2011-2012 V8 Solstice Rulebook

1. Yellows

First off, we do not use the in-game cautions. One of the 3 main race admins which will either be CP6, AC33 or NB9. One of us will say "Caution is out, raceback."

If you cause a caution you will get a EOLL by speeding down pit road 10+
mph faster then the actually speed. We do have a parking rule, If you
cause 2 cautions then you must park it. If you also wreck under caution it will go towards your caution count.

When a caution comes out, you are allowed to race back at ALL times. If you cause a wreck racing back to the line, you will also get an EOLL and a count towards 2 cautions.

Also, NO screwing around under caution, yes it may get
boring, but screwing around can lead to wrecks, angry drivers, or longer
cautions.

If two cars crash at any time in the race, we will throw a caution, if we have 2 self spins within 2 laps of eachother 20 laps after a restart, we will throw a caution.

Unless we have a massive crash, there will be NO cautions within 3 to go.

2. Penalties

If you intentionally wreck another driver and you get somebody else involved between the two of you, you will be asked to leave or will be ejected without waring, suspended for 1 to 3 races and a 2 week probation.

Also, if you cut the track on purpose and are not blackflagged by the track, we will blackflag you. If you do cut it, and do not own up to it, we will see it on the replay afterwards, and you will be given a EOLL.

3. Start/Restarts

We do standings starts in this series, which means we will line up row by row behind each other, NOT staggered, and one of the admins will do a 3,2,1 GO countdown, and then we will be under way.

We have single file restarts in this series, we also have a thing called countdown restarts, aka a admin in the chat will go 3,2,1 GO in the chat, and you will hit the gas at that time, and are allowed to pass before the line at anytime. If you type during this period you will get penalized by getting EOLL.

4. Fighting/Wrecking

If you have a problem with a driver, please hold your words till after the race, and speak with me about the
driver you have had a issue with. If you do have a outburst during the race and or wreck the driver I'm ejecting your ass from the server. Same with teamspeak. Also have respect for other drivers.

5. Race Chatter

I don't mind chatter under caution unless its a bunch of screaming and stuff like that, but please keep it quiet under green, unless your telling someone your pitting, low, high, etc.
If I hear a whole bunch of chatter from you I will ask you to stop, and if you do not listen I will ask you to leave, and if you don't leave, your ejected.

6. Driver ID Rules

You will
be required to use your real name to race in this series. Example:

Caleb
Wheeler, C_Wheeler, CWheeler, etc.

This will be your driver name for the whole season, I do not want to have to change your name in the
standings because you decided to change your name.

7. Car files, Pit crews, and Paint jobs

You must send in your carfile to me in a PM or post it in the carfile thread so I can upload it to the FTP.

3 digit numbers are allowed, you can also use a number such as 18x, but
if you do make sure your in-game car number is 180 or something along
the lines of that.

Please keep the paint jobs and crews PG-13, I do not want to see any porn on the cars.

Please make sure you have at least a number on the front bumper and rear bumper.

Main sponsor is showcased on the door instead of the number.

8. Server Crash

If the server crashes or there is a mass internet failure we will do the following:

If the race is passed halfway and the exports/replay are recovered we will end the race there.
If it is not passed halfway, we will try to get the server back up within a 10 minute window and resume the race. If we cannot get the server back up and running, we will postpone the race to a later date.

9. Lap car rules

All lap cars will be asked to get an EOLL by speeding down pit road 2nd time around under caution for your not in
the leaders way. If the leader is approaching you during the green, please yield high to him. If you attempt to block him you might be black flagged.

We have luckydogs in this series, which means if you are the first person a lap down when we get a caution, and you didn't cause it, you will get your lap back and start at the end of the longest line. We also have wave arounds in this series, which means if we have a caution, and you don't pit, you can go around and get your lap back.

10. Warping Rules

You must have a ping of 230 or below to race in this series. if you do not have a stable connection and the admin feels you maybe a problem racing around people, you will be asked to park it. Unless you are able to fix it before race time.

If you start warping mid-race you will be asked to drop to the apron and to the back of the pack

11. Team Rules and Sponsors

You are allowed to have 2 full time drivers on a team, with a 5th team that's only allowed to run half the season.

Sponsors are first come first serve, and sponsors from season 3 will carry over. Only
primary sponsors count.

You may only have 5 PRIMARY (hood) sponsors, and 5 paint schemes and 10 carfiles for the whole season unless its for a special event, or something else. PM me if you want to run another car.

YOU MUST SEND IN YOUR PAINT SCHEMES BY RACE 5, ONCE PAST THAT POINT, YOU CANNOT SEND IN ANYMORE CARFILES.
