Elite Racing Series – Official League Rules

The use of AI Driver Mode is strictly prohibited during all qualifying sessions and races.

At the beginning of each race session, no driver is permitted to ready up. Only the designated race host may initiate the session start to ensure lobby stability.

Rage quitting or intentionally leaving a session without a legitimate technical or personal reason will not be tolerated.

Any driver who fails to attend a race without providing at least two (2) hours’ notice will forfeit seat priority for the following race. A reserve driver will have first right of refusal to that seat.

Any deliberate contact intended to damage, retire, or unfairly disadvantage another driver is strictly prohibited.

All drivers must conduct themselves respectfully. Disputes, complaints, or steward inquiries must be handled privately through league officials. Public arguing or protesting penalties in open chat is prohibited.

Open voice communication is permitted during qualifying and race sessions.

In the event of a mid-race disconnection, drivers are permitted to rejoin the session if possible. All league lobbies operate as friends-only; drivers must add the race host and league administrators in advance.

All drivers must confirm attendance no later than five (5) hours before race start time.

Any driver who misses two (2) consecutive races without a valid and approved reason will forfeit their full-time seat, which will be offered to a reserve driver.

All on-track incidents are subject to steward review, including but not limited to contact, track limits, unsafe rejoins, blocking, and driving standards.

Drivers who record a DNF but are officially classified within the top 10 positions will receive points corresponding to their finishing position.

All drivers are required to save their race replay every race weekend. Replays must be provided upon request for steward investigations.

Drivers are expected to race cleanly and predictably. Excessive weaving, dive-bombing without overlap, brake checking, or unsafe defensive moves may be penalized.

Track limits are defined as per in-game regulations unless otherwise stated. Repeated abuse of track limits to gain an advantage may result in steward penalties.

Drivers must rejoin the track safely after an off-track excursion. Causing collisions or forcing other drivers off-track due to unsafe rejoins is prohibited.

One defensive move is permitted per straight. Reactive or late blocking in braking zones is not allowed and may result in penalties.

Lapped drivers must comply with blue flags and facilitate a safe and timely pass. Ignoring blue flags may result in penalties.

During formation laps, drivers must maintain safe gaps, avoid unnecessary weaving, and refrain from aggressive acceleration or braking.

Drivers on out-laps must yield to drivers on hot laps. Impeding another driver during qualifying may result in grid penalties.

League stewards retain full discretion in determining penalties based on severity, intent, and precedent.

• Qualifying bans
• Race bans
• Grid penalties
• Time penalties
• Points deductions
• Permanent league ban

Repeated violations of league rules may result in escalated penalties, regardless of individual incident severity.

League administrators reserve the right to amend or update these rules. Drivers will be notified of any changes prior to enforcement.

The decision of league administrators and stewards is final. Failure to comply with rulings may result in disciplinary action.
