Rules and Regulations

We follow all league rules as specified in the General Competition Rules at CMS, as well as the iRacing Sporting Code. All members are expected to understand and follow these rules at all times.

  • Everyone must be aware of the Orange Zone (OZ) for each race, as published in the drivers’ briefing. Serious incidents that occur in the OZ will be reviewed, and the stewards will impose higher penalties for any driver found to be at fault for an incident in the OZ.
  • If the stewards give you a penalty (in between races), it is up to you to serve that penalty within the first three laps of your next race, without stopping in your stall for any reason. You will not receive a black flag in game.
  • To be considered within track limits (per the GCR) you must have at least one tire on the white line. However, iRacing defines additional areas around some corners as being within track limits. As long as you are within iRacing’s track limits, you will be considered to be on the racing surface if an IRR is submitted.

Should you be involved in an incident on track, we encourage you to talk to the other driver first. If you wish to escalate it to be reviewed by the stewards, even if it is an OZ incident, you can fill out an Incident Review Request (IRR). All IRRs must be submitted between 12 and 60 hours after the race. You must join the Race Review Committee (RRC) Discord to submit an IRR.

Series Administrators

Your iRacing Wednesday night administrators are:

  • David Anderson – Team lead
  • Warren McGrary – Co Admin
  • Kevin Ayers – Co Admin
  • Ryan Thompson – Lead Steward

Please don’t hesitate to contact us via DM if you have any questions or concerns.

Note that—by design—we have no say over penalties or other stewards’ decisions. If you have a question about a steward (IRR) ruling, please visit the CMS RRC Discord and click the #irr-follow-up channel, or contact the Chief Steward (Ryan Thompson). Please do not discuss incidents in public channels.

This series has been created for one purpose only: fierce, friendly competition on the track with like-minded racers, providing a place for everyone to race and have a great time doing so. We are all friends, here.

While we have rules in place, we also don’t intend to add complication or pressure to perform on race night. We all started sim-racing from scratch, and regardless of your experience we want everyone to feel welcome here. So please, come in and make some friends and we’ll see you on the track!
