DRIVING STANDARDS

Spoiler: Click to open

• Redressing is a thing - It's important to redress when you have caused another car to lose position. More info here

• Start Formation - The Kunos start system isn't perfect and still allows cars to be a fair way out of place by the time the lights go green so we will continue to review starts as a matter of procedure. We will issue warnings or penalties to drivers that we believe are gaining an unfair advantage or disadvantaging other drivers by being out of position.
• Please respect other drivers and stay in your grid position
• Do not stay 'ghosted' within any other car especially in the final phase of the formation lap
• It is not acceptable to take another car's position before the start
• If ACC fails to give a penalty for being out of position then the Admin team will issue a post race penalty
• Driver's need to be side by side with their row partner and must maintain a reasonable gap to the cars ahead prior to the lights going green
• Drivers should stop all weaving and brake warming as soon as the double file segment begins
• penalties WILL NOT BE CLEARED even if it seems to be a glitch - just take more care!
• Avoiding pre-start and Lap 1 Carnage! - Take extra care as the lights go green as all cars will be in a tight, accelerating pack:
  • Expect cars to be much closer to you and varying in speed due to all the others around so try to leave a tad more space.
  • Assume there are cars in your blind spots and and on the other side of visible cars until the pack spreads out more.
  • In braking zones you must brake SIGNIFICANTLY earlier than you would in general racing.
  • Avoid sudden direction changes unless you are sure you are well clear.
  • If on a straight section don't drift - stay straight.
  • Approach each situation with caution but execute your driving with intelligence.
• If you need to redress in this tight pack situation keep going until you can move out of the traffic safely before slowing downOptional use of indicators - Should drivers wish to use indicators to assist with managing lapped traffic, they are to be used as they are used on the road - i.e. you should indicate which way you are going - if you indicate left, you go left. REMEMBER TO TURN THEM OFF AGAIN.
• All drivers should read the "Rooz Etiquette guide' and "Rules & Regs" linked below before the start of Round 1.

• if you intend to chat you MUST use push-to-talk. No-none wants to hear your gear clicks, heavy breathing or barking dog in the background.
• non-excessive chat and banter is OK in Practice sessions.
• There should be minimal chat in Qualifying sessions - essential questions, statements, apologies etc. only.
• There should be minimal chat in Race sessions - essential questions, statements, apologies etc. only.
• If you become frustrated or angry at yourself or another driver please do not push your talk button. Keep it private!
• Please do not conduct arguments over voice chat. Sort it out later!
• Abuse will not be tolerated. There's no place for that stuff at Rooz!
• Please wait until ALL drivers have completed the final lap of a race before discussing your race.
• Admins may speak at any time in any session for obvious reasons.
• Feel free to hang around in chat after the race. Many of us like to have a laugh about things that may have happened in the race and it can be a nice wind-down
