7.10 Bump Passing:
Bump-passing is defined as the trailing driver nudging the car ahead to make it unstable to momentarily lose traction and control. The driver of the leading car is forced to correct his steering, slow down, or at least stop accelerating to regain traction and/or car control, which allows the trailing car(s) to pass.
 
Penalty: Bump passing is not allowed, even if it occurred accidentally. The driver will get a penalty in the Championship.  If the offending driver gives back the position immediately, the penalty might be reduced/avoided.


7.11 Leaving Space:
Any driver defending his position on a straight, and before any braking area, may use the full width of the track during his first move ( as per rule #7.3 Blocking), provided no portion of the car attempting to pass is alongside his/her car. If two cars have any parts alongside one another, each driver must respect the space occupied by the other car. It does not matter who is ahead, nor how far they are ahead, they may not initiate a move into the other car. Both drivers have the right to continue driving in a straight line unimpeded, this includes not being forced to go off track to do so.
 
Penalty: Not leaving enough space to other drivers is not allowed, even if it occurred accidentally. The driver will get a penalty in the Championship if it causes an accident.



7.12 Causing a Caution Period:
If you cause a yellow flag AND the safety car comes on track, you must pit to have damage checked.  If there is no damage, your car may leave the pit box with no work having been done.  Failure to do so will result in a penalty. 

Sanction Level: The driver will get an infraction in the Championship.


7.13 Flashing lights:
Flashing lights can only be done when warning a lapped car of your presence. Flashing maximum 4 times and no longer than 2 seconds

Sanction Level: The driver will get warning in the Championship.


7.14 Unsportsmanlike Conduct
A driver who demonstrate unsportsmanlike behaviour may be subject to a penalty. Examples of unsportsmanlike conduct are: use of foul language, retaliation, verbal abuse,  aggressive behaviour, in-game exploitation, cheating.

Sanction Level: The driver will get a penalty in the Championship for each infraction of this rule.


7.15 Pit stalls
Most tracks have enough garage spaces to accommodate 30+ cars, but pit boxes are not as many as a rule.
If you are first to pit, make sure you use half of  the pit stall.  This will allow another car to pit in the same pit box.  See images below:





If you arrive to your pit stall, it is already occupied and not enough room is given, DO NOT try to squeeze into the spot as this can cause damage. Wait for the driver in the pit stall to leave.

Note: In some tracks there is not enough space to safely accommodate two cars in the same pit stall.  For those tracks there will be an exception to this rule and it will be mentioned during the briefing.

Sanction Level: If the first driver does not use half the pit stall, the driver will get an infraction in the Championship for every violation of the rule during the race.

Sanction Level: If the driver arriving second tries to squeeze into the spot ,  the driver will get an infraction in the Championship for every violation of the rule during the race.


7.16 Serving Penalties
DT and S/G penalties given by the stewards and/or the game before the start of the formation lap, must be served after the start of the race. Can not be served until the formation lap is completed.

NOTE 1:If the penalty is served before the formation lap is completed, the penalty is considered not served, and it will be applied to the next race the driver participates in the championship series.

NOTE 2: If the penalty given by rF2 is due to jumping the start, the driver can serve the penalty before the end of the formation lap


8. Registration:
In order to ensure the safe and consistent racing our members have come to expect, registration for the series is mandatory. To register click on Series Sign Up tab on the web site, then click on Registration option and follow the prompts.
Registrants must use their real name. On the race server real names are enforced.
Name entered in rFactor is also used for the standings. Avoid changing your name after the first race you participate in, as changing your name will mean that you will have an entry in the standings for each name and points will not be accurately calculated.


9. Race Participation:
There is no enforcement to participate on a minimum number of races.  The following guidelines apply on race day.

• Maximum capacity in the server is determined by the number of available garage boxes per track.  This varies depending on each track.
• First priority goes to Active Drivers, then drivers on the Reserve List (in order of registration on the reserve list).
• Very important, if server is maxed out, cut off point to enter the race will be at the end of the official practice session. If we are at the maximum number of drivers when official practice ends, all the drivers who were part of the session can participate in qually and enter the race, regardless of being an Active or Reserve driver. Again, this will be the cut off point and no more drivers can join qually and the race.
• If we are below the maximum number of drivers when official practice ends, more drivers could enter during qualifying with priority given to those fully registered.

9. Protest:
The admins will review formation lap and lap 1 looking for incidents. The admins may review incidents they see on their walk-through of the replay. This is not a comprehensive review of all the incidents and it is up to the individual drivers to report any incidents.

Report incidents to the admins and we will work together to resolve the problem. A formal complaint can be made through a PM to any of the race Stewards  Juan Amaya / Tom Kapusta / Sebastian Lukasik /Simon Jones / Phil Redman)
Include the lap, drivers involved, and specific incident in question so the Admins can more easily review the replay and assess penalties as appropriate. Reviewing or commenting incidents in public is not allowed. Request to review an incident must be made within 24 hours from the end of the race.
