Sporting code updated, now findable and downloadable from http://newdimensionracing.com/index.php/ndr-sportingcode

This version adds a new section dealing with oval racing, in preparation for the 2010 Kyoto 250 and future. Also added some things about server rentals/sharing.

A rather major rehash of the Sporting Code. It's been trimmed a bit, reorganized, and has some hew parts. Link in OP.

You'll find most is the same in a way, just cleaned up. The sporting code has added to it now:

• Button Clutch is prohibited.
  
• Penalty types and descriptions are now in this document, and will be removed from all individual series rulebooks.
  
• A minimum speed has been implemented - you must be able to maintain that in race with your damage or you will be meatball flagged
  

Please feel free to post here with any questions you have. I've unlocked this thread for now to facilitate that.

Sporting Code Amendments Effective 15-November-2010:

CHANGE (in blue) VII.1: 1.The administration reserve the right to issue penalties as deemed fit for violations of rules. Penalties issued in-race must be served prior to completion of the 4th pass of Safety Car Line 1. No penalty may be served under Safety Car Conditions. The time to serve a penalty will be reset if a Safety Car Period intervenes. A driver who fails to serve a penalty within the limit may be escalated to the next penalty level.

ADD: XIV. 4: A car with severe damage, or stopped on course due to lack of fuel, may receive assistance from either a course/rescue car, or a competing car. There is to be no outside assistance rendered at all on the final lap of the race - a car must finish the race under its own ability. A car that receives outside assistance on the final lap and finishes the lap, will not be credited with completion of that lap.

Sporting Code Update:

Minor changes :P

NDR Sporting Code

Updated TS info in II.2.c.4

Added a section detailing handling of LFS updates

The New Dimension Racing Sporting Code has undergone an overhaul. It now contains many of the common policies and procedures over all NDR leagues, making it longer but the savings should be great in the redundancy that was inherent in the old series rulebooks. As usual, memorization is not required, but a general and working familiarity is strongly encouraged with the majority of elements contained within. Most of what is contained with in should be common sense and/or common courtesy.

Click here to view the February 2012 Sporting Code revision.

A small update to the NDR Sporting Code today:

Changed Grid Penalty and Pitlane Start penalties to follow the team in team-based events, such as GT1 and GT2 World Series. The rule was previously worded to have followed the driver, which is impossible and unfair to enforce as there is no guarantee prior to a race that the penalized driver will race. The penalty conversion in the event of an inability to serve it remains.

ADDED a rule about when a relief driver can join the track in the event of a lost connection. A driver must wait until the driver they are relieving has actually dropped connection before joining the track.

September 2013 Version of the New Dimension Racing Sporting Code is now available. Link in OP. It will become effective at 0:00 UTC on 30 September 2013.

EDIT II.2.2: Amends rule to deal with entrants who confirm attendance but do not show up to the event; establishes penalty for infracting

REMOVE II.3.b: "The decision to abandon may be made after an attempt to reschedule has failed, if cars remaining in an event drops to below 15% of available grid size." - Rendered redundant.
EDIT II.5.1: Establishes a minimum of Stop-Go Penalty for failure to comply with administrative order to change driving view.
EDIT II.8: Change section to encompass software-specific allowances as well as software versions. Added iRacing, rFactor, and rFactor 2
ADD IV.2.4: Adds Statute of Limitations to protest processing and submission.
EDIT VII: Cleaned up definitions, separated race classification from other session types.
EDIT VIII.7: Removed specific message, changed to a generic safety car returning to pitlane notice
EDIT VIII.7.3: Changed from "The green flag does not fly" to "The green flag signal is not given"
EDIT IX.1: Changed "unsafe" to "unsuitable"
EDIT XIII.2.f: A driver now has a maximum of two laps to respond to a meatball flag.
