LeeOnTrack

• Race hard, but race fairly.
• Treat other drivers with respect both on and off the track.
• Deliberately hitting, blocking, wrecking or retaliating against another driver is not acceptable.
• Drivers must make reasonable efforts to avoid contact.
• If you make a mistake that causes another driver to lose a position, giving the position back is encouraged where it can be done safely.
• Remember: the race cannot be won on Lap 1, but it can certainly be lost there.

Extra care is expected at the start of every race.

• Give other cars racing room.
• Expect cars to be alongside you into the opening corners.
• Avoid desperate moves into Turn 1.
• Do not force another driver off the circuit.
• Cold tyres, heavy fuel and close racing mean braking distances may be longer than expected.

Lap 1 is about getting everyone into the race — not winning it at the first corner.

When cars are genuinely racing side-by-side:

• Both drivers should leave sufficient racing room.
• Do not squeeze another car off the track.
• Do not deliberately make contact to complete an overtake.
• Be aware of your spotter and surroundings.
• If another car has established meaningful overlap, respect that the car is there.

Clean side-by-side racing is what we want to see.

The overtaking driver is responsible for attempting a safe pass.

A driver should not:

• Launch from an unrealistic distance into a corner.
• Use another car to slow themselves down.
• Force another driver off the circuit because they have entered the corner too quickly.
• Make a move where contact is the only realistic way of completing the pass.

Being able to reach the inside of a corner does not automatically mean the move was safe.

Drivers are allowed to defend their position, but it must be fair and predictable.

• Do not weave repeatedly to stop another driver passing.
• Do not move under braking in reaction to the car behind.
• Once committed to a defensive line, be predictable.
• Leave racing room when another car is legitimately alongside.

Aggressive defending is allowed. Dangerous blocking is not.

When you are shown a blue flag because a faster car behind is lapping you, the LeeOnTrack League rule is that you should safely allow the lapping car to pass as soon as reasonably possible.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:

• Safely move off the normal racing line and allow the faster car through.
• Wait until the next suitable straight and allow the car to pass safely.
• Avoid sudden braking, unpredictable movements or changing direction at the last moment.

COMMUNICATE YOUR INTENTIONS:

• Whenever possible, please tell the faster driver what you intend to do. This can be done through Discord voice chat or iRacing race chat, for example by letting them know that you will move over or allow them through on the next straight.

SHARED RESPONSIBILITY:

• The responsibility is on both drivers to make the pass safely. The lapped driver should cooperate and the faster driver should remain patient until there is a safe opportunity.

THE AIM IS SIMPLE:

• BE PREDICTABLE
• COMMUNICATE
• LET THE FASTER CAR THROUGH SAFELY
• KEEP EVERYONE RACING

After each LeeOnTrack League race, we will hold an open driver chat to discuss any driving incidents, concerns or other issues that anyone would like to raise.

• This is not intended to be a blame session or an argument.
• The purpose is to help everyone improve their driving and make our league racing cleaner, fairer and more enjoyable.
• RESPECTFUL, CONSTRUCTIVE, FOCUSED ON IMPROVEMENT

DRIVERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO DISCUSS INCIDENTS CONSTRUCTIVELY.

Other drivers can offer advice about:

• What could have been done differently.
• Whether an incident could have been avoided.
• When it may have been better to attack, defend, yield or wait.
• Positioning, awareness and communication.
• How similar situations can be handled better in future races.

• Everyone should be able to give their point of view respectfully.
• We may also review race replays where this helps explain what happened.
• The LeeOnTrack League is about learning from each other as well as competing against each other. Mistakes will happen, but we want to use them as an opportunity to improve.

RACE HARD • RACE FAIR • LEARN TOGETHER

If you spin, crash or leave the circuit:

Do not immediately drive back onto the racing line.

Before rejoining:

• Check your relative/spotter.
• Wait for approaching traffic where necessary.
• Rejoin in a controlled and predictable manner.
• Do not reverse across the racing line.
• Do not perform a dangerous U-turn in front of approaching cars.

A bad rejoin can turn one driver’s mistake into a multi-car accident.

Safe rejoining takes priority over getting back into the race quickly.

When approaching an accident:

• Be prepared to slow down.
• Watch for cars stopped or rejoining.
• Do not blindly drive through an incident at full speed.
• Give yourself enough room to react.

Drivers involved in an incident should remain as predictable as possible.

When attempting an overtake:

• Make your intentions clear.
• Be under control when entering the braking zone.
• Leave room for the other driver where appropriate.
• Do not rely on contact to complete the move.
• Consider whether the move can realistically be completed safely.

Both drivers have a responsibility to avoid unnecessary contact.

Drivers must:

• Enter the pits safely and predictably.
• Avoid suddenly crossing the circuit to make pit entry.
• Respect the pit-lane speed limit.
• Stay within the pit exit procedure.
• Be aware of cars approaching at racing speed when leaving the pits.

Where possible, communicate your intention to pit if another driver is immediately behind you.

If your car is badly damaged:

• Stay off the racing line where reasonably possible.
• Do not attempt to race normally if the car cannot be controlled safely.
• Allow faster traffic to pass.
• Tow or return to the pits if continuing would create an unnecessary danger.

Friendly chat and banter are part of the league, but respect comes first.

• No personal abuse or bullying.
• Do not start arguments over voice chat during the race.
• Do not repeatedly shout at another driver following an incident.
• If there is a disagreement, finish the race first and discuss it afterwards.
• Admin decisions must be respected.

Race first. Discuss incidents afterwards.

There is zero tolerance for deliberate retaliation.

This includes:

• Intentionally wrecking another driver.
• Brake-checking another driver.
• Waiting for another driver in order to hit them.
• Deliberately pushing someone off the circuit.
• Using the car as retaliation for an earlier incident.

Serious or deliberate incidents may result in immediate removal from the event or league.

Where an incident is reported, league admins may review available replay footage.

Admin will consider:

• Driver positioning.
• Racing overlap.
• Braking points.
• Whether sufficient racing room was provided.
• Whether contact was avoidable.
• Whether either driver behaved recklessly.
• Whether the incident appears deliberate.

Drivers are expected to provide their side calmly and respectfully.

An accident does not automatically mean somebody must be punished.

Depending on the seriousness or frequency of an offence, league administration may use:

• Verbal/written warning.
• Position or points penalty.
• Post-race time penalty.
• Qualifying restriction.
• Start-from-the-back penalty.
• Drive-through or other race penalty where appropriate.
• Race suspension.
• Removal from the league for serious or repeated misconduct.

Repeated incidents may result in stronger penalties even where an individual incident would normally receive only a warning.

We want drivers of different abilities to feel welcome racing with us.

You don’t have to be the fastest driver.

You do have to race with respect.

Race hard. Race fair. Leave room. Have fun.
