Reading and understanding the rules
Every driver participating in any event of SRO RaceRoom series is agreeing to having understood the rules, and is agreeing to obeying to the rules. By entering, you are bound to the rules. Failure to understand the rules is not an excuse. If you have questions about certain rules, ask the staff via "conversation" HERE

General Behavior
Every driver participating in any SRO event of RaceRoom must always show good behavior. Any discriminatory or offending actions, words, posts or contents are forbidden and can lead to permanent exclusion of the events.

Accounts
You have to enter your SRO real name in your RaceRoom in game account in order to participate. Fake names or names with clan tags are not allowed.

Decisions by the Staff
The decisions made by the SRO RaceRoom staff are binding. If a situation is not covered by the rules, the SRO RaceRoom Staff will have the final decision on it. Any statements made by the SRO RaceRoom Staff on the Forums, at Events, in Text Chatting or in Voice Chatting, that are specified as rules, also count as rules and have to be accepted by all drivers.

Changes
SRO explicitly reserves the right to amend or modify these conditions at any time, with effect for the future. The competitors shall be notified about this at a suitable point.

Track Limits
The track boundaries are following the in game penalties. In general, they are as follows: 2 wheels always on track, kerbs count as track. Track-specific exceptions will be explained in the gridmail. When you exceed the track boundaries, you will see a black and white flag on your screen and your lap time is disallowed. In some cases, it may be possible to skip entire corners or sections of the track. This is not allowed, and will result in a manual penalty after the race.

Wall Riding

General Sportsmanship
Drivers must respect the sport, the competition and their competitors. Drivers must always aim to achieve the best result for themselves in each race, while driving within the rules and obeying to fair play.

 

Important Basics
First of all, make sure that you are always in control of your car. This is the most important rule. Inability to control your car is not an excuse if you cause an accident.

You do not want to make a fool out of yourself.
