For every on-track incident a driver is deemed at fault, they will receive a power limiting penalty, to be applied to both races of the next round. Once a driver receives 2 power limiting penalty, the next incident will result in a one-round suspension.
Deliberate dangerous driving will result in a two-round suspension, with the next offense committed after the suspension has elapsed will result in being banned from the league.
Drivers who act disrespectfully towards fellow drivers and race officials will be banned from the series. You agreed to act in a respectful and sportsmanlike manner when you signed up, so keep that in mind.

) in participating, I'm afraid I'll have to pass as I have Toshost's Super GT series, MonGnoM's GGTC series and True-blue-8's series on Fridays, so I don't think I could cope with any more commitments on Fridays lol, thanks very much for the invite though!
