General Rules
Overtaking
It is the overtaking car's duty to ensure the overtake is done safely. When overtaking going into a corner, the overtaking car must have the front wheel alongside the rear bumper of the defending car at the start of the braking zone. Hard racing is permitted as long as the other car is not pushed off track.
Defending
As the defending car you are allowed one defensive move on each straight. Once made you must hold the defensive line or return to your original line safely. Once the overtaking car's front wheels have reached the defending car's rear bumper the overtaking car must be allowed space on track. Weaving is strictly forbidden.
Yellow Flags
Overtaking under yellow flags is forbidden. If the yellow flag comes out follow the car ahead in a controlled manner. Incidents under the yellow flags will be penalised severely post race.
Blue Flags
It is the overtaking car's duty to ensure the overtake is done safely. On straights, lapped cars must go off line, and allow overtaking cars to pass. Lapped cars are not required to slow on the straight to allow cars to pass. Lapped cars cannot defend while cornering; if side by side on corner exit they must yield. Lapped cars must be predictable at all times. Lapped cars don't need to sacrifice their lines during a corner.
Rejoining
Rejoining must be done without affecting other drivers. If other cars are coming you must wait for a safe point to emerge.
Incidents Involving Lag
Incidents involving lag will be put down as NFA in most instances due to their unavoidable nature. If known to be experiencing lag it is your duty to race with an extra margin of safety. Failure to do so may result in a penalty. You are able to test your connection quality in GT7. The recommended ping is 20ms.
Waiting For Other Driver
If the accused driver waits for their opponent to overtake them again penalties may be removed or lessened. There is no guarantee of a reduced penalty for waiting but the stewards may view the incident more leniently at their discretion.
Voice Chat Etiquette
During the race, drivers may wish to be present in voice chat. It is forbidden to use verbal aggression/bullying towards an opponent. Avoid "banter" about slowing opponents down or affecting opponents' race/strategies. Everyone is here to compete in a serious way, all while having an enjoyable time. Please respect each other.
Tyre Compounds
All drivers must use two different tyre compounds during the race. If intermediate tyres are used during the race then a single compound is permitted. Mixed tyre compounds are strictly forbidden and will result in an 8 point penalty. These tyre compounds are allowed: Racing Softs (RS or Red), Racing Mediums (RM or Yellow), Intermediates (IM or Green). These are the equivalents to the Dunlop Sport-maxx tyres used in Supercars: Super-softs (SS), Soft (S), Wet-weather (W).
