Driver etiquette and code of behaviour The organiser considers the code of conduct a fundamental aspect in every competition. It is precisely for that reason that if any Driver involved in these sanctioned events acts in any of the following ways, the organiser has the right to disqualify the player and/or team with immediate effect as well as removing them from the community on a permanent basis:
Unsporting conduct (deliberate ramming, crashing or otherwise significantly impeding competitors with intention of harming their results).
Driver Ping being unstable or over the agreed upon limit of 150m/s for a consistent period of time.
Verbal/Communication abuse directed at the organising staff and subjects involved (online and offline) in-game, or on any social platform, websites, forums etc.
Any kind of cheating will bring the guilty player to an instant ban from the championship and from our future events; for the avoidance of doubt this includes misuse of in-game mechanics as well as unintended exploits or external cheats.
Trolling.
Please keep discussions, feedback and opinions in a reasonable and constructive manner.
Any postings on social media, discords or other communication channels which damage the brands involved, its competitions, employees, exhibitors or partners will be sanctioned.
Or any violation that is defined in Simracing.GP Terms Of Service
Assetto Corsa Specific notes
For AC events, the standard Kunos provided in-game 'Race Gas Penalty' system will be used. These will not be manually cleared, and the following scenarios can be expected: - Any track cuts picked up by the in-game system will be automatically penalized with an instruction to cut gas pedal input (lift off throttle) for a specified amount of time. - Drivers will need to follow the instructions shown on screen, to slow down to the minimum specified speed to instantly clear the penalty, or, lift-off the gas completely for the specified amount of time. Note, any gas input before the slowdown penalty has been cleared completely, will 'reset' the penalty time to the full amount. - Drivers MUST NOT lift off in a dangerous place e.g. on the racing line or mid-corner especially when there is surrounding or approaching traffic. - Any issued penalty needs to be completed before crossing the start/finish line, else the game will automatically disqualify a driver. This penalty will not be overruled post-race.
Livery and team name expectations No names, images or descriptions relating to anything of an obscene, harmful or hateful nature are permitted. In the current climate of multiple global conflicts, we also request that no political imagery/messaging/propaganda are featured on a car skin. Failure to comply will result in a removal from the competition. This includes driver and team names on any game for the livery selected.
