~Grip Reduction is set to Real~

~All driving aids except ABS at 1 are disallowed.~

~The Top 12 in the championship points are “locked in” and guaranteed a place in the lobby.~

~The rest of the entries have to be in the lobby when it opens at 7pm for a short "Heat Race", the top 4 in that will make it into the main three races.~

~If anyone of the Top 12 is known not be present before race night, that opens up another quali slot..~

~If not enough people turn up for the "Heat Race" it is skipped and practise continues up to main qualifying at 7.50pm.

~Timetable will be as follows: 7pm, Race Room Opens. 7.25pm Heat Race. 7:50pm Qualifying for 10 minutes. 8pm Race 1. 5 min break between races for Race 2. 5 min break between races for Race 3.~

~Race 2 and 3 are Reverse Grid events.~

~Set-up changes between races are allowed.~

~Penalties are off.~

~Fuel Use and Tyre Wear is on.~

~This is touring car’s so bumping, rubbing and small taps are par for the course. But excessive and deliberate moves across half the track to take someone out are disallowed. Remember – be hard but fair. T8CA Stewards will review incidents post race and take appropriate action.~

~BTCC points system of We will use the BTCC Points System: 1st – 20 points; 2nd – 17; 3rd – 15; 4th – 13; 5th – 11; 6th – 10; 7th – 9; 8th – 8; 9th – 7; 10th – 6; 11th – 5; 12th – 4; 13th – 3; 14th – 2; 15th – 1. Pts will count for all 24 TOCA SEASON 6 Races~

~Foul language in the lobby and / or other negative conduct will result in points deductions and bans.~

~You are NOT allowed to swap cars during the course of the season. Prior to the Season Start please make sure you have decided your car / team, and passed the information on to me.~

~Rage-quitters who earn cheap poles subsequently will be penalised. If you wish to stop, pull over off the road at a safe place out the way. However if you DC you will NOT be penalised and forced to move over - it will count as a normal DNF.

~Mid race chat is largely prohibited. Writing down "sorry" is considered fine, but ranting and writing "why did you not wait for me to enter?" or "****ing stupid backmarker!!!" is prohibited.~ ​
