Sign Up
All drivers who hold a licensed membership can apply for one of the 28 places in the league. Sign-ups are on a first come basis, and
premium members will be given priority. Drivers not on the immediate list will be placed on the reserves list. You do not need to be an alien to participate, all skill levels are welcome and you will likely find other drivers to battle with.
You may sign up as a team, or as an individual driver, however points will only be kept for the drivers' championship. Maximum number of drivers per team is 2.
Details about how to sign up are in the
sign up thread. Do not sign up unless you can make all 5 rounds. Reserve drivers will be welcomed into events as and when a slot opens.
Cars and Skins
All drivers will use the Formula Vee. When you sign up, you may also submit a skin to
@Davy Vandevenne ensuring that all files are in working order. If you do not have a skin, you will be provided with one, you should indicate your preference when signing up from the two available (see the
sign up thread). Skins should be submitted by Friday September 26th 2014 – any skins submitted after this date will
not be included. A final skin pack will be made available for download shortly after.

All races will begin with a

Absence
When you sign up, you are agreeing to be present during all races of the season (including the test event) unless you provide an absence report with a valid excuse to the staff. Absences need to be reported at least 24 hours in advance. Failure to do so may lead to point penalties or exclusion from future leagues. If you happen to miss out on an event and go missing in action without giving any notice, the race staff reserve the rights to terminate your licensed member status at Race Department.
Rules
The RDFVC will be governed by the rules you all agreed to when you requested your racing license. They can
and should be reviewed
here. The only difference to these rules are that if you cause an incident and disadvantage another driver, you do not need to wait as the incident can be reported after the race and necessary penalties will be applied.
Incidents
In cases where the rules have been broken, it is up to the drivers to report the violation. The staff encourages this and will only investigate incidents that are reported by drivers. Send your incident reports via PM to Andrew James within 3 days of the race.
Incidents not submitted in time will not be considered. Incidents reported by people who were not in the race will not be considered.
No incident report = no investigation = no penalty.
Incident reports must contain the following:
- Name of the league: RDFVC
- The name of the reported driver (the violator)
- A link to a video that shows the incident from various angles and perspectives. The incident will be viewed by several staff members, some who do not have GSCE, therefore a replay file is not sufficient.
- A short description of the incident, without rant.
You must always send the report with your own forum account. After the report is sent and received, the staff will investigate the incident. The staff decision on each incident is
final.
Finger pointing, swearing, as well as naming and shaming other competitors or staff will not be tolerated! Incidents reported outside of a PM are also not permitted. This will be strictly enforced and a penalty of 5 championship points will be applied to the offending person.
Test Event
On Sunday 28 September, a test event will be held. The purpose of this event is to ensure all the skins work properly, for a test live steam (should there be one; this is currently being worked on), and to ensure your graphics etc., are correctly set. Some people have experienced stuttering at some tracks in the Vees, and it is better to iron that out in the test event than have an incident in the league. Further details about the test event will be posted closer to the time, and all drivers in the league should participate.
