We will be reviewing all laps that qualify in the top-25 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.
- Do not use off-tracks prior to the lap starting to gain speed.
- Do not use external software to modify performance.
- Respect your competitors.
