    Questions:
    I have read the racing rules, so just to clarify:
    - pressing esc during qualify means qualify is over, correct? It means that if you press esc during qualy you are no longer allowed to restart from the pits. The time you have set up to that point is your best time. Should you ignore the rule and try to improve your lap, the stewards will issue you a penalty after the race.
    - will there be a warmup lap? No, standing start
    - punting someone off results in a drive-through asap? Regretfully penalty's have been turned off in this group. However it is common decency to let the car you punted off back past you. Should you not do so, the stewards will look into it after the race and issue a penalty if need be.
    - what exactly if you slide off track with 4 tires? Grey area this one. Since penalties are turned off in this group (my belief is they should be on) there is no direct penalty for doing so. What I do is I slow down and deliberately lose time so to show I did not gain time by going off track


    THIS IS MY VIEW ON THE RULES! ADMINS MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER VIEW

    Roy has pretty much covered the answers Tim, but I'll add a little to them.

    ESC in qual - you can do this if you drive into the pits first. It's just not allowed out on track.

    Warmup session - AC does not currently provide for this in the server configuration options. For a specific series, if required,we could always decide at the Green Light to do a Formation lap/Rolling start as a manual procedure. This would to a degree allow a little pre-heating of tyres/brakes I suppose, but not the same as a warmup. If you are thinking of having a toilet/cigarette break after qual, we do have a 2min pre-race break for you to join the grid when you are ready.

    Punting - During a race it's not always clear whether you caused another car to go off or not example Historic F3 Outlon Park Race 1 on Tuesday when Angelo dos Santos and I came together at Turn 1. In cases like that it can be reviewed post race (by SRO Admins) if one or other of the drivers involved feels the need after watching the replay, to log a protest. The other situation is where you may make a mistake, run into somebody and knock them off track thus affecting their race. At SRO we expect the driver who causes the problem in those clear cut situations to take a voluntary drive-through.

    4 wheels off track - mistakes will happen to everyone at some time/s, but it is the obvious disregard for track limits that our rules refer to here. If it is noted or brought to our attention that a driver has blatantly cut the track at specific points, lap after lap, then it is likely to attract a penalty whether or not it results in a faster lap time. There can be additional advantages, other than time, that can be gained by such driving e.g. lower tyre wear or better positioning for an overtake etc.

    Yaayyy got there in the end :) Thanks Andre.
    It's been noted that the skin allocation is not working as planned Tim. We are looking into it and hopefully it will be fixed before the race.
