15. DRIVING

15.1 - Drivers are strictly forbidden to drive their car in the opposite direction to the race unless this is absolutely necessary in order to move the car from a dangerous position.

15.2 - Drivers must make every reasonable effort to use the track at all times and may not deliberately leave the track without a justifiable reason.

Drivers will be judged to have left the track if no part of the car remains in contact with it and, for the avoidance of doubt, any white or yellow lines defining the track edges are considered to be part of the track but the curbs are not.

Should a car leave the track the driver may rejoin, however, this may only be done when it is safe to do so and without gaining any lasting advantage. At the absolute discretion of the Race Director and/or stewards a driver may be given the opportunity to give back the whole of any advantage he gained by leaving the track.

15.3 - At no time may a car be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers. This will apply whether any such car is being driven on the track, the pit entry or the pit lane.

15.4 - More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted. Any driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his position off-line, should leave at least one car width between his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner.

15.5 - Any driver defending his position on a straight, and before any braking area, may use the full width of the track during his first move, provided no significant portion of the car attempting to pass is alongside his. Whilst defending in this way the driver may not leave the track without justifiable reason.

For the avoidance of doubt, if any part of the front wing of the car attempting to pass is alongside the rear wheel of the car in front this will be deemed to be a 'significant portion'.

15.6 - Maneuvers liable to hinder other drivers, such as deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are not permitted.

15.7 - As soon as a car is caught by another car which is about to lap it during the race the driver must allow the faster driver past at the first available opportunity. If the driver who has been caught does not allow the faster driver past, waved blue flags will be shown to indicate that he must allow the following driver to overtake.

15.8 - Drivers are strictly forbidden to use the Escape (ESC) key outside the speed-limited pit area throughout the entirety of Qualifying. Drivers who are forced to press the ESC key outside the speed-limited pit area are not allowed back out from their garages for the remainder of the currently running qualifying session (Q1 or Q2).

15.9 - Drivers that suffer an accident that results in the loss of the rear wing, a wheel, or the engine, will have to abandon the currently running qualifying session (Q1 or Q2) immediately.

15.10 - The Qualifying session will be reviewed after the race is over. Drivers who are found leaving their garages after hitting the ESC key outside the speed-limited pit area or who breach article 15.9 will be automatically excluded from both Official Qualifying and Race results.

15.11 - During Qualifying, drivers must, at all times, exercise caution and drive away from the racing line within the track limits during pit-in laps.

15.12 - Drivers must, at all times, drive back to the pit lane without the assistance of others after the chequered flag has been waved at them indicating the end of Qualifying or Race. Drivers who are unable to return to the pits or are involved in an incident will be investigated in accordance with article 24.

16. PIT ENTRY, PIT LANE AND PIT EXIT

16.1 - The pit lane will be divided into two lanes, the lane closest to the pit wall will be designated the "fast lane", the lane closest to the garages will be designated the "inner lane". At no moment, a driver may circulate in the inner lane at fast lane speeds and vice-versa.

16.2 - When coming out of the pit lane, the pit exit line must not be crossed. For the avoidance of doubt, if two wheels have entirely crossed the pit exit line, the driver is deemed to have crossed the line and a 5-second time penalty will be added to his final race time.

17. EVENT TIMETABLE

17.1 - Unless unexpected technical difficulties that might cause a delay, a Championship Event week timetable is as follows:

1. From 21:30 to 21:42 (Q1) all cars will be permitted on the track and at the end of this period, the drivers outside the top 10 will be prohibited from taking any further part in the session. Laps achieved by the top 10 will then be deleted.
2. From 21:45 to 21:53 (Q2) the ten remaining cars will be permitted on the track.

19.2 - Parc fermé conditions are in effect starting with the first timed lap in the first qualifying session (Q1).

19.3 - Drivers that fail to join the server during qualifying but recorded a lap time during the free practices will be moved to the back of the grid in the order in which they arrive during the warm-up session.

19.4 - To prevent disrupting a driver's timed lap, both qualifying sessions will take place on a closed server meaning that joining the server during qualifying will not be allowed by rFactor 2.

20. PARC FERME

20.1 - Each car will be deemed to be in parc fermé from the time at which it sets a lap time during qualifying, including the first qualifying session (Q1), until the start of the race.

• Starting fuel load.
• Tire compound.
• Front wing angle.
• Engine RPM limit.
• Steering lock.
• Brake BIAS.
• Brake pressure.
• Engine brake map.
• Engine torque map.
• MGU-H boost.

21. THE GRID

21.1 - The grid will be drawn up as follows:

1. The last twelve positions will be occupied by the cars eliminated during Q1, the fastest in 11th position.
2. The top ten positions will be occupied by the cars which took part in Q2, the fastest in pole position.
3. Once the grid has been established in accordance with a. and b. above, grid position penalties will be applied to the drivers in question in the order the offenses were committed.

