The Car = FXR with 32% air restriction.
Entered Drivers = As per the published list of drivers confirmed as entrants available at the iTCC website.
Reserve Drivers = Drivers not confirmed as entered drivers, who have been admitted to the Reserve List.
1. RACE FORMAT FOR THE iTCC
1.1 Championship Format:-
There are two championships within the iTCC - the Driver's Championship and the Team Championship.
Drivers score points for the Driver's Championship by finishing in point-scoring positions at each of the races in which they compete. The cumulative total of the points they have scored in all races that season is their championship points.
Teams of a maximum of 2 drivers can enter the Team Championship. If there are more than 2 drivers from a particular team entered in the Championship, then they may still compete in the Team Championship as part of a second team - e.g. iCON #2, CoRe #2, etc.
The drivers of that team add their individual points together to score point for the Team Championship.
Track Order = As per the published calendar available at the iTCC website.
1.2 Event Format (Irrespective of Track):-
* Reserve Shooutout - 15 minutes
* Qualifying - 15 minutes
* Race 1 - approx 25 mins (grid as per qualifying)
* Break - 5 minutes
* Race 2 - approx 25 mins (grid as per Race 1 result)
* Break - 5 minutes
* Race 3 - approx 25 mins (Grid - Top 6,7,8,9, or 10 from Race 2 reversed depending on number drawn by lottery – thereafter as per finishing order of Race 2)
* Debrief and preliminary results.
** There will be a “lag lap” at the start of the first race (lag lap = start to 1st sector)
2. EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR DURING EVENT
Infractions of the rules below and in Rules 2.3.x will be penalised in one of two ways:-
* During the race by way of a drive-through, stop-go or disqualification.
* After the race by way of the Penalty System (Rule 2.1)
The race stewards decision is final.
2.1 Penalty System
Behaviour deemed by admins to display a lack of awareness of other cars/track conditions will receive a warning.
Drivers who receive a warning for their behaviour will be expected to take heed of the warning - if they behave in the same manner a second time they will be deemed to be displaying unsporting behaviour and be penalied as such.
Chatting before the race is declared over by Race Control - -1 point per entry
Unsporting behaviour - -5 points
Failure to follow league procedures = -5 points
Causing an avoidable accident = -5 points
Deliberate blocking during qualifying = -5 points
Failure to drive to pits at the end of race = -5 points
Failure to notify admin of an accident from which you cannot continue = -5 points
Deliberate Wrecking = League Ban
2.2 Driver Obligations
Driver Names
Driver names should be of the format - 00 J.Bloggs, i.e. the number follwed by the initial of the forename,then the surname.
Entered Drivers must be present on the Race Server 15 minutes before the Reserve Shootout is due to commence. This is so Reserve Drivers are given the greatest possible chance of competing in the Championship should an Entered Driver fail to turn up for the race.
Drivers will be also expected to obey the basic rules applicable on all ICON league servers (see Rule 2.3). In addition the following instructions are to be observed and complied with:
2.2.1 Event Procedure:-
Reserve Shootout
The Reserve Shootout gives drivers on the Reserve List a chance to compete in the iTCC. At each event a certain number of reserve places will be available.
At the first round of every season, some reserve places are available. All reserve drivers are to complete flying laps in the 15-minute 'Reserve Shootout' session. The fastest of these reserve drivers will then take the remaining places not taken by the top 15 point-scoring drivers from the season before and compete in the iTCC. (Note: for Season 1, the reserve take up the places not took by Pre-Season drivers)
At the second and subsequent rounds, ONLY the top 15 drivers in the Driver's Championship are 'locked in'. All other competitors, both entered and reserve, must complete flying laps in the 'Reserve Shootout'. The top 15 competitors in the Reserve Shootout will then take the remaining places on the server and compete in the iTCC.
This system is designed to ensure that all drivers have competition - those at the front AND those at the back, whilst also allowing new drivers to compete with established drivers.
ONLY the drivers on the Reserve List are allowed on track during the Reserve Shootout.
Any Entered Drivers joining the track will be deemed to have failed to follow league procedures. (-5 points)
Qualifying / Break
You are free to join and leave the session at any time.
You must spectate as soon as race control announces the end of session.
Race 1 / 2 / 3
You should join the grid ONLY when instructed to by Race control.
If you have an accident from which you are unable to continue (e.g. if you end up on your roof) you must notify the ADMIN at the earliset opportunity. Do NOT Telepit ot Telespectate.
