3.Racing
3.1. Qualification
3.1.1
Qualification will be completed in Full form with 15 riders or more. With less than 15 drivers, Q1 will be skipped. A lap time must first be set here , after which you drive back to the pits and retire
The total time for this is +/- 45 min.
Go out of your pit box and onto the track! LOOK GOOD AROUND YOU! so you don’t get in anyone’s way.
If you drive a fast lap and the person in front of you also drives a fast lap, then that person has the right to keep his line! He was always busy before!
3.2. The racing
3.2.1 If you take part in the race and spin or fall behind and retire, you will automatically be banned from qualifying for the next race! It is very annoying when someone drives around as a ghost. So if you do decide to retire, please do so in the pits.
3.2.2
A lot happens during the race of course!
On the opening lap and especially in Turn 1!
NEVER FORGET YOU DON’T WIN A RACE HERE!
Give each other space to win it back later. Overtaking is allowed, but of course do this wisely and as cleanly as possible!
Turn 1 will therefore be viewed STRONGER.
DO OR THOSE ACTIONS are of no use to us!
3.2.3
Defending your position is of course allowed!
You have to do this even as long as it is within the rules!
DEVIDE YOUR LINE 1 TIME! If you know yourself that the person behind you is so much faster, admit your loss! You will benefit from this yourself because you lose less time!
3.2.4
Getting lapped will probably happen to everyone at least once!
This is of course not a problem, everyone has an off day!
If this happens to you, admit it!! Never deviate from your line and give the person behind you the chance to get past you as clean as possible!
So make room for the faster participant as soon as possible!

1. Record a game clip of the moment of the incident!
