Just a little about ARS, we are just friends racing together. We respect one another and enjoy the night of racing. We race a variety of disciplines on Monday, Friday and Saturday nights. We do not charge anyone to race with us. If you would like to sponsor a season of racing with your rules, disciplines, set ups and cars all you have to do is pay for the events.
Absolutely no public flaming on ARS hosted outlets (including iRacing chat). No speaking ill of one another. We do reserve the right to remove anyone who just doesn't fit in with the group.
The rules for the event are dependent on the event you are participating in.
We do NOT clear black flags during a racing event for ANY reason in the races unless the sponsor of the event has made an exception.
Save replay just in case you or another driver has protested to something during the event. iRacing has an OFFICIAL SPORTING CODE and we adhere to those at ARS: https://www.iracing.com/iracing-official-sporting-code/ If you feel any member of ARS has violated iRacing Rule of Conduct, then I would highly encourage you to file a protest with iRacing. Just because it is a league race, iRacing Rule of Conduct violations should be addressed by iRacing. In there a couple rules stand out:
6.8.2.3. The race should be started by the Green Flag or Leader once the pace car has left the racing surface. As the front row of cars approach the start/finish line, the green flag will be shown, signifying the start of the race.
6.8.2.9. Drivers are not allowed to approach the start/finish line as a race transitions from pacing, for example under yellow flag or at the start of a race, to speeds that are well beyond the pacing speed or speed of the leaders in an attempt to time the green flag to unfairly overtake other cars. An example of this would be to come up behind and catch a pack of cars pacing at 80 mph under yellow flag conditions at a speed of 150 mph in the vicinity of the start/finish line just as the race goes to green flag, and passing those cars. Under those conditions, the car catching up to the field from behind should slow down and get in line at the back of the pack at pacing speed and then begin racing as normal once the green flag is given.
6.10.3. Deliberate, blatant, intentionally malicious, or retaliatory wrecking, for any reason, is prohibited. Competitors who believe that they have been victims of such action – and those competitors who believe that they have witnessed such action – are strongly encouraged to file a protest through the proper channels.
8.1.1.3. Blocking – The leading driver is allowed to run a defensive line. However, blocking occurs when a leading driver actively adjusts his or her driving line based on the actions and/or positioning of a pursuing driver. For example, veering left to prevent a pursuing driver from passing on the left while running on a straight.
8.1.1.5. Intentional Caution – Drivers intentionally stopping on or off the racing surface to intentionally bring out a caution period for their benefit, or the benefit of another driver, is forbidden and subject to adverse administrative and /or punitive actions.
If you have a problem with a driver, address it with them directly and if you cannot resolve it together, elevate to an Admin as the absolute last option. Intentional wrecking will not be tolerated. Even if it is after the checker flag or you feel you were delivering payback. That will get you banned. If you'd like to enjoy racing again with us, then search for the iRacing league "ACTION Racing Series" on the iRacing UI and APPLY. We'd love to have you out on the track with us.
Thanks,
Tom
