Rules:
GTP OLR Rules
- Please familiarize yourself with these rules prior to the event.
- You are expected to behave like sporting gentlemen at all times. Dirty driving is absolutely forbidden.
- If you cause a contact, you must make contact concessions. ie: no bump-passing
- Failure to make contact concessions will result in a post-race penalty concession. (ie: you will be placed below that racer in the results)
- Caution must be exercised when re-entering the track after an off-road excursion caused by any reason.
- Carless driving, recklessness, & aggressive risky maneuvers may result in post-race penalties, and will certainly result in your fellow racers being ill tempered.
- Retaliation, "payback", & monkey-see-monkey-do rule flouting will not be tolerated.
- The in-game penalty system is switched to off to prevent ghosting, with the understanding that GTPlanet racers do not need the in-game penalty system to follow posted track rules. Shorting the track is strictly prohibited, must have 2 wheels on the tarmac (or rumble curbing) - this includes "going wide", off-roading in the grass or dirt, or using tarmac outside the parameters of the track, is forbidden.
- In case of any incident involving a crash or rule violation, please review the replay before drawing conclusions. Note the time and location of the incident. Try dialogue with the other driver first with Private Messaging. You may report the incident via Private Messaging, with details, in a timely manner (ie: soon after the race), if warranted, so an appointed steward &/or the race director may review the incident.

Anyway, this is a really fun car to drive! It slides real easy which makes it not just another low powered car.
