rules and regulations

You must read and accept the TSRC rules and regulations which are available via our website https://www.tsrc.club/rules and in the TSRC Discord. Any driver who fails to accept the rules and regulations are forbidden from entering the race.

driver briefing

A driver briefing shall be released Sunday morning in the TSRC Discord. It is mandatory for all drivers to read the briefing prior to official practice commencing. Each driver must mark the briefing with a tick to confirm you have read and understood the rules and procedures for the race. Failure to do so will result in being removed from the entry list prior to the race commencing.

free practice

On race day the server shall reset at 19:00 GMT for an official 60 minute practice session. Free practice is not mandatory for drivers, however it is advised drivers join the practice session as soon as possible to ensure there are no issues entering the server and are assigned the correct vehicle.

qualifying

It is the drivers responsibility to provide themselves sufficient space on track. It is recommended that you leave a 5-10 second gap between you and the car ahead to ensure that you can complete your hot laps without being impeded.

If you are approaching a car ahead that is slower but is also on a hot lap you must abort your lap immediately and prepare for your next lap by creating a sufficient gap to the car ahead. If you are on an out lap, in lap, or have invalidated your hot lap it is your responsibility to move off of the racing line and allow approaching cars through to continue their hot laps without being impeded.

the race

There will be a 3 minute period between qualifying and the race for you to make adjustments to set-ups, fuel allowances, tyres etc. followed by a full formation lap. Please ensure your fuel calculations include the formation lap as not all fuel calculators consider the additional lap.

The majority of incidents occur in the first few laps of a race when the grid is compact. Please take extra care during the first few laps to avoid incidents by braking earlier and always monitoring your surroundings. Race incidents can spoil the race, especially if you have spent the week practicing, and can be frustrating for many drivers so please make sure you leave racing room for each other.

Each driver shall be required to complete a mandatory pitstop to change tyres, however refuelling is optional. There is no pit window so drivers can choose their own strategy throughout the race.

You must always leave a cars width to others when battling on track to avoid collisions. When overtaking you must carry out the manoeuvre within track limits. If you are aware that you have overtaken illegally it is recommended you allow the affected driver to pass on the next available straight.

yellow flags

Yellow flags shall be waved when an incident has occurred or if a vehicle has stopped on track. When approaching yellow flags, you must slow down and be prepared to stop. You are not permitted to overtake any vehicle that did not cause the yellow flags (this does not apply when yellow flags are raised for drivers who have returned to the pit lane).

white flags

White flags are waved when you are approaching a slow moving vehicle. Be prepared to slow down in case the affected vehicle is obstructing the track. You are permitted to overtake under white flag conditions as long as it is safe to do so.

blue flags

Blue flags are waved when a faster car is approaching somebody who is not on the leading lap. The slower car must move off of the racing line when safe to do so at the earliest opportunity to allow the faster car to pass. This can vary depending on the nature of the circuit, however the general rule of thumb is within three corners. Any special instructions for blue flags shall be raised in the drivers briefing.

When allowing a faster car to pass you must be predictable to prevent yourself from delaying their lap. This should be carried out by lifting off the throttle along a straight. If you have indicators programmed to your controls it is advised you activate them in the direction you are moving to.

If you are shown a blue flag but are faster than the car behind you are permitted to stay ahead as long as you do not affect their pace. However, if you do not increase the gap within 2 laps you must allow the car to pass.

You are permitted to un lap yourself during a race if you feel you are faster than the car ahead. The move must be carried out safely ensuring the leading car does not lose time during the move. The leading car must not defend from the lapped car at any time. If you are of similar pace to the car ahead the lapped car must not overtake until there is a substantial pace difference.

red flags 

Red flags shall take place when the server disconnects or at least 20% of drivers are disconnected from the server. An announcement shall be made in the TSRC Discord regarding the race following a red flag. The following steps shall be carried out where possible:

  • If a red flag occurs in the first 15 minutes of a race, the server shall be reset from the time of disconnect and drivers will start from their qualifying positions.
  • if a red flag occurs between 15:01 - 44:59 minutes the server shall be reset from the time of disconnect. The grid shall be formed from the last completed lap prior to disconnect and an announcement shall be made in the TSRC Discord regarding pit stops.
  • If a red flag occurs in the final 15 minutes of a race the race will not recommence and the results shall be taken from the last completed lap.
  • If the server disconnects multiple times the race shall be postponed to a later date.

incidents

Incidents are a part of racing. If you are involved in an incident and lose control of the vehicle you must always hold your brakes until you come to a stop. Continue to hold your brakes to prevent yourself from rolling onto the track or into other vehicles. Once the track is clear you can then release the brakes and return to track.