21.2 - Drivers that leave the server after the starting grid has been set during the warm-up session will be moved to the back of the grid with their position determined by the order in which they rejoin the server.

22. STARTING PROCEDURE

22.1 - Prior to the race start, there will be a 5-minute warm-up period where drivers are allowed to go on the track and perform system checks. There will be an additional three-minute wait at the end of the warm-up for drivers who disconnected during this session. During the extended wait time, the track will be closed and no drivers will be allowed to go out of their respective garages.

22.2 - When the final warm-up period expires, the Race Director will move the server to the race session. A 30-second timer will begin the countdown for the cars to line-up on the grid. Drivers that remain in the server and are unable to line-up on the grid before the 30-second timer expires will start the race from the pit lane. If a driver is disconnected from the server before it loads the starting lights sequence, the server will be moved back to the warm-up session and wait for a maximum of 3 minutes for the driver to rejoin on the back of the grid.

22.3 - After the 45-second timer elapses, the game will signal the start of the formation lap with the pole position driver leading.

When leaving the grid all drivers must respect the pit lane speed limit until they pass pole position.

22.4 - During the formation lap, practice starts are forbidden and the formation must be kept as tight as possible.

22.5 - Overtaking during the formation lap is only permitted if a car is delayed and cars behind cannot avoid passing it without unduly delaying the remainder of the field. In this case, drivers may only overtake to re-establish the original starting order. Any driver delayed in this way, and who is unable to re-establish the original starting order before he reaches the pit entry line, must start from the pit lane.

22.6 - Drivers that suffer unrepairable damages during the formation lap must start the race from the pit lane if they wish to continue.

22.7 - When the cars come back to the grid at the end of the formation lap, they will stop within their respective grid positions, keeping their engines running.

There will be a standing start, the signal being given by means of lights activated by rFactor 2 itself once all the cars have come to a halt and are lined up properly.

22.8 - If, after returning to the starting grid at the end of the formation lap a problem arises, the following procedures shall apply:

1. If the track lights are malfunctioning 30 seconds after all cars have stopped in their respective grid positions, a race restart will be issued. In such case, the Race Director will announce an extra formation lap and the race length will remain the same.
2. If the track lights malfunction for the second time, the server will be restarted and the formation lap will be disabled. In such case, the race length will be reduced by two laps.
3. Should there be a synchronization problem with the server, the race will be restarted.

22.9 - Once the race has started signaled by the track lights, no restarts may be issued under any circumstances unless there's a server malfunction within the first five laps of the race.

23. THE RACE

23.1 - During the race, drivers leaving the pit lane may only do so when the light at the end of the pit lane is green and on their own responsibility. A flashing blue light will warn the driver if cars are approaching on the track. It is absolutely prohibited to leave the pit lane under a red light. Leaving the pit lane under a red light will result in an automatic disqualification by rFactor 2 itself.

23.2 - In the event of a server failure before the race leader has covered half the race distance in laps, the server will be rebooted. Drivers that had not retired prior to the server failure will be given 10 minutes to rejoin the server. The Race Director will then adjust the starting grid based on the positions each driver was the lap in which the server failed. The race distance will be adjusted to the remaining laps prior to the failure. The session will then proceed with the starting procedure as stated in Article 22 of these Regulations.

23.3 - In the event of a server failure after the race leader has covered half the race distance in laps, the race will be considered over and full points will be given.

24. INCIDENTS DURING THE RACE

24.1 - "Incident" means any occurrence or series of occurrences involving one or more drivers, or any action by any driver, which is observed by the Race Director or a steward which:

1. Constituted a breach of these Regulations.
2. Caused a false start by one or more cars.
3. Caused a collision.
4. Forced a driver off the track.
5. Illegitimately prevented a legitimate overtaking maneuver by a driver.

2. A five-second stop-and-go penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane, stop in his pit stop position for at least five seconds and then rejoin the race.
3. A ten-second stop-and-go penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane, stop in his pit stop position for at least ten seconds and then rejoin the race.

If either of the three penalties above is imposed after the end of a race by the Race Director, 20 seconds will be added to the elapsed race time of the driver concerned in the case of a. above, 25 seconds in the case of b., and 30 seconds in the case of c.

4. A time penalty.
5. A reprimand.
6. A drop of any number of grid positions at the driver's next event.

Such incidents include but are not limited to: ignoring blue flags, chatting before it is permitted, causing a collision, etc.

25. CLASSIFICATION

25.1 - The car placed first will be the one having covered the scheduled distance in the shortest time. All cars will be classified taking into account the number of complete laps they have covered, and for those which have completed the same number of laps, the order in which they crossed the Line.

25.2 - Cars having covered less than 75% of the number of laps covered by the winner (rounded down to the nearest whole number of laps), will not be classified and no points will be awarded.
