Penalty System
An outline of the penalty levels that could be issued in the Penalty Box.
NOTICE
A Notice will be issued for basic rules reminders.
Notices may be issued as a notice/reminder for any basic rules that admins would like to inform driver(s) about.
(As an example, drivers should be using correctly numbered custom schemes).
Once driver(s) receives a Notice, any further violations of the same rule will be elevated to a higher penalty level, depending on the severity of the violation.
H1 PENALTY
A H1 Penalty will result in any combination of the following penalties based on the severity of the violation.
EOL TO START NEXT RACE
EOL TO START NEXT HEAT/MAIN
(within a heat race session format)
Drivers may receive a H1 Penalty for any violations that happen in a Heat Race session (including B/C-Mains). If admins are aware of any violations during a session, drivers may receive an EOL to start the next heat race/main of that session. If any violations are found in post-race review, drivers may receive an EOL to start the next race, or heat race/main of that series.
Any violations may be elevated to a higher penalty level, without warning or a H1 Penalty, depending on the severity of the violation.
Once a driver receives a H1 Penalty, any further H1 or other penalties will be elevated to a higher penalty level, depending on the severity of the violation.
FOR EXAMPLE:
One H1 Penalty + second H1 penalty = P1 Penalty (plus EOL next Race/Round)
One H1 Penalty + P1 Penalty = P1 or P2 Penalty
One H1 Penalty + P2 Penalty = P2 or P3 Penalty
