are doing. So this year we are going to run a series with the most underused cars and tracks in #GTSport, the Gr.B rally cars and the Dirt circuits. All the info for the series is listed below, look forward to everyone coming to sling some dirt and do some 4-wheel slides with us. - Every driver is expected to adhere to the gtplanet forums code of conduct.
- Public verbal attacks against any IRS member, whether thru the forums, in-game lobbies, or voice chats is strictly prohibited.
- During races, use of the in-game chat for any reason besides communicating with race officials is strictly prohibited.
- IRS reserves the right to punish any of its members should they exhibit disruptive, offensive behavior that ruins the experience of others.
- Clean, fair racing is expected from all drivers at all times.
- Contact between cars is permitted so long as contact does not result in another car going off track, damage to another car, or any outcome where contact is deemed excessive.
- When defending track position, drivers are only allowed to make one move in defense. Excessive defending constitutes to illegal blocking.
- Overtakes are expected to done fairly and cleanly. Overtaking drivers are expected to use their better judgment to ascertain whether or not they have gained control of the racing line.
- If contact is made that results in another car going off-track, the offending car is expected to surrender track position to the other car involved in the incident as soon as possible.
- A car rejoining the track after going off-track must rejoin the track in a safe manner. Approaching cars will have the right of way over cars that are rejoining.
- Heavily damaged cars are expected to stay off the racing line until they get back to the pits for repairs (for Heavy damage settings), or until the auto-repair completes (for Light damage settings). Cars coming around heavily damaged cars are expected to safely get around these cars.
- Lapped cars are expected to give way to faster cars at the soonest possible opportunity and are not allowed to interfere with any on-track battles between faster cars. It is the responsibility of lapped cars to be aware of faster traffic coming through. Lapped cars deemed to have impeded faster traffic will be penalized.

- If a car gains an advantage by grossly exceeding track limits, drivers are expected to reduce speed just enough to negate any potential advantage gained. Repeated instances of gaining an advantage by grossly exceeding track limits results in a penalty.
- Any overtake done by grossly exceeding track limits is considered an illegal overtake and any offending are cars expected to immediately return the position(s) gained. The only exception to this rule is when the overtake is performed in avoidance of an accident that occurred ahead.
- Restarts can be called only if incidents involving at least three cars occurs at the following situations:
- If during the race start up until the first two corners, a Race Restart can be called. All cars involved must type R in the in-game chat, at which point the race director will type out RC to signal a race restart.

The Joker Lap is a traditional feature in rallycross racing.
Some courses are equipped with two routes: the main route, and the joker lap route, which each driver must only take once per race. The joker lap route typically shortens or lengthens the length of the track significantly, forcing a driver to make strategic decisions about when to take it. On one hand, taking it on the first lap allows a driver to get it over with; on the other, waiting until the end of the race can allow a driver to gain positions before the finish. Depending on venue, the joker lap route may be used as part of the event.
