Rules

Right just some hotlap/time trial rules, we will be reviewing all laps that qualify in the top-30 and performing spot-checks, those that do not observe correct driving may have their lap removed or will be disqualified (DQ)

Observe the track limits at all times, if we observe track cutting that is unrealistic with all wheels in an off-track position the lap will be invalidated

You can use the green run-off at Stowe if the game allows it – if you are outside of this area with all four wheels your lap will be DQ’d

Do not use off-tracks prior to the lap starting to gain speed

Do not use external software to modify performance

Respect your competitors

Good Luck!
