There will be no car class separation for the ranking.
After the shakedown race, coming into Brands Hatch you will have to stick to the same car for the entire championship.
Car setup is free.
You can participate to any number of races in the calendar as you want, but off course you will get less chances to score points. There are no widthdraw penalties.
If you register for a race but then you don't show up (no show to a race), you will be penalized by 5 points on your championship score. You can do max 2 no show before being disqualified from the championship. Basically register for a race only if you can make it.
Penalties
Cutting the track rules are set to "normal" and you have a total of 3.0 penalty points (rFactor2 automatically determine the severity of a cut).
Pit lane speeding is automatically punished with a drive through (DT). Pit lane speed limit is 83 Km/h (23 m/s)
Impeding or causing an accident during the qualyfing session will incur in a 5-place grid drop (you can report the accident in the chat)
Race accidents will be reviewed after the race and a discretionary time penalty will be applied on top of the final time (potentially making you drop some position).
Any accident occurring in the first 2 laps of the race and in the 2 final laps of the race will generally receive a bigger penalty.
As a general guideline you always have to leave room to race to other drivers. If your cars have any side overlapping (eg: front bumper with other car rear bumper) then you need to make sure the other driver can complete any manuever by staying inside the track.
Door against door contacts are part of the fun and we all love some aggressive overtake, but again remember that if you compromise any other driver race, a penalty will be applied.
Changing line under braking is forbidden and will incur in a penalty if causing any contact, accident or other driver spun out.
No dive bombing.
Deliberately crashing into another car, driving wrong way on track or any sort of verbal harassment will be punished by the ban of the user from the championship and the H-Volution community both on Simgrid and Discord, with no appeal.
