Flaming – Angry reaction to the actions of another driver including sarcastic “Thank You” messages.
If you have a problem with what someone did, contact an admin after the conclusion of the race and they will discuss the event with you at that time
2. NO INTENTIONAL WRECKING:
Penalty can range from loss of ALL Championship Points to Expulsion from League at an NZSW Admin discretion.
If it is decided that an incident is “Intentional Wrecking”, the minimal penalty will be probation, loss of all points for that race and a 1 week suspension from all NZSW events
RACE RULES:
1. RESPECT FOR YOUR FELLOW DRIVERS:
No cursing, arguing, or accusing on-line.
No intentional wrecking or paybacks.
No reckless driving.
2. STARTS AND RESTARTS:
The outside driver (grid 2) sets the pace (around 70km/h)
No hanging back in the field during starts or restarts.
***No jumping before green flag.*** If you jump, you will be penalized he positions you gain as a warning and if repeated you will go to the back of the field. If it still continues then you will be suspended.
On the original start when the race says GREEN GREEN GREEN, the race is ON. You do not have to wait till the flag-stand to pass someone.
On single file restarts, you must remain in single file behind the leader wherever he chooses to restart the race (top, bottom, or middle as long as its on the racing surface) and the rest of the field must follow him.
3. OVER-AGGRESSIVE DRIVING:
While NZSW encourages drivers to drive hard, there is a fine line between driving hard and driving stupid.
Diving into Turn 1 on Starts and Restarts thus causing wrecks will NOT BE TOLERATED and will be dealt with according to the NZSW Penalty system.
There are no “No Passing” rules, but this does not mean you can throw caution to the wind on starts and restarts.
4. PASSING:
The driver initiating the pass is responsible for executing it safely.
5. PACE AND CAUTION LAPS:
When a yellow flag comes out, fall into single file and catch the pace car.
DO NOT SLAM ON YOUR BREAKS OR STOP after catching the pace car or when the yellow is shown, rather brake safely and form up behind the pace car.
Don’t worry if you pass the pace car briefly while slowing, as long as you’re in proper position by the time you get back to the start/finish line the system will not penalize (black-flag) you.
When the yellow comes out all drivers should be single file on the high side of the track.
If you are the cause of the caution or stop to avoid the wreck, YOU MUST GO TO THE TAIL.
Any driver who has two self spins in one race without contact from another car will be asked to park for the remainder of the race.
Any driver attempting to deliberately gain positions after the yellow is out will be moved to the rear of the field.
6. LAPPED CARS:
Cars about to go a lap down can race the leader. However, they should show the courtesy of allowing the leaders to pass safely.
