Other Rules
NO CHEATING OF ANY KIND
All races must be 100% wall free. 2 wheels must be on the track at ALL times (Ripple/Rumble strips are part of the track). There is no exception to the above 2 rules, if you touch a wall, intentional or not, your run is not to be submitted.
THE RACES
All of the races will be run in Arcade Mode.
AI Drivers - AI drivers are not to be used for any racing advantage. The AI's are not to be used for cornering or braking advantages. Contact with the AI's is strongly discouraged. If contact is made you must be 100% sure there is no advantage either to your line or race time for the run to be submitted. It is recommended that if contact be made then restart your race.
No HYBRIDS! of any kind. This includes "sharked" cars.
THE CARS
The car will all be from Arcade Mode, so there will be no settings. The only settings that are to be changed are ASM & TCS, they are both to be turned OFF.
SUBMITTING TIMES
You are only allowed to submit 1 time per race. All times MUST be submitted from the website. Go to the website & select "Submit Times" from the menu at the top of the page, then enter ALL the required information. Please make sure all information on the form is in the correct format (0:00.000). The DEADLINE will be the DEADLINE. No late times will be accepted. If you know that your time will be late please e-mail me in advance, if you don't you WILL get a DNF! If there are any questions about time zones differences, please ask.
TIME VERIFICATION
Time verification WILL be required from all drivers. An X-Port/Sharkport replay will be required to be sent in with your time submission. If you do not send your replay in with your time will receive a BLACK Flag, unless prior arrangements have been made with myself. Multiple forum members will view all questionable replays.
PENALTIES & DISQUALIFICATION
Penalties will be issued for the following reasons.....

Drive Through: When a driver has 1 "minor" incident in his race. For example 3 wheels off the road for a fraction of a second or a wall brush that slows the car by only a few kph.

Stop 'N' Go: When a driver has no more than 2 "minor" incidents in his race. The consequences for a Stop 'N' Go will be a time penalty added to your race time.

BLACK FLAGS: When a driver has clearly broken the "wall free" or "2 wheels" rule. When a driver has broken the "wall free" or "2 wheels" rule & gets a time advantage. When a driver has more than 2 "minor" incidents in his race. The penalty for a BLACK FLAG would be exclusion from the race results.

DISQUALIFICATION: When a deliberate race line is taken that breaks any Torc rules, when a driver has cheated in any way. A Disqualification is issued when you have deliberately tried deceiving people with your times or deliberately broken any of the rules.

The consequences for a Drive Through or a Stop 'N' Go will depend on the incident. At the very least you will be relegated behind all the drivers that completed a clean race.

FINAL THOUGHT
This season of Torc contains facilities for a penalty system for "minor" incidents in a driver's race. This does not mean that you are allowed to abuse this fact. You are still required to run a wall free & 2 wheels on the track race. If you have to watch your replay more than a few times to try & decide if it is illegal or not, I suggest that you run the race again. We are all responsible OLR drivers & should be reading the rules & posts thoroughly. Also we are all able to double-check the times before hitting that submit button. Remember, keep all of your replays until the season is over. This will help avoid any problems with verification. And most of all, enjoy yourself!

[T13R]

My last final exam is on the 27th of April, and you go and start this on the 28th... YOU ARE GOD! Great timing

You can be sure I'm in, but still discussing with partner what teamname will be.

 

[Mr P]

I wont say i'm not tempted




I'll get back to you on this one Pete:tup:

 

[Tony Randall]

I can almost see those two little figures on each shoulder ...left "Go-on you know you can cream-em": Right, "Hang on remember the frustration last time"

J/K Ron , whatever you decide hope you and and Lotus are keeping well. Be nice to see you both in series 12

 

[T13R]

Hmm it seems zer0h and I have come to a conclusive decision. We shall be LM Racing, short for Lucky Mofo's Racing ...if there is nothing wrong with it of course.

therefore,
Team: Lucky Mofo's Racing ( or LM Racing, as you wish )
Drivers: T13R & zer0h

 

[Tosk]

Welcome T13R, zer0h, GT3Mich, eggmann, Comrade, Bollocks #999

Course Pete, wouldn't miss getting my butt kicked in a Torc . Just doing some back channel chasing regards where I stand team mate wise before I officially sign up, But I'm there in one form or another

 

[Tosk]

Welcome Barbol, Dango, Flinx, PH.

