SIGNUP

All drivers must read and accept the TSRC Racing Rules.

To take part you must join TSRC discord so that you can see any updates

Priority for car numbers will be given to those who have raced with us before.

If you are not able to register please check that you have added your PSN ID and all other information in your SimGrid Profile, and that you are following 'The Sim Racing Collective'.

Contact TC_WhiteRider via TSRC discord if you have any problems or questions.

INCIDENT REPORTING

You are responsible for providing video evidence of any incidents that you are involved in. All drivers are asked to save the video of their race using the Share Button at the end of the race, or by streaming live.  Other drivers' videos may be used to see different angles of incidents, so please try to save if anything happened in front of you, even if you weren't involved.

(To increase video clip size, go to System Settings on PS Homepage > Sharing and Broadcasts > Video Clip Settings > Length of Video Clip > Select 60 Mins.)

Ideally you should also configure ACC to the "new" replay mode and save a replay in game at the end of the race.  This will allow you to provide a video of different camera angles if required.

To report an incident send a private message to the league admin TC_WhiteRider on discord as soon as possible (and within 24 hours), and share your video clip (e.g. on youtube or twitch).  If sharing a short clip please include at least 10 seconds before and after the incident.  Note the race number and lap number.

WITHDRAWING FROM A ROUND

It is important to notify us if you cannot attend a race so that a reserve can take your place. If you cannot attend a race you can simply click the "WITHDRAW" button in the Races page of the championship on The Sim Grid website under the admin tab of the specific round.

If you fail to attend a race without withdrawing you will receive penalty points that carry over into other championships, and can potentially get you disqualified from the championship.  Drivers who do not race and fail to withdraw risk being moved to the reserve list to allow someone else to take your place.
