When I started the practice I was a bit surprised cars are doing donuts on the track and coming towards me in opposite direction. I know it is a game and fun and I don't want to kill the fun part of it but I personally would prefer a more professional environment. This was our first official race so the experience is all new to us and the league is about to take shape. I would like to highlight a few rules what are in the team charter under Driving Habits, what I would like everyone to follow. I don't want to play the role of big daddy to teach you how to play but please play according to the rules as a courtesy to your fellow players. Thank you.
Drivers must avoid running into the cars in front of them, if a driver brakes too late and will run into the car behind them the options of bailing out into the grass, gravel or wall must be taken if available to them (Edit: hahahaha, right! But seriously, watch for brake lights).
If contact does occur and the guilty driver gains place(s) in result of the contact the driver in question must move off the racing line, slow down and allow the innocent driver(s) pass and the next possible point of the racetrack, if this is not carried out then penalties may apply.
Drivers must respect whom has the racing line when turning into and coming out of a corner, the driver which has the inside of a corner has the entrance advantage, other drivers must respect the driving line and avoid a collision.
I don't think I'm asking too much and but if you don't agree with any of the rules feel free to bring it up for discussion.
One more thing about driving aids such as traction control and ABS. Obviously there are beginner in online racing who needs a bit of help keeping the car on track. But using these setting for experienced drivers give advantage against the one who don't use them. So please use them according to your experience level but if you abuse them we might need to disable them which will make people with less experience keep up with the league.
And finally the results. Congratulation to Will who won both races. Unfortunatly my network connection was dropped in the middle of the first race, otherwise I would have won that :-) Also Ben's controller allegedly packed up in the first race, perhaps as it hit the TV... Surprise no show from George who organised the race.
