Drop Races: There will be two (2) drop races available throughout the season to allow for real life commitments. The RD Star Mazda Staff understand that things may come up but please make sure before signing up that you will at least be able to attend six (6) out of the eight (8) races.

Incidents, Investigations and Penalties:
Please remember, the League staff will only review the first lap of each race as standard procedure - any other incidents must be reported before any review will be undertaken.

No report = no review.

Please try and remember the incident reporting guidelines: review, cool off, review again. Only after following the above process, and if you are convinced you still need to report it, should you let the league staff know. Send a PM to either Will Marquez, Kevin Watts, Abdul Ahmed or William Nowell. Please give as much information as possible during the report (time of incident, drivers involved etc.)

Any accusations or complaints aired in the chat during or after a race will mean a penalty levied on the person complaining or making the accusations, even if a subsequent official complaint gets found in their favour. We simply will NOT tolerate any post race finger pointing.

First lap penalty: If a driver causes an incident on the first lap of the race resulting in a major damage to another car, he will start from pitlane in the next race entered.

Blue flag: The driver receiving the blue flag is responsible of moving out of the racing line and give way to the lapping car as early as possible. In most situations, the driver receiving the blue flag will be deemed at fault in case of an incident with a front runner unless the incident is caused by the lapping driver's negligence.

Making contact from behind: In most situations a driver causing an incident by making contact from behind will be found guilty and penalized (a blue flag situation is one of the exceptions).

No Shows: If a driver does not post that they will not be attending a certain race. That will be considered a no show. Two or more no shows and the RD Star Mazda Series Staff can possibly remove that driver from league. Please if you are unable to attend a race, a simple post stating that you cannot attend will suffice.
 
Everyone please download the RD Star Mazda Skinpack before the race.

Place the .tga files in your My Documents/iRacing/paint/cars/formulamazda folder. This is the same skinpack from Round 1.

----------------

Hello RD Star Mazda Racers,

Please read carefully the entire briefing as you are required to know ALL of this information.

1- CHAT:

Text Chat is*forbidden*during the race. Voice chat is acceptable but please be courteous to your fellow races and keep this to an absolute minimum.

2.- Start procedure:

Standing Start. You will have 2 minutes to place your car on the grid.

3.- Reset Car:

*During Open Practice or Race, if you must press the reset car button to remove your car off track and return to pits or use a Fast Tow, please do so by either pulling off track but most importantly remove yourself from the racing line as there are also others on the track as well.

4.- Qualifying Session:

During Qualifying, you get an outlap, and only TWO consecutive hotlaps.

5.-*Incidents, Appeals & Penalties[From the RD League Regulations edited for the RD Star Mazda Series]

It may happen that rules get violated. In such cases it is up to the drivers to report the violation. The staff encourages this and will only investigate incidents that are reported by drivers.

***YOU MUST WAIT FOR 24 HOURS TO COOL DOWN BEFORE YOU CAN SUBMIT A REPORT***

Any reports sent in within 24hours of the race will be not be reviewed.

Public rants will not be tolerated after the race. Posts of these nature will be deleted and a warning will be given to people involved.

No report = no investigation = no penalty*

A report can be sent to the RD Star Mazda Staff (Kevin Watts, Will Marquez, Abdul Ahmed and William Nowell) by private message. It must always contain:

* The name of the reported driver (the violator)
* Replay lap# of the incident
* A short description of the incident, without rant

You must always send the report with your own forum account. You can only send a report if you were actually in the race. Report from outsider will be not be considered.

The staff will then investigate the incident.

Reports must be sent after at least a 24 hour cool down period, within no more than 2 days of the finish of the race. Reports that come in too late might not be considered.
