- Always follow what Race Marshalls tell.
- Teams racing with no livery will be given a DT penalty. So atleast some kind of racing livery must be used.
- In the case of a server crash, or of a situation in which a large number of drivers are unable to reconnect to the server, a red flag may be declared by the admins.
In this case, a red flag point will be determined, defined as the last completed lap before the server problems manifested themselves.

Can I use Red Bull livery, or I have to make my own?

So long as it has your name and number in the required areas, thats fine.
some critics
Quote :2.2 – To score points, driver needs to reach the finish line after leader.

Would be unfair to those who have a disconnect on the last lap. How about making it like LFSstats would do? (And I think spdoDB does it too) At least they would be classified.

Quote :3.3 – Common sense must be used on track.

lol

Quote :3.4 - Blue flagged drivers need to remain on the racing line while being lapped. Cars who are overtaking are expected to overtake the blue flagged car safely.

I think this could cause trouble, especially when those cars need to stay on the racing line. I think a phrase like "The backmarker should not interfere with the lead lap car's race" should be better.

(more to come thoughts)
Quote :2.2 – To score points, driver needs to reach the finish line after leader.

So points are given only from 2nd place onwards and winner gets nought, as the winner can't finish after himself?

It will be a hell of a lot better with you in the admin group
I am re-writing the rules as we speak, as they aren't exactly..........................clear in this version.
... I've recieved eMails and PMs (for reasons I don't know) that the rules on the website are hard to read, and that some people can barely read anything... Do you mind changing the font to something else, or increasing the text size?

As much as the website is shitty and should be corrected, do people not know how to zoom or resize in their browsers? Or perhaps the good old, copy all of the text and paste it into notepad method?
... maybe the IT-education level decreases... I don't know...
