Segment procedure

Once completed the allocated segment, leader must reduce speed in order to close the gap to other drivers. By the last corner before pit entry all drivers must be align in single file and, approaching pit entry, must be with speed limiter on until the end of pitstops rounds (including cars not taking the pits); during the following lap cars must keep slow speed until the last corner before start/finish straight, where they must be ordered in double file standard with pit limiter on, the leader choosing his/her/its preferred side and, from second row onwards, odd positions on the left side of the track. Restart zone takes place anywhere within the grid positions and will happen at the end of that lap.

Schedule

Driver Etiquettte :
- In case any driver gains advantage by cutting the track (“the race director has given you a warning, keep it between the White lines”) he must let the other driver through as soon as possible. If the driver does not let the other through in less than one lap, penalties can be applied by Race Stewards. To consider the position gave back the driver must stay completely behind the other car, to avoid Hamilton-like moves.
- If any driver feels any other driver failed to meet any etiquette rules, like cutting corners or crashing another car, he can make a formal complaint to Race Stewards, who will analyse replay files and proceed questioning drivers involved to decide if a penalty is necessary or not.

Cars Rule :
All drivers must use cars from the same class, the only differences permitted are car model (under that given class) and the paint_notBLOW_job.

Car N.22 Rule :
If you're driving car n.22, don't be surprised if you get any randomly applied penalty from FIA (Ferrari International Assistance).

Red Car Rule :
If you're driving a red, Maranello built car, you may avoid some penalties even if you do something wrong. As long as it's not a title match and you're not Felipe Massa, it's possible.

Felipe Massa Rule :
BTW, it's prohibited to be Felipe Massa. Unless you want to finish second. And Fernando is always faster than you.

MASSSSSSSSSSSTER Rule :
You may try to be MASSSSSSTER, but we all know you won't make it. You may end a few minutes behind, but at least you were inspired by the best. Ever.

Marshalls Rule :
Marshalls are hotter than Mesa/Boogie, but they should be avoided on track.

Wet Race Rule:
It may rain during races. If that happens, it's your problem.

Schumacher Rule :
We please ask you to avoid Schumacherist, Dick Dastardly moves. You may end up receiving a penalty or disqualification.

Flavio Briatore, Benetton and specially B194:
Banned for life. If you see any of them, SHOOT MISSILES!

KERS : (Kick em Regiões Sensíveis)
It's prohibited to used KERS (Kick in Sensitive Regions). Don't try it. And don't use it.

Menu 13, Hadouken, Blinding Headlights et al:
COMPLETELY FORBIDDEN, BASTARDS!

Lugano Rule:
If you spin the car, or crash, you may punch the steering like a little bitch. But you'll look gay doing it.

Smoke Rule:
If you push Smoke into the wall, you will be pushed into the wall, or punched in the face or have a helmet thrown at you.

Danica Rule:
Whenever you are crashed it was on purpose

Gustafson Rule:
One cannot employ Alan as Crew Chief

Steering Wheel:
Overkill steering wheels that duudes can't afford buying are outlawed, specially those from Logitech. (revoked)

Rubbin' Rule: No, no, he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you... he *rubbed* you. And rubbin, son, is racin'.

Ken Block Rule:
Ken Block is banned from driving FD04.OW cars. FD04 LMP vehicles. FD approved cars. Even better, Ken Block is permanently banned from FormulaDuude Championship. Forever. AND EVER!

Drive Through:
Just to recap, you must serve the mandatory drive through with your speed limiter on throughout the pitlane. If you fail to do so, you'll receive penalties ranging from 25sec added time to race bans. Drive through must be served after lap 3 and before the start of last lap of the race. (revoked)

Driving AIDS :
You may use auto-clutch and low ABS/TC settings.

"Sorry, Guys" Rule :
If you spin, you must say “sorry, guys” on the radio.
Always blame it on the car, or the other drivers, it’s never your fault.
Don't be the "Sorry, Guys".

Segment End Rule:
- Upon finishing the segment the leader must reduce speed in order to be caught by the remaining drivers; by the last corner before pit entry all drivers must be in a single file and with pit limiter on; Race will be resumed the following lap in 2-by-2 double dragon file with all cars driving with pit limiter on from the corner before restart zone until it's HAM-MER time.
