https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gtplanet-online-racing-olr-rules-guidelines.111241/
Please familiarize yourself with these rules prior to the event.
More info on rules & guidelines are specified below to clarify expected track etiquette.
You are expected to race clean & fair, and to behave like sporting gentlemen at all times.
Dirty driving will not be tolerated..
Post-race penalties will be issued for rule violations, in order to preserve clean racing and fairness - you have been advised.
The in-game penalty system is switched to on. Since qualifying alone is a large part of the scoring this is done to discourage shorting of the track.
Horn beeping is forbidden. Horns have no place in a race. Please map your horn to a button you will not press inadvertently.
Text chat during races is to be restrained so as not to distract drivers still racing.
Being mean & nasty in chat is not allowed! And just really stupid, so don't do anything like that. If you feel hostile, keep your trap shut until you think to say something in a reasonable manner.
In case of any incident involving contact between drivers needs to be reported on this forum and not in chat. Note the time and location of the incident.
Report the incident privately via the forum, with details, in a timely manner (ie: soon after the race), so the incident can be reviewed.
Any overtly dirty driving should be reported immediately after the race where it happens,
so the driver may be educated, warned, reprimanded, and/or receive penalties, for the
preservation of enjoyment for all participants.
If you merely messed up, and didn't realize it, the best way to avoid poor interactions with
fellow drivers, is to accept the penalty, apologize, & chalk it up to experience & then move
on.
Most people are not too upset about some bumps, a goof up here or there, or even an
occasional spectacular race incident, so long as it's not on purpose, not often, and as long
as fairness prevails in the posted post race results.
Friends forgive race incidents & accept penalties.
Let's be friends here peeps!
Rally Specific Rules:
An event will consists of several Stages at three or more tracks using two or more specified cars.
Each Stage will consist of two Runs in which each driver will use a different car from the event list.
A Run will consist of a short qualifying session followed by a one lap race.
Each drivers best scoring run at each Stage will count towards the final standings.
Scoring:
A drivers finishing position in the qualifying session and the race is their raw score for each Run. The raw score for qualifying is multiplied by two and added to the raw score from the race. Lower is better at this point. To tabulate the final scoring we take each drivers best (lowest scoring) Run at each Stage. We then take the reciprocal and normalize so that the best possible score is a 1. This is the drivers Stage score.
The Stage scores for each Stage are then multiplied with the result renormalized to yield a best possible score of 100.
Contact:
Contact between drivers will mandate penalizing the responsible driver, with responsibility being defined below.
It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver to avoid contact. Any contact between drivers will result in the overtaking driver being penalized. The only exception is in the case of a driver reentering the track. A driver reentering the track is responsible for any contact. Penalties will be enforced regardless of circumstances.
Contact penalties consist of the responsible driver getting a raw race score equal to last plus one.
Race Director: cc570 / cc570
Race Stewards: YOU! & your fellow racers
All racers are expected to be stewards!
Save replays in case you are called upon to review an incident!
