The goal of the Driver Penalty System is to ensure clean racing and maximize enjoyment of all drivers.  

 

Not all contact generates a penalty.

Triggers resulting in Penalties are as follows:

 

1)  Failure to maintain control of your car causing a caution by

          a) Self spin/crash

          b) Sliding back onto racing surface

          c) Stopping on the track

          d) Equipment failure

          (.5pt if no other driver was involved)

​

2)  Making contact causing You or another Driver to

          a) Spin / Loose Control causing other contact

          b) Hit the wall

          c) Leave the racing surface

          d) Receive excessive damage greater than 30 sec repair

          e) Blatant Disregard for other drivers  ( This will add an additional .5pt to the incident)

​

3)  Causing a Caution within 2 laps after the Start or Re-start of the race.

     ( This penalty will add an additional .5 pt penalty point to the incident.)

​

4)  Failure to slow to avoid or prevent another incident after the caution is waved.

​

5)  Causing incidents on pit road

​

(6 and 7 were moved to a points penalty)

​

8)  Intentional wrecking.  This comes with an automatic 3 penalty points and a race suspension.

​

9)  Any other situation causing Race Admin to intervene in race to ensure race integrity

 

​

For each penalty you receive, you will receive an @ Fault Penalty if it is found to be your fault.  If it was determined to be a racing incident you will both receive .5pt which will add to your Penalty Status.

​

@ Fault Incidents are a record of how many incident points you have received.

Penalty Status is your current penalty status.

​

Penalty Status 3  [ >= 3 points ]

          This comes with a probation period.  During this period, you will be given an EOL at the start of the race .            You will be removed from probation when your Penalty Status falls below 3 again.

​

Penalty Status 4  [ >= 4 points]

          You will remain on probation and may be suspended for a race.

​

Penalty Status 5 classification [ >= 5 points]

          If allowed to continue past a P4 status and you are a P5 at the end of the race,

          you may be suspended for 3 races if not removed from the league.

​

If during a 12 week season you receive more than 6 @ Fault Incidents, YOU MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE LEAUGE.

   

All incidents will be reviewed immediately after the race by at least 3 people to ensure fair judgement.  You are welcome to participate in the incident review.  All penalties decisions are final but you may request clarification on why the penalty was given.  Please check the Race Results to see the penalties given for that race and the Standings for the current penalty status.   If you are to receive a penalty that puts you into a P3 or greater status, you will be notified via iRacing mail system or Discord.  

​

Penalties and enforcement of them may be made by admins during the race for drivers with P3’s or greater.

​

Penalty Status Reduction

     For each incident free clean race you race (0x), you will reduce your Penalty by .5

     For each race you race without getting a league penalty you will reduce your Penalty by .5

     (ie. If you race an incident free race without receiving a league penalty, 

     you will reduce your Penalty by 1 point)