At the end of the race you must drive back to the pits and then spectate.
Debrief and preliminary results
No procedure required
Red Flag Coniditions
The red flag will be shown (or will be assumed to have been shown) if the Race Server crashes or if there are a large number of disconnections. This will be called by the Race Director.
Yellow Flag Conditions
The yellow flag will be shown if there is an incident on-track from which the affected driver/drivers cannot self-recover back to the track or pits, for example a car rolled onto it's roof.
Drivers should NOT telepit or telespectate, instead they should signal the Race Director who will then show the Yellow Flag, and deploy the Safety Car.
The Safety Car will circulate around the track, and the driver in the lead of the race when the Yellow Flag was shown will take up his position behind the Safety Car. All other drivers will take up their positions (in the order they were in when the yellow flag was shown) behind the leader.
Any cars ahead of the Safety Car when the Yellow Flag was shown may circulate around the track to take up their race positions.
No overtaking is allowed.
The driver(s) affected by the incident will then be told by the Race Director to telepit/telespectate. The affected driver(s) will play no further part in that race.
Whilst under yellow, the field will be led by the Safety Car, who will be instructed to maintain a suitable pace. The field will be then given the
instruction 'SAFETY CAR COMING IN THIS LAP' by the Race Director. Before the final turn onto the straight, the Safety Car will accelerate away and drive into the pitlane. The lead car is to lead the field at an even pace onto the start/finish straight. When the Race Director is satisified that the field is lined up for the restart in a fair manner, he will give the green flag signal. It is at the discretion of the driver of the lead car when he chooses to accelerate to take the restart. Once he has started accelerating, he must not brake or lift off the throttle. No overtaking is allowed before the start/finish line. Drivers must not: jump the start, lag back and subsequently gain a significant speed advantage on a restart, or begin an overtaking manoeuvre before the green flag is shown.
2.3 General Server Rules
‘Race Hard, but Race Fair’
We all want a good race, so that means think about your fellow racers. Overtake cleanly, give your fellow racer space on the track, and generally conduct yourself to the highest standards. Here are a few pointers:-
2.3.1 Overtaking
Overtaking must be done cleanly, with nil or minimal contact. Leave the ‘dodgem-style’ of driving in the fairground where it belongs. It does not belong on the track or on an ICON server.
2.3.2 Being Overtook
‘Brake testing’ and deliberate weaving in front of an overtaking car is seen as unsporting and will jeopardise your championship position. This does not mean you can’t defend your position fairly and cleanly, however.
2.3.3 Rejoining the race
Take care when rejoining the race, either after an incident or when rejoining from the pit-lane. There will be other drivers on track travelling much faster and wrecking their race as you rejoin by not paying attention to their position will be seen as causing an avoidable accident.
2.3.4 Conduct
No insults, No swearing. No arguing. We don’t expect to have to revisit this rule ever. So be warned.
2.3.5 Be Fair
Don’t take people out of the race. If you hit someone, let them pass before rejoining the race. Apologise at the end of the race.
2.3.6 Observe the Rules of the Track
Let lapping cars by when you are blue-flagged. Slow-down and don’t overtake when yellow-flagged. Observe penalties such as drive-throughs and stop-go penalties.
2.4 Protests
All protest should be submitted to the iTCC Admins via the relevant forum thread in this forum.

3. POINTS SYSTEM & SUCCESS BALLAST
Points System
Race 1 / 2 /3
1st = 12
2nd = 10
3rd = 8
4th = 7
5th = 6
6th = 5
7th = 4
8th = 3
9th = 2
10th = 1
Fastest lap of the race = 1 bonus point.
Pole position = 1 bonus point
Success Ballast
The imposition of success ballast is based on 2 criteria: championship points and race results.
a) according to the Championship points: 1 kg per every 3 points scored
b) according to the sum of points obtained in the three races of the last event, according to the following scale:
1st = 30 kg
2nd = 25 kg
3rd = 20 kg
4th = 15 kg
5th = 10 kg
6th = 5 kg
These ballasts will be scrapped and recalculated after each championship round.
Handicap weights a) and b) are cumulative up to a maximum of 70 kg
At the first round of the championship, nobody carries ballast (Because no-one has won a race or has any points)
At the second and each subsequent round of the championship, any driver entering the championship for the first time that season will have a 'new-entrant' ballast of 30 Kgs for that round. (The WTCC 2008 ballast rules had the same clause)
Entered Drivers = As per the published list of drivers confirmed as entrants available at the iTCC website.
