1. ON TRACK REGULATIONS
1.1 - Drivers are expected to race as clean as possible, to the best of their abilities.

1.2.1 - During the race, only the following tyre compounds are permitted for use:
- Racing Soft (RS)
- Racing Medium (RM)
- Racing Hard (RH)
1.2.2 - he driver must execute a minimum of 2 pit stops, where all dry-weather tyre compounds (RS, RM and RH) are used.
1.2.3 - Failure to complete the mandatory tyre change in dry conditions, or to otherwise comply with Article 1.2.2, shall result in a post-race time penalty of 2 minutes for every mandatory tyre not used.
1.2.4 - A driver must serve a minimum of a 5-minute stationary stop during any two of the stops. The stop initiates when the car becomes fully stationary in the pit box. The driver must only click to change tyres and/or refuel after the 5 minute is served. No mandatory stationary stop duration applies to any additional pit stops.
1.2.5 - Failure to serve the 5-minute stationary stop in full, will lead to a 5 second penalty added to the final time for every 1 second less served, with a maximum of 10 minute penalty for every mandatory stationary pit stop.
1.3 - Pitlane lines should not be crossed at entry / exit upon pitting. Failure to do so will result in a game penalty.
1.4 - If a driver misses / disconnects from any qualifying session, the driver will be automatically unclassified from the respective race and will start from the back of the grid.
1.5 - Right of way during qualifying: Drivers who are not currently performing a timed lap are expected to give way to drivers on a hot lap during qualifying, regardless of track positioning, time, circumstance, weather, or flags. Drivers who are on a hot lap but have already invalidated their time are also expected to abide by this rule.
1.6 - Drivers on valid hot laps are not expected to give way to any drivers and are entitled to stay on the best racing line or battle to regain it even if they are the slower driver, as long as they respect all other rules and use sensibility and restraint in their actions.
1.7 - Lapped cars and blue flags: Lapped cars are expected to give way and move over as soon as possible when shown blue flags.
1.8 - Race restarts: Velocity officials reserve the right to restart the session at any time, irrespective of time passed or circumstances. In order for this to happen, one of the following has to occur: more than one driver disconnects, major desync issues affecting a substantial portion of the grid, major game glitches that negatively impacts or disqualifies one or multiple drivers, false starts caused by game lag or major incidents that negatively affects the majority of the field, or poor connection issues affecting a significant portion of the field. Circumstances not outlined above will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
