You must drive the same car for the whole season that you started with. IF you decide to change cars you will forfeit all your points in the championship from the previous car / team
No ramming or bashing of other cars is allowed. All Drivers are expected to to read and follow GTP's Online Racing Rules
Cutting chicanes & corners is not allowed. 2 Wheels must remain on the track.
Overtaking: clean overtaking is the responsibility of everyone on track. Any racing incidents that happen as a result of poor overtaking, the overtaker may be held responsible and penalized. *
If the defender is found braking excessively early to defend or to cause an incident they will be penalized.
**You are NOT allowed to overtake if order to make the pass its necessary to have wheels off the track in the grass or outside the white line boundaries.
EXAMPLE: At La Sarthe in the run from Muslanne to Indianapolis, if you have to cut across the grass in order to get by a driver while racing for position then you should not be overtaking. Or at Daytona trying to go two wide on between the turn 1 exit and turn 2.
This will be considered an illegal overtake & reckless driving which will be penalized
Track Position: If you gain a position by cutting a corner or pushing another driver off the track you must immediately allow that other person to pass you and give back that position back.
Blocking: Drivers are allowed one change of direction on a straight to defend.
Its not considered a block if a car stays on its racing line while in a turn
Lapped Drivers: Back markers must yield faster traffic at the first safest opportunity. Lapped
do not have to pull off the track to allow lead drivers by. Always allow faster lead cars to pass freely on straights.
Lead Drivers are not allowed to ram, push, or spin back markers off the track to get by - overtaking rules are still in effect.
Bump Drafting: NASCAR style bump drafting is not allowed.
(really - do i have to mention this .......
