Exile Racing Rule Book V2.3


1.Driver Eligibility
Any driver who wishes to race with us must sign up to ExileRacing.net using the same name as in his Arca08 player file. He must also sign up for the desired series via the league sign up sheet in the forum. All drivers must also read and abide by the rule book. Only clean drivers who race with respect for their fellow racers are allowed.


2. Points
ALL Exile Racing League events will use the ASC points system. In the event of a tie at the end of the season, the driver with the most wins will become champion. If both drivers have the same amount of wins, then we will go to 2nd place finishes, and so on until the tie is broken.

3. Race Administration
Exile Racing has 8 administrators/officials to help with this task so we will have 2 guys volunteer to officiate the series, one primary and one backup, dividing them up ever how they see fit. These guys will make sure someone is sitting out watching each race to make judjment calls. This is a tuff job so if you cause an accident call it out so the official knows what cars to review. Also if an admin/official wrecks out early he must stick around to help in the officials job.


4. Car Number Selection
Drivers may request a car number that is not already taken by a current member of the Exile Racing Leagues Driver's Roster, or a Exile Racing League Admin. Once a car number is assigned, you MAY NOT ask for another car number until the following season. All car numbers will be unique to the registered driver and no car number may be duplicated between different league divisions.


5. Car files
Instead of having complete league cars that have their own folders in the game we use dds files(skins) only and drop them in the default cars folders that are already a part of the game. So here is what you do, lets say for example your number is 16 and you drive a Toyota. You would need to look in the game and see what default car you would want your skin to go in, people who dont have your skin downloaded like people in open servers will see that car. In the case of the number 16 camry you would notice there is no 16 so find a car and number you want, lets say we are going to put our #16 Camry skin in the number #14 Carmy default car. You would create a folder named 14Skins and put your dds file for your car skin in it, also inside that 14Skins folder create a folder and name it MISC and put your rims, suite, and helmet inside it. Once done just zip that up and send it to Stroker@exileracing.net , make sure when you send it to him you tell him your driver name, your number and the default car you wish your skins to be added to. We have a 3 skin limit, also there will be no updates during the series schedule. Prefered method of naming the files is example: Stroker_S1, Stroker_S2, and Stroker_S3. This allows you to change your skins from season to season without creating many files and leave unused skins in everyones game, each season name your skins the same thing so they will overwrite your old skins with each update.


6. Attendance 
You CAN NOT have a substitute driver.


7. Provisional Points
Provisional points will be given to any driver that request them before the drivers meeting for said race. Provisional points will be last place for that event meaning, if last place is 15th and that driver earns 120 points a provisional for that race would earn 115 points. If 3 drivers request provisional finishes for that race they each earn 115 points.



8. Race Postponement:
In the event a race must be postponed due to equipment failure, bad weather, etc…, all racers will be notified before the race (if possible) and a make up date will be scheduled by the league administrator. Server drop out or extensive lag will be considered as rain and treated the same as in the Arca series. If it happens short of the half way point of the race it will be rescheduled and ran at a later date. If it happens after the half way point of the race it will finish there.


9. Race Password
All race servers will be locked with a password on league night that each driver can view via the web site race information link prior to the race. The race password will change on a weekly basis but will be listed there from the beginning of the season.. If a driver is found to be sharing Exile Racing server information with non-league members, that member will be terminated from the league.


10. 2 Spin Rule
You will be ask to park for the rest of the race by the Admin of the race if you cause 2 accidents or 1 accident and 1 self spin or 2 self spins either under green or under yellow which causes the caution to be bought out or extended during the race. To go along with this we are implementing "The Spinner Spinnie Rule" - If a driver gets into someone else causing an accident he must call it and recieve an end of longest line penalty from the official. If no one calls it both cars go to the rear. In addition to this, any driver that breaks this rule 2 weeks in a row will be ask to serve a 1 race suspension the following week.

Self spins that do not bring out a caution or extend the caution flag will not count.

The League Admin has final judgement on any and all incidents and those decisions are final.

11. Pitting Rule
Its real important that we stay in the pitbox because it can really screw the guys around you. When a driver pits he needs to be sure he has at least 3 tires in pit box during pit stop. This infraction comes with a EOLL penalty. No Warnings, if your pit out of box you go to the rear on the restart.

12. Chatting
The rules governing chat will depend on what session the race is in. Practice of course is open chat. APSOLUTLY NO chatting at all during qualifying. Complete quiet untill session changes. During the race try to keep all green flag cumminications to race related subjects only...as in ...Pass High...Pitting this lap...ect. When caution comes out the only chat that should happen is the people involved calling their involvment and the admins. Chat during this time is very distracting to the admins making the decisions on the accident and disruptive to the smooth flow of the race. Once the admins finish the decision on the caution and calls it in public open chat may resume. 

13.Rookie System at Exile Racing
Any driver racing his first series at Exile Racing will be eligable for the series rookie award. Any driver joing at a series end can only run 3 races and still be eligable for the award the next series. This will be determined by putting a (r) by that persons name in the points system. There are no special points criteria for the rookies. Everyone competes within the same points system and the rookie on top at the end wins it. Rookie stripes are NOT required as we know just because its your first season with us doesnt mean its your first season of racing. We do ask if you are a new driver to sim racing or to the Arca08 sim that you do put rookie stripes on the rear for the benifit of your fellow driver.

14. Lucky Dog
The lucky dog will be handeled by the game. This works best and takes the responsibility off the race official.

