GENERAL RULES

1. You are always responsible for your participation on track even if you’ve paused the game.

5. We abide by Discord, PSN and Sim Grid Terms & Conditions and it’s our duty to report anyone breaking their or our Terms and Conditions.
6. Participants will not be able to ‘Retire from session’ on track in qualifying or the race. This stops distraction for participants on hot laps and/or near them in the race. On F1 it can also cause a SC or VSC deployment manipulating the race result. If you have finished your running please wait in the garage for the session to end or head to the pits and retire the car from the pause menu whilst you're in the pit lane.
7. A 5-minute delay will be permitted at the Coordinators discretion as long as the participant requests the extra 5 minutes to the coordinator privately, at the earliest opportunity prior to the scheduled start time.
8. By entering you agree to participate to the best of your ability and not partake in any unsportsmanlike conduct.
9. If a fellow player reports you for insulting or unacceptable behaviour directed towards them on social media, the discord or the Tier Chats the Stewards have the right to issue penalties. Everyone within our community should be treated equally and with respect. Failure to do so could result in you being removed from the league.
10. In the event of a lobby restart where the race hasn’t completed 5 laps, the Tier Coordinator will set the grid to the previous lobbies’ Qualifying Results. The lobby will also be set to the the pre announced weather regardless of what the weather was in the previous lobby.
11. Under SC/VSC conditions, a participant must not fall more than 5 seconds behind the SC otherwise they will be referred to the stewards.
12. During 'in' out 'out' laps in qualifying a driver must not deliberately cut the track and go outside the white lines unless they are doing so in a set of circumstances permitted by the stewards.
13. During the formation lap, if a driver drives in a dangerous manner, drive excessively to slow or purposely make contact with another driver, the stewards have the power to award the offending driver a penalty.
14. In some seasons we can enforce a pace cap which could result in some drivers being too quick or too slow to participate in that season. Any entry fees donated will be refunded.

ENINGE WEAR RULES

1. All drivers are required to take at least one new engine during an F1 season.
2. Drivers who take a new engine are required to fill out a ticket in the appropriate discord channel before race day stating they are taking a new engine.
3. Drivers who take a new engine will start at the back of the gird for that race(or sprint if a sprint round) and must not complete a qualifying lap or interfere with another drivers qualifying. The top 5 in the championship can not take a new engine at a sprint round.
4. Drivers who take a new engine will be allowed to exit the pits and undertake an out lap before returning to the pits immediately.
5. If you do not take a new engine during the season you will be deducted 20 points from your driver championship standings.
6. If you DNF from a race you will be awarded 1.5x engine wear of laps completed for that round.
7. Drivers who join mid season will still need to take a new engine at one of the rounds.
8. Engine wear will only be counted for laps raced - including sprint events. Laps during qualifying or one off events will not count towards your engine wear.

RACING RULES

1. All overtakes must be completed within the white lines of the track.
2. The overtaking driver must be 50% alongside at the point the defending driver turns into the corner at the natural racing line. The defending driver can not change line from the point of the braking zone to their turn in and can not take a non traditional turn in line into the corner to negate the above. If the overtaking driver is not 50% alongside at the point the defending driver turns into the corner, the overtaking driver should back out. The stewards will act and penalise based on the conditions above in most incidents.
3. You must defend your position within the white lines of the track & not keep your position by going fully outside the white lines and continuing on.
4. If you do gain a position fully outside the white lines you must only do so to prevent a further incident.
5. If you make contact or unfairly defend your position you must wait for the other participant to re-pass before attempting to overtake again.
6. It is always the responsibility of the participant 'behind' attempting the overtake to ensure a clean and fair manoeuvre.
7. A participant defending his position must not make several movements to block the participant attempting the overtake. They may make a directional change once to defend and then again when drifting back towards the natural racing line providing they follow rule 2 of this section.
8. If an incident is your fault, you should wait and allow the other participant to repass you before continuing to race. This must be done in a safe and orderly manner. The stewards will reduce or clear you of penalty if this is completed.
9. When defending your position on a straight you must not make any sudden jolting movements.
10.  Participants defending can move back towards the racing line as long as they follow rule 2 of this section.
11.  If a participant tries a ‘half-hearted’ move and puts his car up the inside or outside of a corner, rule 2 will not apply because there will not be sufficient time for the defending participants to leave room.
12.  Divebombs’ are allowed but must be done in a controlled manner. Participants who divebomb and can’t control their car will be penalised for reckless driving.
13.  More than 3 cars into a corner usually doesn’t go. The Stewards will do their best to apportion blame but in most cases, a racing incident will usually be the result.
14. You should not leave the front of you car on the inside or outside of a car through a corner, this will most likely result in a car making contact and spinning off.
15.  Tit for Tat driving will not be tolerated by participants.
16. At a SC restart you must not overtake another car until crossing the start/finish line regardless of the in-game notifications.
