Bans for the 2017 Season
Posted: Wed 04 Jan 2017, 8:50 pm
Drivers will be warned and could be banned for breaking the following rules during meetings:
1. Oppo (wrong way) on straights; this is defined as "wrong way driving wholly outside of the marked corners or wrong way hits outside of the marked corners"
2. Pitting and rejoining any race (including the DD)
3. Lossy hits against the barriers
4. Hits from the infield
5. Intentional blocking or pinning of another racer that does not allow them to race
6. Cutting across the infield (on layouts with an open infield) in all races (including the DD) to either gain a race advantage or to hit another driver
7. Intentional hard hitting on grid while lining up (as in hits which ruin the grid completely)
8. Breaking the Clutch Cooling Rule
9. Breaking the Rolled Rule
10. Not going forward from the start of a race, e.g. intentionally braking on the grid or intentionally reversing off the grid. This does not apply to the DD.
11. Changing car during meeting.
A rule break in a standard race / DD will result in a warning being issued.
A rule break in a Championship final will result in a double warning being issued. The standard rule applies to other races in Championship meetings.
For rule 11, 2 "mini-warnings" will be issued for this offence before it constitutes a warning, i.e. if you changed car 3 times, the third change would result in a warning.
3 warnings will result in a 1 week server and 2 week meeting ban. In the event of a driver receiving over 3 warnings in a meeting, the warnings after the third will be ignored. In the case of an appeal resulting in one of these warnings being rescinded, the additional warnings will be used to discipline the driver instead.
If a driver receives 3 more warnings after their ban expires, they will receive a 2 week server and 4 week meeting ban.
Collecting 3 more warnings after this ban (9 in total) will result in a 4 week server and 8 week meeting ban.
Collecting 3 more warnings after the third ban (12 in total) will result in a permanent server and league ban.
Warnings will expire 4 weeks after the meeting in question and all bans will start from the date of the meeting.
Bans will be removed from the records a year after the date of expiry.
