Behaviour on track

- As for all HSO races, it is required you use your real name both in-game and on the forum. Thank you.

- Chatting is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in race session. It is allowed in qualifying sessions for technical issues only.

- Drive Through : If a driver has to do a drive through, even if there is no pit lane speed limit, he has to drive through the pitlane at 100km/h max (60mph). If he doesn't respect this, he will get a 30s penalty at the end of the race.

- Shortcuts : If a driver gains a position after shortcutting a turn, he is required to give it back as soon as possible. In the case where a driver would not do it rapidly, a 30-second penalty will be added to his total race time. In the event of abusive and intentional shortcutting, severe sanctions will be applied (up to definitive a ban from the league). To make sure you never shortcut a turn, try to always keep two wheels on the track.

- Respect the red light at the end of the pitlane.

Application and Interpretation of the Regulations

The admins alone are qualified to solve any problems raised by the application and the interpretation of the present regulations.

It's because they have short suspension travel (comparing to the road-going version) and narrow tires (rubber thickness bit) so there isn't much give before the body and stiffness of it turns the car on two wheels.

They were even trickier to drive in that regard in rF1 so we're good to go

I'm sorry but it does not convince me. You can watch the races of these cars from the 90s and in fact these cars do not behave like that

Tarquini Disagrees with you:

Actually the drivers did not hit the kerbs as recklessly as we do, and that is a good part of it. They knew they could roll over but also easily get suspension damage. We don't in rFactor, so we tend to attack the kerbs harder than in real life would.

btw. Toyota should have 1 point in the standings from last race?
