CHALLENGE ETIQUETTE
When issuing a challenge to do battle:
- The challenger chooses the Battle Style.
- The challenger chooses the conditions for victory and handicap, if any (e.g.: time gap, best of 'x' runs, number of laps for GG, etc.).
- The driver being challenged chooses the venue (User-Made Course) and weather conditions for the battle.
- The driver being challenged reserves the right to deny any challenges to battle (If you are a ranked driver, remember that you must defend your position on the Hotlist at least once per month/season in order to remain ranked).
- The driver being challenged may counter a challenger's challenge; In which case the roles of 'challenger' and 'challenged' are switched.
LOTS Battle Style
In LotS, to log an official battle, only 2 Rivals can compete at one time. During an official battle, pitting is not allowed except under specific circumstances* (see: CMHV). Whoever Pits will automatically forfeit and lose the battle. There are 2 battle styles which is accepted for an official battle:
Cat and Mouse
Cat and Mouse is a rolling start race where one rival will lead and the second rival will chase. Before starting the race, the two rivals must decide firstly the style and gap, then who will lead/chase.
Sudden Death (CMSD)
The Gap (1, 2, or 3 seconds) determines the distance needed for the player to win when leading. To win the Leader must increase the gap between him and the chaser above the specified Gap. If the leader fails to do so, the two rivals will swap places and go into round 2. The chaser can win if the chaser overtakes the leader and maintains his lead until the finish line.
- The rolling start speed is not more than 68km/h or 40mph.
- The starting point is coming in to the first corner.
- To transition to the next round, the leader should switch lanes and slow down while the chaser will go into the front and slow down.
- The chaser is not allowed to draft the leader in the last straight to overtake.
Hot Version Style (CMHV)
The margin of victory is 1 Car-length (5 Meters:15 Feet) and will be judged by spectators in the lobby watching the battle.
- This form of battle may or may not include a u-turn
- The battle is always started with a 68km/h or 40mph rolling start
- During this type of battle, there will be NO PASSING ALLOWED
- *Pitting to repair is allowed between rounds, but not during a run.
Grip Gambler (GG)
GG is a standing start race where two rivals will line up side by side and launch the race with a countdown. The player who crosses the finish line first wins. A countdown "Ghost" is prefered in this mode. In most cases, a timed countdown is used using the Total Time in-game.
Options:
- GG1 - A GG where the end point is the end of first laps.
- GG2 - A GG where the end point is the end of second laps.
- GG1W - First Lap to warm up tyres and line up ready for race in Lap 2.
- GGH-# - A handicap given to a player where "#" is time handicap.
- GGR - GG Reverse, the race is performed in the reverse direction of the track.

*Grip Gambler + U-Turn
- The U-Turn is done at the end of the lap.
- To successfully turn the U-Turn, you must be on Lap 2 on a circuit course.
- To successfully turn the U-Turn, you must select a point BEFORE the FINISH line on a Point-to-Point course.
- The general turning direction is from right to left.
