Note: The league will now be using rFactor 2 1988 Mod
You will need a fully up to date version of rFactor and the mod. This should be handled by the Steam workshop.
Sportsmanship
- The #1 rule is that all drivers must be good sportsmen and women, respect your rivals.
- No deliberate ramming.
- No blocking – You may defend your line but you must then stick to that line, no weaving to prevent a pass.
- F1 is a non-contact sport.
- There will be no restarts. Be careful into the first corner
Disputes
If you feel wronged by another driver in a race do not retaliate then or get angry on voice comms. Lodge a dispute after with the time it happened and who you have a grievance with.
The other drivers will then vote on the incident.
If the vote is guilty another vote will be held for punishment.
Available punishments are
- 10 seconds added to race time of the guilty driver
- 30 seconds added to race time of the guilty driver
- DSQ from the race for the guilty driver
This should make the league self-policing and everyone behave. Please remember as it is online that lag could contribute to a collision so where possible please give the benefit of the doubt.
