Rules
League rules
The VRCP rules apply to every series in the league. They have three parts: Discord rules, racing regulations and the penalty system with its penalty schedule. They apply to every league driver and every member of our Discord – ignorance of the rules does not exempt anyone from following them.

Key rules at a glance
This summary does not replace the rules. The full text is binding.
1. Respect on Discord
No offensive language, insults or spam. Keep conversations mainly about the league, races and technical matters. Issue with a driver? Open an incident report or resolve it privately.
2. The overtaking driver is responsible
The goal is to race without collisions. Responsibility for a safe overtake lies with the overtaking car. Give any car that is “sufficiently alongside” at least one car width.
3. One defensive line
No line changes in the braking zone. No blocking or zigzagging – choose a defensive line and stick to it. More than two moves on a straight may be considered zigzagging.
4. Track limits
Do not gain a lasting advantage off track. If you overtake with all four wheels outside the track boundaries, give the position back within one lap.
5. Yellow and blue flags
Under yellow flags, slow down – at least lift off the throttle. With a blue flag, do not defend: let the faster car through on the next available straight, within one lap at the latest.
6. Report incidents within 24 h
Record footage with the HUD on: the perpetrator’s view, the victim’s view and the helicopter view. Post it in the Discord channel within 24 hours of the race start. Late reports or reports missing these views are not considered.
7. Penalties and stewards’ decisions
Time penalties and penalty points are added to the results on SimGrid according to the penalty schedule. Decisions by stewards and administrators are final.
