Welcome to the SuperBaked Racing league! We're a league dedicated to sportsmanship & community building. Each member will be expected to comply with these guidelines, and treat other members in a respectful, fair, and courteous manner. Demeaning, embarrassing, derogatory, bullying, retaliatory, or disrespectful language or actions are not allowed in any session, on the Discord server, or in Discord direct messages.
The most important thing I'd like everyone to remember: We are not professional drivers. We have varying skills levels, with a common goal to improve as a group. As we improve, so will the quality of racing here. Be patient with one another.
1) Keep racing safe & respectful at all times. This is meant to be fun, don't ruin it for someone else.
2) Qualifying: Be sure to leave space for traffic. A car on a valid qualifying lap has the right of way. You are responsible to ensure you have enough space for your lap. This means making sure you aren't going to catch a slower car, who is also on a valid lap. Interfering with another drivers qualifying lap may result in penalties.
3) Race starts will be reviewed. Lap 1 incidents will be judged more harshly. Overly aggressive lap 1 overtakes may result in penalties.
4) Entering a turn, the overtaking driver must have their front wheels alongside the door of the car they are overtaking before the point of turn-in, in order to have earned the right to a racing lane. At this point the driver being overtaken is responsible to leave a lane open.
5) The overtaking driver is responsible for making a safe overtake. “Careless Driving” penalties may be awarded in cases where a move has been attempted with little chance of success or without consideration for the driver affected in case of an “extreme dive bomb”, “unsafe” rejoin, or driving into an incident without throttling down/braking, etc.
6) Bump-passing is not allowed and may be subject to penalty unless the offending driver gives back the pass, even if it occurred accidentally.
7) On a straight, a defending driver has the right to change direction, even using the entire track width if they are fully ahead of the attacking driver. Sudden changes of direction just before or within the braking zone are not permitted
8) Blocking is not allowed for any reason. Blocking is defined as altering the race line more than once in reaction to another driver in an attempt to prevent a pass. This is also referred to as "the one move rule".
9) If you're involved in an incident, please submit it to <#1216841679320121454> & talk to a <@&1202644587668307978> . An incident is defined as at least two cars making contact with one of them being forced off track, turned, spun, or damaged. All incidents should be reported, however they may not all result in penalties.
10) Retaliatory behaviour on track will not be tolerated. Take a deep breath & get on with your race. Leave it for the stewards to review. Intentional contact with another car will be penalized.
11) If a car leaves the track, it is their responsibility to re-enter safely. If you spin, HOLD YOUR BRAKES. You will be held responsible for any incidents resulting from unsafe rejoins or failure to hold brakes while spinning.
12) Blue flags: A blue-flagged driver is not allowed to defend their track position against the lapping car - they should stay on their line. Intentionally holding up or defending against a lapping car may result in penalties. Drivers about to be lapped have to behave in a predictable way without sudden changes of direction or track position.
Lapped drivers are allowed to unlap themselves as long as they can pull away after passing the driver that has a lap advantage.
