Turtle Racing League : Enduro Series
The First Turn Rule - It is the policy of this league for you to
hold your position in turn 1 and not try to improve it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. 4) If you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn.
Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to effectively avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers who are being careful and doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. You can not win the race on the 1st turn or even the 1st lap. If a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn
Dive Bombing
Dive bombing is unacceptable, and only results in incidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass on the low side. The trailing driver must also have gained at least a half a car length lead before braking begins so the leading driver can see his position and avoid contact
- If you make contact where you know or even have doubts that you caused a driver to go off track or lose positions, you must concede and wait up for them. Mistakes happen, however leaving a caused accident is unacceptable.
Qualifying Procedure
We are going to do a 5 minute qualifying session and that will be how the grid will look for race 1, with race 2 being Reverse grid. If you didn't race in the previous race meaning race 1 and onto the next race you will line up up front but I ask those drivers to pull over to the side and go to the back of the pack then resume racing. You don't need to ghost back just start off the race and pull over and let everyone by and resume racing.
Track Limits Information
ALL DRIVERS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY - There is quite a few corners we have to be extra careful going around. Simply, the red and white rumble strip is TRACK, everything else beyond that (including light green tarmac is DIRTY) So if you have at least 2 TIRES on Track at ALL Times, then you're good. However if you go wide like in Turn 9 (copse) When returning to the track, if there is a car on track next to you, you can NOT push your way back on track by making contact with another driver, its your responsibility to let off the gas and return to the track safely. If you go off track, and when you turn back on to the track, we expect ALL drivers to lit off the gas for a second then resume racing to remove the advantage they gained in the corner. In Turn 15 (Stowe) is another one we all have to be careful in, as I stated, the red and white rumble is track, but everything beyond that is DIRTY.
- Just Remember, If you go OFF track, Return to track SAFELY, Let off gas for a second, and Resume Racing

ALL DRIVERS : Reminders
- If you hit someone off track, please wait up and give position back. 👍
- Be Careful when Existing Pits, If a car is coming into turn 1 as you Leave pits, they have the right of way into Turn 1
- Any Incidents should NOT be dealt in room, or pubically. PM your Division Host steward and we will take it from there.
- If your getting Lapped, the lapped car must hold his line and allow the leaders by.
If we have 16 or less show ups tonight we will merge to 1 room but still scoring will be based off divisions.
- Again, Please Be careful in the 1st couple corners! High Powered Car at a fast tricky track! It's a challenge for everyone which is what I want yet put your race craft first, it will be very important early on as well for the entire race 👍
And lastly, Have some Fun out there
