iRacing Rules

1 – General Rules

1.1 – The iRacing Sporting Code is generally considered to be in effect for all sanctioned Late Night Racing (LNR) events.

1.2 – LNR requires all drivers to use a steering wheel and pedal set for all sanctioned league events.

1.3 – LNR league passwords are considered confidential and should only be distributed by approved league administrators.

1.4 – Any modification to the game or game files that gives the user an advantage over other competitors is prohibited.

1.5 – Drivers are responsible for their own Internet connections. Should you be notified that you are warping, you should move to an open space on the track, the rear of the field, or pit until the situation passes. If you are disconnected from the race server during racing conditions, you are allowed one attempt at reconnection.

1.6 – Drivers should be able to communicate via the iRacing in-game voice chat for real-time voice communications between drivers during sanctioned league events.

2 – Racing Rules

2.1 – There are rules inherent to racing that are built into the iRacing game software. Penalties assessed by the game under race conditions, unless otherwise noted, are considered official under LNR rules and will not be cleared.

2.2 – Retaliatory action is prohibited.

2.3 – The pole sitter or first place driver on the restart is responsible for bringing the field to the green flag and restarting the race.

2.4 – The first car one or more laps down who is not involved in a caution when it flies will be given a wave around, except within the final 10 laps of a race.

2.5 – Drivers should communicate their intent to pit to nearby cars to avoid incidents. They should also be aware of their surroundings while merging onto the track after pitting.

2.6 – Lapped cars should give way to lead lap cars unless racing for position with another driver (defined as within a few car lengths) or racing with the leader to keep from going the first lap down.

3 – Post Race Procedures

3.1 – Wrecking after the checkered flag is prohibited. The winner is allowed a celebratory burnout, but all other drivers should safely park their cars and exit the race track.

3.2 – LNR partially relies on a peer initiated review system for rule violations. You have up to 24 hours following the completion of the race to lodge an official protest. Email the series director a 3-lap segment (the lap before, the lap of, and the lap after the incident), along with the necessary information to determine the offense and the offender.

3.3 – Any violations reported to or observed by the LNR Competition Committee will be reviewed. Penalties or rulings may not be made public at the discretion of league administration.

3.4 – The Competition Committee reserves the right to follow a different format at their discretion, however, this is the template that will handle the majority of infraction cases.

First offense: Warning/Probation
Second offense: Suspension
Third offense: Indefinite Suspension

These rules are considered official and are subject to change without notice.
