Subjects! (peasants and concubines)
I have added a bit of very important text to the CRAP Commandments. Please read, enjoy and live your CRAPpy lives accordingly.

CRAP Commandments
(Racing rules and Etiquette)
0. BEFORE we even start racing we need to respect each other on and off the virtual track (on Gtplanet and PSN chat). It can't be stressed how important this is. Respect other opinions, apologise yourself where necessary, accept others apologies.
1. Deliberate and/or repetitive corner cutting is forbidden. Part of 2 wheels, on a 4 wheel car
should be inside the track boundaries (normally white lines). If you gain an advantage by exceeding the track limits simply give it back.
2. If you come off the track re-enter with care by looking to ensure the track is clear (look left, right, back and mini-map are your friend).
3. Rage quitting the lobby is prohibited. If you have to leave the race early, please inform the race steward about the reason.
4. Dangerous and reckless driving is prohibited. Mistakes happen but if you think you may have caused an accident allow the "victim" to regain their place ahead of you even if that means other drivers also pass you. Better to offer to give back a position in error and be told to carry on than to have the other driver feel silently aggrieved.
4b. It should go without saying that deliberate crashing or ramming is absolutely against our principles. If you think you might be petulant enough to do it in CRAP then please shut the door on your way out, you're not welcome here.
5. When being lapped you may stay on the racing line (this is more like older Formula 1 rules) but do not intentionally block the overtaking cars (see 6). Unlapping yourself is of course allowed. The driver of the overtaking car(s) is responsible for making the pass without incident. It's easier to see where you're going than whereyou've been. If it isn't then you're pointing the wrong way.
6. When on a straight you're allowed one change of direction before lining your car up for the next corner so no weaving to and fro to stop an overtake or avoid a competitor getting a draft/tow.
7. If thefront of the car behind is level with the front door (or driver's head) of the car ahead going into a corner then adequate track space needs to be left for the car behind throughout the corner. If the car behind isn't alongside they may need to back out and wait until the next opportunity.
8. Be aware of your surroundings and other drivers. Use mirrors and look left/right to see your opponents. Treat them as you want to be treated (sado masochists need not apply)
9. Dive-bombing, ramming and breaching the pit blend line are prohibited.
10a. Overtaking without incident is the mainresponsibility of the overtaking car as they have a better view of the other car.
10b. HAVE FUN AND ENJOY YOURSELF
