MOST IMPORTANT RACING RULES
Overtaking
If you are passing someone on the inside while entering a corner you must have your car at least half way along side the other car to have the right of way.
If you try to pass around the outside then exiting the corner you must be fully along side the other car, otherwise they are entitled to take the normal racing line, which may include pushing you wide.
In the event that they do start take you wide, you should ease off the throttle and fall back behind the other car as safely as possible. While this is not encouraged, many drivers try to push others wide to gain an advantage.
Overtaking on a straight is the safest place to do so. Using a drivers slipstream to gain more speed then pulling out at the last minute to take the place. This is allowed but drivers should always be aware of others when making these moves. Drivers should also allow extra time for breaking when entering a corner at a higher speed.
Incidents
If you gain an advantage from making contact with another driver, you must allow that drive back through. If this is not possible (cars have left the white lines of the track or are too damaged to continue), apologies are expected and will be accepted. If there are further issues to report, you can use the CRC’s “How’s my driving” reports feature.
Defensive driving
The driver who is leading the race is entitled to drive defensively. This is to protect their position at the front of the field. Other drivers should be aware of this. The Lead Driver is allowed to make one move to the left, then one move to the right to protect his racing line. This is per straight. Drivers should not block the cars behind. It may be beneficial to let the car behind pass, then to repass if able to do so.
The lead driver is entitled to make 1 move to maintain his/her position and 1 move to return to the normal racing line before every turn.
Exiting pits
When you come up to the end of the pit lane, normally signalled by a solid white or yellow line, be aware that you are on a separate road and the people on the track have right of way. This is ALWAYS the case, the drivers entering the track from the Pit Lane are never given priority.
If traffic is approaching, DO NOT speed away in front, instead calmly slow the car down and be prepared to stop before the pit lane merges with the track.
You should be aware of other drivers behind you, some may be impatient, if so it is these who will risk suspension from the server for not obeying a simple rule.
Be aware that drivers behind you may not be aware of these rules, they may not be part of the Clean Racers Club, but they are still judged by the same rules and they agreed to accept upon entry to the server.
Be aware that you may be hit from behind while stationary at the end of the pit lane, while this isn’t your fault, as you were right to stop and wait, be ready and almost expecting it to happen as If you are hit, you could be sent into the path of oncoming traffic. Be ready and prepared to get out of the way as quick as possible, in a safe and controlled manor.
Re-entering track
If for any reason your car leaves the outlines of the track (two solid white lines, normally lined by walls or grass), you should use your track awareness to look around you to see if there is any oncoming traffic to look for before rejoining the track.
Be patient with other drivers. You are off the track, they are on the track, cars on the track always take priority over those off it.
If you are off the track you may reset your car IF there are no other drivers near you, if there are other drivers near you, wait till they have left the scene of the accident before resetting the car.
Car Damage / Fuel
If your car is damaged, you may continue to the pits to repair your car, but you must proceed at low speeds and be well off the racing line. Racing cars have priority over recovering cars. The same applies for those who are low or have run out of fuel, if you are close to the pits and can make it back, you may continue to do so.
We recommend that you turn your hazard lights on to let other players know you are a caution on the track.
Contact
Rubbing and tapping are all parts or everyday racing, so, these are allowed as long as it doesn’t harm anyone’s race or gain you an advantage. Due to occasional lag, small taps may cause a major crash, so be careful.
Race Rules
Backmarkers will be lapped by other cars, this is an everyday occurrence. Other drivers should be treated with the same respect as drivers you are racing. When you receive a Blue Flag it is your responsibility to wait until there is a safe place to allow the car behind to pass. The usual allowance is three Blue Flags or in the case of LFS, Three Corners.
Pitting
Care is to be taken when entering the Pit Lane. Make sure that your car is fully in the Pit Lane before the Dashed Yellow or White Lines that guide you in become solid.
When pealing away from the racing line, care should be taken as to the cars around you, make sure your path is clear to the left or the right, IF possible signal your intentions with the use of your car’s indicators (in not in a single seater vehicle).
It’s the responsibility of the driver to ensure the track around them is clear before a Manoeuvre, but it is the responsibility of the drivers around the pitting driver to not simply run into them, and not to try to overtake at a moment when the car is heading to the pits. This is where things become dangerous. IF possible bring the car over towards the pit lane early so that other drivers can see your intentions.
Approach the Pit Lane Speed Limit Line, signalled by a solid white line running across the Pit Lane, at speed but always leave room to slow the car down to the speed limit, apply the Limiter or control your speed manually.
Before breaking to the Speed Limit, check your mirror or look behind, check that there are no cars behind you, apply the brakes in a controlled manor. Locking your brakes will only result in sliding and flat spotting tyres, which won’t slow you down quick enough.
When at the Pit Lane Speed Limit, continue in the “At Speed” lane until you are approaching the last available Pit Box. CRC Rules state that drivers should always aim to use the last available pit box.
Before moving over to the inside lane of the pit lane, the “Stopping Lane” Drivers must be aware of the track around them. Priority is always given to the At Speed Lane in the pits, so there shouldn’t be a problem, but there will always be those who think they are not being watched.
Deliberate Corner Cutting
Cutting a corner, or deliberately running into tyres on a chicane will not give the driver and advantage. If you cut a corner you risk damaging your own car, causing an avoidable accident with one or more other drivers, or gaining a time advantage. In the case of the time advantage, suitable penalties can be awarded. Keeping the car on the track at all times is vital to clean racing. The Track is classed as Between the Two Solid White Lines, or between the walls, or between the grass at the side of the track.
