At his point, I think we have all agreed that SRS could greatly benefit from a more detailed rules/guidelines covering the expected behavior on some specific situations. There is only one debatable rule (successfull dive bombing), but all other topics seem to be common sense.
Now might be the time to check with SRS Admin if they are open to revise the rules/guidelines on the official page. If yes, we can keep discussing and refining the proposal I am putting below (based on your inputs and other threads). But if not, there is no point in continuing.
So if the Admin is reading this, please share your perspective with us. If we don't get an answer here (undertandable as there are hundreds of threads) I will write to the contact email or follow any better advice on how to contact him that you guys provide here.
===================================================================================================
New proposed rules/guidelines:
Before registering on a SRS race, practice with that exact car/track until you get consistent lap times. It is ok if you are not as fast as the top drivers, as long as you have surpassed the erratic behavior of the initial practice with that combo.
We strongly recommend that you use Helicorsa, Crewchief or any other method that eliminates your blind spots, otherwise it will be very dificult to know where your opponent is relative to you, and you might cause some accidents. You can find some apps with instructions here (link to be inserted)
- Qualifying:
Use your map/mirrors/crewchief while leaving the pit to check for traffic, specially on tracks where the pit exits in the middle of turn 1. Same applies during all your outlap (the lap you exit the pit, which doesn't count) or when you make a mistake and know that this lap will not help your position: give way to drivers hotlaping just behind you. And never race other drivers during qualifying - if there is one in front of you, slow down before the lap starts to have some space.
- Race:
Be extra carefull in turn 1. It is very hard to win a race in T1, but very easy to loose it. One mistake there can crash multiple cars.
You need to pass the rear of the other car on the straight to earn the right to dispute on the braking*. Don't dive bomb. Click here to learn more (link to be inserted)
Always give space to the opponent beside you. Don't cut or push him out of the track trying to keep your ideal race line - you have to adjust.
If you accidentally hit another car during a dispute, give back your position to prevent a protest.
Respect yellow and blue flags. Don't dispute with drivers with more laps than you.
If you spin, check and wait for traffic clearance before returning to the track. Don't cause another crash! And never drive the wrong way.
If you have to slow down for a penalty, do it without blocking those behind you.
After the finish line, incidents are still counting, so don't crash other drivers while celebrating.
* this is the debatable topic, but once we agree on the rule, there should be a video with many examples of dos and dont's.
