Rules additions:
- Incident review
At this point we dont have a live stewarding solution, so incidents are only going to be looked at when appealed.
If you want to submit a incident review/appeal, send me (Justin Klerk - justink#0134) a PM on discord or RD forum within 24 hours of the end of the event. In the PM, make sure to include a video with all of the different perspectives (heli, FPV you, and opponent, also include pedals app in AC). If this video is not present, we are not going to review the incident.
- Corner cutting
As we all know, the corner cutting system in AC is terrible, so we will use a honour system. We are all here to race and have a good time, so don't abuse it please. Corner cuts can happen, but if someone is abbusing it, report it, and we will hand out penalties accordingly.
- HeliCorsa
Finally, we request that all drivers use HeliCorsa (or a similar radar application), In order to provide the cleanest racing possible. https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/helicorsa.5199/
- Backmarkers
In the race it can happen that the leader of the race has caught up to you, please make sure you give enough space to the leaders to get by you. It is however the responsibility of the overtaking car to pass cleanly. A thing to help with this is making use of the realtime app in AC, and make use off the virtual mirror (highly recommended).
- Practice Server
A practice server will be available and set to the upcoming race. It is linked to the simracing.gp events, so you'll be able to find it there:

Password: can be found at the SGP page of the next event
