Flag Conditions:
Use your autochat at on the backstretch to signal the cars behind you!
Pit access roads must be used for entrance and exits at tracks such
as Las Vegas and Indy and any other track that has them (This usually
means enter and exit on the backstretch). At tracks without
pit access lanes you may enter the pits off of turn 4 and when exiting

| Connection Issues | Each racer is responsible for their connection to the race server. If your connection is bad show consideration for the other drivers' and get off the track. If you are experiencing warping during the pace lap use your autochat to notify the race officials. If there are 6 or more drivers that show warp the race will be restarted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Race Restarts | We will qualify before every start and restart. No questions asked. If required we will restart a race at least 2 times. If the race does not start before 10:00pm it will be considered a rainout and will be run on the next available date. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Disconnection | If one or more racers are disconnected between the start of Qualifying and 3 laps into the race the race will be restarted. After 3 laps into the race you are disconnected and the race is run to completion you will receive the finishing points and no provisional will be needed. After you are disconnected from the server it will be reset for a 12-minute practice session and you will have that amount of time to reconnect to the server. If you are not able to reconnect to the server the race will be run and you will receive a free provisional. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Warp | If the finishing order is changed due to warp at the end of the race you may file a Race Protest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| On Track Incident | We would rather see these incidents taken care of by e-mail interaction between the drivers' involved, due to the fact that most of the time these are just accidents and could be straightened out with a little communication between the drivers involved. If you feel that your problem cannot be solved that way then you may file a Race Protest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Rules Violation | The Race Officials cannot always see what is going on around the track so we are asking you to police yourselves. If you feel that a driver has gained an advantage during the race by cheating you may report the incident to an official by filing a Race Protest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Filing a Protest | Any driver may file a Race Protest with the race officials within 24 hours after completion of the race. To file protests you must email the race officials with a complete description of the rules offence and or warp with a replay that documents the problem conclusively. Take into consideration that if you falsely file a Race Protest or do not back up your protest with a conclusive replay you may be charged with a Official Warning. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Penalties will be decided by and handed out by the League Officials. These can range from the following depending on the severity of the infraction: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Loss of One Lap | You will be in the first position on the lap behind the one you are currently on | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| League Official Warning* | You will receive an email detailing the rule infraction and the penalty. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Loss of a Lap & League Official Warning* |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Suspension from League | You will not be able to participate in Points races but you may continue to attend practice sessions. The League Officials will decide time and or number of races that the suspension will last. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
* If you receive 3 warnings you will be suspended and your SORT Membership will be reviewed. At that point the League Officials will determine the length of the suspension or if the driver will be removed from the league. All warnings are final and cannot be debated. Any attempt to argue can result in more penalties being handed out. |