15. Green/White/Checkerd
We will only have one attempt at a green white checkered so restart with care and race with respect if you want a good green finish. If the cautions comes out after we have made one attempt at a green white checkered then any driver will have the option to pit if he needs to but when the green flag flies the leader is to maintain pace speed for the remaining 2 laps. If any driver tries to gain a position or cause an accident during this time they will get a last place finish for the race.

16. Black Flag Rule
Only at tracks that have been tested and found to have black flag bugs will an official review and consider re leaving the black flag. These tracks will be posted in the race information with a special note located under the password. If you receive a black flag during one of these race that you suspect to be "bogus" just call out in the open race channel "BLACK FLAG #__" and the race official will review and decide whether or not the black flag was warranted. If he does not relieve it DO NOT protest. He will confirm that he reviewed it and his decision. All Race Official Decisions are final ! If you receive a black flag that you feel is "bogus" at a track that has NOT been marked as black flag bug track, serve it. Consider it a mechanical failure and deal with it. That's Racing.


17. Restarts
*ALL* cars must obey the pace speed set by the pace car and are not allowed to accelerate or decelerate before the green flag flies. All cars must maintain a distance of no more than 1 car length GAP to the car in front of them. There is NO PASSING until after you come out and turn 2 heading down the backstretch. There are no high line passes on the right unless the field slows in front of you or the driver in front of you is allowing you to pass due to mechanical difficulties. If someone passes you before this point please alert the race official so he can review and hand out a penalty.


18. Re starting a Race
During any race event, the practice, qualifying round and Warm-Up Session will never be restarted. Unless a problem occurs out of the race official control, where they would have to restart the server.

The Race Session will only be restarted ONCE at the race official's discression to ensure the entire field is on the track and ready to race.
The Race Session will NOT be restarted for cars that do not start or strip a gear before the green flag drops.
Once the green flag drops, the race will NOT be restarted.

Drivers who "fall through" (or lose their connection to the race server) right before the race session starts, will not have the server restarted for them.


19. Lapped Traffic
Because some of the races are fairly long, some members may be lapped by the leaders.
When the leader catches a driver who is still on the lead lap, but is in jeopardy of going 1 lap down, that driver is allowed to race the leader in a safe manner to stay on the lead lap, unless the lapped car is damaged and is considerably slower than the leader.

When the leader catches a driver who is already 1 or more laps down, the lapped car is required to move to the low side of the track and yield the high line to ALL cars on the lead lap. Lapped cars may also go to the low side on straightaways, or use the apron to give room to the lead lap cars.

Drivers one or more laps down must not block the lead lap cars. It is up to the passing car to make a clean safe pass. If a lapped car does block a lead lap car, then the lapped car will receive a black flag from the Admin.

In the event the lapped car cannot move for the leader due to traffic, the lapped member will be required to move to the high side as soon as safely possible.

A Lapped car does not have to move for lead lap cars, if the lap car is racing for position. Lead lap cars must not "make a hole" simply because they are faster. Lead lap cars are required to wait for the lapped cars to finish battling for their position. Once the lapped cars are lined up, then they are required to move to the low side for all lead lap cars.



20. Flaming
Flaming is absolutely not tolerated. A member who is flaming will be ejected at the race official's descresion. Period.
Flaming is defined as any racial slur, insult, abuse, swearing at or harassment of another driver or Admin. This also applies to “WTF”, “WTH”, and even “TY” when used in a negative way.


21. Unsportsmanlike conduct:
You are all here because you enjoy racing and the competition. While there is rubbing, banging, and accidents in auto racing, it is usually by accident or poor split second decisions made by the driver.

At no time is it acceptable for a driver to hit or take out another driver purposely, for any reason. If anyone thinks that that is just part of racing, you are in the wrong place.

As in any sanctioned series, we will not tolerate any unsportsmanlike conduct while in the car. If you are seen hitting or taking someone out and we (the track official) feel it was purposely done, any of the following penalties can and will be implemented.


You will be brought into the pits for a 1 to 5 lap penalty. The penalty will be decided by the track official, depending on their interpretation of the incident.


You will be dismissed from the race. The track official has the option of parking a driver from the rest of the race if they feel the incident was severe enough.


A second incident during the same race by the same driver will result in an automatic dismissal from the rest of the race. If you are dismissed for the rest of the race, you will be awarded no points for that race. In severe situations, you can also be banned from the league if necessary.
At no time will arguing, swearing, fighting, etc; be tolerated towards another driver or the officials in regards to penalties or decisions that were made during or after a race. If this occurs, one or more of the following may be imposed.


Automatic deductions of 50 points from the league point standings.


Suspension from the next race with no points awarded.


If the behavior continues, possible disqualification from the rest of the season with no
refund of league dues.


22. Warping
We all understand that warping is a part of online racing and that a driver, who is warping badly, really can't do anything to prevent the warp from happening.
However, the admins are tasked with providing the entire league with a relatively hazard free racing environment. Therefore, the following procedures will be followed when dealing with warp issues.

During the Practice Session:
If other members and/or the race Admin notice a car that is warping excessively, that member may be ask to skip the qualifying round and start in the back of the field, in order to ensure a clean start.

During the Race Session:

If other members and/or the race Admin notice a car that is warping excessively, the following situations will apply:

A.) If it is during a caution period, the member of the warping car may be ask to pass through the pits when the field is given the "1 lap to go" signal.
B.) If it is during green flag racing, the member of the warping car may be ask to reduce speed and proceed as safely as possible to the apron of the track, maintaining a safe speed along the apron until that car regains a stable connection.
C.) In extreme circumstances, the member of the warping car may be ask to park his/her car and sit out the rest of the race. This would only be done if the problem persists and after all other options are exhausted.
