We have borrowed some rules from the Clean Racers Club (hope that is ok)

Quote :

1. Incidents: If you hit another driver and gain a position advantage it is good sportsmanship to allow that driver to retake his position. We do not expect you to stop racing. Use your head, give some courtosy.

2. Defensive driving: Blocking is all part of a great race. You are allowed to block other drivers from passing you as long as:

(1) No deliberate contact is made

(2) the other driver is NOT beside you. If the driver is already beside you DO NOT force that driver off of the track.

3. Exiting pits: When exiting pits make sure that it is clear before you enter onto the racing line. Use of the track map and the look left & right keys/buttons is recommended. If cars are approaching, do NOT leave the pit lane unless you are fighting for position - Please do NOT cross the pit exit line when leaving the pits unless there is an obstruction that makes it impossible not to do so.

4. Re-entering track: If you go off the track in a race DO NOT reset the car or drive back onto the track. You could possibly ruin another race in progress. Again, you should use your map and look controls to see if anyone is coming. If you do re-enter the track safely but are too slow and drivers are getting closer behind you... drive off the racing line, or if necessary, pull off to the side of the track to give room.

5. Car Damage / Fuel: If your car gets severely damaged in an incident and you want to try and make it back to the pit lane, then, drive off the racing line to let faster cars past. If you run out of fuel get off the racing line as soon as possible or pit right away. We recommend that you turn your hazard lights on to let other players know you are a caution on the track (press 9 on your keyboard. 0 to turn them off).

6. Contact: Rubbing and tapping are all parts or everyday racing, so, this is allowed as long as it doesn't harm anyone's race or gain you an advantage. Due to occasional lag, small taps may cause a major crash, so be careful!

7. Race Rules: If you are being lapped by leaders please let them pass you, when it is safe do to so ( i.e. not in the middle of a chicane ), and as quickly as possible. You should be told by an on screen message if you are being lapped, the words “Blue Flag� will be displayed.

8. Pitting: Pitting can become dangerous if you do not pay attention. It is required that you drive in the 'pit lane' used to enter and exit the pits. Don't drive straight across every pit box, instead go to the furthest available pitbox. - This will allow more drivers to pit safely on the same lap(s)

9. Deliberate Corner Cutting: Deliberate Corner cutting is not liked. Please dont do it

10. You CAN chat under the races, and the quali if you want.

Hey there i am interested in the night...just im pathetic with time!!! What time will it be GMT? Thanx!!!

I think actually GMT and BST is the same.

BST is the new version of GMT I think. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?

You are wrong.

In the summer, BST is GMT+1.

After the clocks are changed again in autumn, the 2 times are the same.

ok, humm. Now I'm confused. lol.

Norway is 1 hour infront of England. When its 15:00 in England its 16:00 in Norway.

Would that be GMT+2 for Norway then?

(damn summer, I understood this before the winter ended :P)

Yes! In your example, GMT would be 14:00.

After the clock change, you (and almost the whole rest of Europe) will be GMT +1 again.

Ok, thanks for that explanation.

So just to be shure I have understood this correctly.

The race will be held at:
21:00 Norwegian time
20:00 BST
19:00 GMT

Is that right?

Ok, thanks allot :-)