@ TR, great to hear mate, glad you are coming back. :up:

So far the voting is a little one sided! With only 6 vote received, it’s still open!

BTW – Anyone looking for a team mate?

 

[Kelly]

I'm interested. Also looking for team mate (must have previous torc experience)

 

[Tony Randall]

Guess I ain't too fast on the draw, but I sure do takes-a few hits b'fur bitting the dust. I hails from the prarrie range where they brand the replays with the X-Port Iron. Reck'n I seen me a few Torc cattle drives in m' time. Sure nuff I ain't no Billy the Kid. But any pardner kin count on me to keep blastin till the last bullet. Look'n to hitch me up a team. Alls I ask is that any pardner see's it through to the root'n toot'n end.

Very good advertising Tony! you're hired if you're still on offer that is

 

[Dave A]

Count me in, I've not read all the rules because I'm hammered and it's late so I'll read them and choose my car tomorrow.

 

[Tony Randall]

Lotus. Be a pleasure to team up with you. You've seen my general pace in past torcs, I'm not on a par with your other half, but battle like heck for points to keep the team in contention.

So consider me signed on the dotted line. If you get a better offer or change your mind before the off, don't be afraid to say.. I gotta thick shell and will understand.

Meantime... any Ideas for a team name?

 

[Kelly]

It's a done deal then Tony 👍

No idea's on a team name yet, but my wee brain is ticking, prolly PM you in the morning with some stupid suggestions

 

[Mr P]

I will be teaming up with The Missing Link for this outing of Torc 👍

Teamname - The Usual Suspects

Good Luck to all Drivers and Teams

 

[Tony Randall]

Oki-Doki Lotus, I'll check my pm's later. Looking forward to it, should be a good hard fought but fun season, not a bum track in the pack, nice selection of cars and some classy racers turning up all the time.

[Tony Randall]

Congratts Pete, gonna be quite a rumble up top this season, just seen Slowpoke & Easyed and Hugo Boss & Arwin have just booked garages in the pit lane, and a nice share of welcome new faces joining the party too.
Dunno what I'm smiling at, Lotus and me have got to face this lot What D'you think Lotus? top fifteen individual finnishes and maybe top ten in the team standings.. is that pushing our luck ?

 

[LDM]

I am going to shoot for last, that way I won't be disappointed, although if flinx does not notice the rope tied to his bumper, you never know what may be possible. hehehehe.

Not pushing our luck at all Tony 👍 usually my target is around top 10 anyway We'll do just fine .... after a few beers

I'll drink to that 👍

I like your plan Lafe.. If I hitch up on your bumper he can pull us both round might slow him down a bit.. but I wouldn't count on it.. Lots of luck for the season Bud

 

[GT3mich]

I'm throwin a rope on to the back of Mr P's bumper.
I'll be sure to finish higher than driving myself.

 

[Tony Randall]

Could be the wave of the future.. Forget the drive through penalties, instead you get to "Tow a Slowie" (Don't mean you Jim).. it just rymes

Hey now, I resemble that remark!!

North South Divide



I'm very much looking forward to this series

 

[Tosk]

Welcome to Arwin, Hugo Boss, Alavilla, Hugh Jeers, SlipZtrEm, Easyed, Slowpoke, Littleg, Psyfalcon & Tommy

@ Arwin, sorry about that mate, I didn¡¦t ignore you, but had all ready checked the thread at RL & was checking the threads at other boards, before I posted. You must have posted in between. You have been added now ƒº

@ DODO, same as last season my friend, replays will be required by the race deadline for each race, unless arrangements have been made prior to the Deadline.
