraft at all times, especially in turn 1.
Turtle Racing League - FLEX Racing Series
The Turtle Racing League is a league for Anybody that features weekly Spec Racing using single make untuned cars. The FLEX Racing Series has only a few basic parameters in order to create maximum flexibility in the race format. Race sessions will be on Friday night at 10pm Eastern / 9pm Central / 7pm Pacific. Qualifying for the 1st race will always be "fastest first". "Reverse grid" will be used for subsequent races if they are held on the same track and use the same car. "Reverse Grid" will be optional if the same track is used with different cars. Damage may be heavy or light. However, it may only be heavy in 1 of the 3 races in the schedule update. After every 6 races the next 6 races will be announced. This is not a points race series.

When Qualifying, It is Set too Race Alone, You will not See any other Turtle On track, Though the fastest lap will continue to change when another racer crosses the line with a Faster lap time. Do Not back Out of Qualifying, In GT6, there is no way to enter back in, after Qualifying has begun. Everything Will be said before the Qualifying and Race 1 Begins. Qualifying should be treated as a race, All Racers should have their mic muted too give all the racers the concentration at all times. Keep your mic muted after qualifying has ended, as it will send you right to Race 1. Every Qualifying Session will last 15 Minutes
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.
Dive Bombing
Dive bombing is unacceptable, and only results in incidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass on the low side. The trailing driver must also have gained at least a half a car length lead before braking begins so the leading driver can see his position and avoid contact.
Mics During Racing
From the beginning of the race, until the last driver crosses the finish line, your mic should be on mute. This allows all racers to concentrate on their driving to the fullest. You may unmute to tell a driver your track position if racing in close proximity. If a racer is on mic by mistake, please feel free to say "Mic Check" to remind all racers to check.
Race Incidents
Legitimate complaints are encouraged, they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Complaints should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race steward of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a video review by an independent steward. All racing incidents or racing related issues shall be dealt with privately and under no circumstance mentioned publicly.
Gentleman Rule
In 2 Situations the Gentleman Rule Can apply, first off, when racing with a group of racers around you, and hitting someone off track, you are at fault, you must give their position back and wait up for them, even if it requires losing positions. Second off, When going off track, and cars are around you, the on track cars have the right of way, and when it's the correct time, please cautiously return to track when it's safe too, even if it requires to brake or let off the gas pedal to allow on track racers past you. Failing to follow the Gentleman Rule, and getting a race complaint against you will lead to Stewards Penalizing you for not following the rule. The Basic Saying is, when you make a mistake, you are at fault and be a Gentleman about it. We do not want to be saying to everyone week by week that you cant go off track or push someone off track. We all make mistakes on track sometimes weather hitting someone off track, or going off track, but when happening, be a Gentleman about it. To Apply The Gentleman rule towards yourself, another gentleman way to penalized yourself simply by letting off the gas pedal for roughly 3-5 Seconds. This way no ground is gained. Please Know that Turtle Racing League Does NOT take penalty's very serious, we are all here to have a blast racing together. For the most part the first couple of times we will talk to you about what happened and make sure it does Not happen again. We all make mistakes off and on track, and we want to turn your mistakes into successful Racing by knowing not to do that again.
What Makes Turtle Racing League - FLEX Racing Series Interesting
________________________________________________________________________
Rotating Tire System
Based on the starting Tire regulation on the car, the next two races, the tire compound will go down 1 grade each race. For example, if the car has a 530 Performance Point, it will use Racing Hard Tires In Race 1. However in Race 2, you will use Sport Softs that next race, followed by the Last 30 Minute Race being another down grade on Sport Mediums. If a Car Start on Comfort Medium Tires for Race 1, then Race 2 you would Rotate to Racing Softs for Race 2, Followed in race 3, you would use Racing Mediums in Race 3. This is why it is rotating, and it's matter of weather you can run on different compound tires, and still run fast laps. This does NOT have a effect on FLEX Enduro Races.
Damage System
Race 1 and Race 3 will always be on Light Damage. But to Flex Things out, Race 2 will always be on HEAVY Damage. We all know in post Heavy Damage Races, a little damage can ruin your race. As Flex offers 2 Light Damage Races, Flex is offering you to challenge from making any contact with anyone in Race 2. In Rally Races, Damage will always be on Light, Including Race 2. All of the 1 and a half Hour FLEX Enduro Races will be on Light Damage, except special Nascar Races like the Daytona 500 or the Brickyard 400.
