3.1. VRR is a clean racing environment. Tough, but fair competition is expected. Accidents will be reviewed after each race and post race penalties may be assessed.
3.2. Touring Car racing is generally known to be a rougher racing environment, some contact on track is to be expected and will still be reviewed but with some more leniency.
3.3. Drivers attempting to lap other competitors may need to use flashing lights as well as patience in overtaking.
3.4. Drivers being lapped must pull off the racing line due to the length of the races to ensure no hazard is created.
3.4.1. Drivers in danger of being lapped by the leader are not permitted to defend to stay on the lead lap. Drivers who have fallen further on track positions behind may not fight toward gaining their lap back, and will be penalised if determined to be holding up other cars ahead of them in the race.
3.4.2. Proper lapping etiquette on straights is to pull down to the inside line well before the next approaching corner and let the lead lap cars by until there is a safe gap to pull into.
3.4.3. Proper lapping etiquette in corners is to pull over to the outside of the corner to let the lead lap cars by until there is a safe gap to pull into. Some corners this may not be practical such as the run between Surtees and Clarke at Brands Hatch Indy, so good judgement must be used when allowing cars by in corners.
3.5. The racing surface is determined to be the asphalt/concrete which contains the racing line, as well as multicolored curbstones. Sausage curbing, and astroturf do not count as part of the racing surface.

3.7.2. Safety car conditions are determined as starting from the moment the race director types out "SCD" for safety car deployment, and ending after the race director has called for the safety car period to end and the overall leader has reached the restart point on the track.
3.8. Premature race exits, such as ragequitting races, are seen as a sign of disrespect for the series organizers, the other competitors, and the spirit of racing. Leaving races in such a fashion will be met with consequences, such as grid penalties or possible suspensions.
3.9. Drivers vying to defend a position on track are allowed one defensive move as a proactive measure. Making a defensive move as a reactive measure will earn a warning/penalty. This includes weaving back and forth across the racing surface.
3.10. In the instance that a defensive maneuver results in another driver receiving mechanical damage, or forces another driver off the racing surface, or otherwise endangers other drivers, the driver in question of blocking may receive penalties equal to avoidable contact or avoidable collision penalties for their defensive maneuvers.

Penalization.

6.1.1.1. Two or more competitors sustain engine damage and type out "ED" for Engine Damage.
6.1.1.2. At least three competitors sustain damage to three or more parts of their car, and type out "AD" for accident damage.

6.1.2. In the case of a mass disconnection, the Safety Car driver, or the race leader, will type "SCD MD" and lead the field to a red flag stop on the pit straight. The race leader or Safety Car driver will record the order of the competitors remaining and then everyone will exit the race and wait for the disconnected competitors to return. Once those competitors have returned, the race will restart with the number of laps that remained in the race prior to when the mass disconnect occured. A manual safety car formation lap will allow everyone to get into their proper grid positions, and then racing will resume.
6.1.2.1. Mass disconnections are viewed as three or more competitors dropping out of the event lobby in under 180 seconds.
6.2. When a safety car period is deployed, overtaking is immediately prohibited unless the car being overtaken is wounded by mechanical damage and off to the side of the racing surface or off track completely.
6.2.1. Cars that are wounded are to stay off of the racing line and yield to undamaged cars in tight sections with their hazard lights on.
6.2.2. All cars are to keep a reasonable pace until they pass the pit lane entrance to finish their current lap. As the pit lane is open at all times, drivers can elect to use the pit lane or proceed to catch the safety car queue.
6.2.3. The overall race leader will be the head of the safety car queue. The overall race leader will be required to maintain a speed limit of 50 miles per hour, or 80 kilometers per hour for the entire duration of the safety car period.
6.2.4. Once the field is deemed to be in its correct order, the overall race leader will be directed to lead the restart of the race at the end of the current lap.
6.3. In the instance that the event integrity may be compromised due to technical failures, the race director has the ability to call the race once the race leader has completed 75% race distance.
6.4. Under a Safety Car period, all competitors must be single file, with two car lengths minimum between each car for most of the period. Once the field enters the last sector of the track, competitors may bunch up closer to allow for a decent restart.
6.1.1. The criteria for accidents that bring out safety car periods for accidents is as follows:
6.1.1.1. Two or more competitors sustain engine damage and type out "ED" for Engine Damage.
6.1.1.2. At least three competitors sustain damage to three or more parts of their car, and type out "AD" for accident damage.
6.1.1.3. Competitors involved in an accident are required to come to a stop to type out they have received the appropriate damage before beginning to move once again.
6.1.1.4. Once the appropriate criteria have been met, the race director will type either "SCD" or "Safety Car deployed".
6.1.2. In the case of a mass disconnection, the Safety Car driver, or the race leader, will type "SCD MD" and lead the field to a red flag stop on the pit straight. The race leader or Safety Car driver will record the order of the competitors remaining and then everyone will exit the race and wait for the disconnected competitors to return. Once those competitors have returned, the race will restart with the number of laps that remained in the race prior to when the mass disconnect occured.
