.Race9 2021 GT Asia rulebook

In general, the common racing rules apply at .Race9. Below are the most important issues in detail.

• Section 1 – General rules:
• 1.1 – The general rules of .Race9 also apply to this series. Make sure to know them as well!
• 1.2 – All penalties that are addressed in this rulebook are explained in detail in the penalty catalogue.
• 1.3 – Toxic behaviour, spamming, hate speech and/or harassment will not be tolerated on any of the .Race9 homepage and affiliated social media channels.
• 1.4 – Drivers and team owners are responsible themselves to understand the rules. If there’s any confusion, you can always contact .Race9 staff members for clarification.
• 1.5 – .Race9 reserves the right to broadcast any competition live or upload any video after a competition has ended. .Race9 also reserves the right to use any teams or drivers name including statements in any media.
• 1.6 – In order to participate at any .Race9 event or championship, a legal copy of the specific game is required.
• 1.7 – Cheating on the .Race9 community is not allowed. That includes the use of any third-party software that alters the behaviour of the games used in the league or Race Fixing, for example.

• Section 2 – Qualifying:
• 2.1 – Each driver will have 25 minutes in Qualifying, both classes will share the track in this session. There is no limit on laps nor a parc fermé applied.
• 2.2 – If you are not able to come back to the pits after your latest lap it will not count. If the last lap was your fastest, the time will not be counted and you will be given a 10 Second penalty to race 1. Of course this includes pressing “ESC” after a lap, too.
• 2.3 – If you crash and your engine stalls or you lose a wheel (no matter if you make it to the pits or not) your session is over! That means you are not allowed to do runs anymore. If you crash directly after the finish line because you have no fuel anymore your last lap time will not count.
• 2.4 – Leaving the pits under red will always result in a DSQ.
• 2.5 – Lining up at the red light before the Qualifying begins has to happen in a single lane. Drivers who overtake other cars in the pitlane might be penalized after the event!
• 2.6 – Do not ruin someone’s fast lap when you are running an out lap or running slower. When you do this, race control might put you to the back of the grid after qualifying. If you are impeded during a lap, please mention it to the Race Control.

• Section 3 – Before the race (Briefing):
• 3.1 – There are briefings at all series before the first race of each event. It is mandatory to attend at these briefings, otherwise the driver in question will not be allowed to participate.
• 3.2 – All briefings will be held in the .Race9 Discord server voice chat.

• Section 4 – Starting procedure:
• 4.1 – We will have standing starts in GT Asia, as this is the only option in AC.
• 4.2 – All briefings will be held in the .Race9 Discord server voice chat.

• Section 5 – Retirements, red flags and race restarts:
• 5.1 – Restarts will NOT be made unless 30% or more of all entered competitors are unable to continue until the leader has crossed the line to complete lap 1.
• 5.2 – Unable to continue are cars that either lost a wheel, lost their power and cannot restart, get disconnected at the start or during the leaders first lap. Race control can also decide to restart the race for less lost cars.
• 5.3 – If you are unable to continue the race, mention it ONCE in the chat by sending ‘crash’. Any other chat message will be ignored. Multiple ‘crash’ messages might lead to a penalty!

Section 6 – Racing:
• 6.1 – Do not take someone out of the race! If you did, continue the race as usual (or be nice and wait in a safe spot), Race Control will decide about the incident after the race.
• 6.2 – Giving a brake test to someone is strictly forbidden, race control probably will DSQ you after the race when they see it while watching the replay.
• 6.3 – Speeding or even overtaking under yellow flags will be penalized!
• 6.4 – Ignoring blue flags or flags at all will be penalized!
• 6.5 – Using the horn during any official session is not allowed.
• 6.6 – It is mandatory to stay in the Discord voice chat during the races!

• Section 7 – Race weekend schedule:
• 7.1 – As the servers are opened up 24/7, there will be only an unofficial 30 minutes Practice session before the Qualifying starts. Session times can change from event to event. Possible changes will be announced in the race specific threads.
• 7.2 – The race weekends will look like the following:

• Saturday:
• Practice: 30 minutes, 18:30 UTC
• Qualifying: 25 minutes, 19:00 UTC

• Section 8 – The game itself:
• 8.1 – We prefer using real names on the server so please use your real name when you enter the server.
• 8.2 – Using the ingame chat during Qualifying or the Race itself is strictly forbidden!

• Section 9 – Custom teams:
• 9.1 – B-Teams (like Toro Rosso in F1) are not allowed.
• 9.2 – Different cars in one team are allowed, even across classes, which means that teams can run eg. Nissans and Subarus in the same entry.
