3.  Accumulated incidents:

4. Racing incidents:

Racing incidents will not be penalized unless they appear to be intentional. A racing incident is a term used to describe a situation where neither driver involved is predominantly at fault. Racing incidents are often seen as unavoidable situations in the heat of competition, and penalties are not applied to maintain fairness and acknowledge the unpredictable nature of racing.

***All instances of self-reporting will reduce your penalties as depicted above.***
