Rules of Engagement: 

We’re about fun ALWAYS trumping purity of competition. So, if you prefer a dominating win over lots side-by-side action where everyone leaves their fellow drivers enough room and everyone does their best to avoid ruining another driver’s race, our events might not be for you. With that in mind:

  • normal BGR standards apply (no brake-checks; no running someone out of track even if they are on the outside of the exit of the corner, or if you’re ahead; no moving in the braking zone; respect blue flags, etc.)
  • if you punt someone and its your fault, wait for them to recover and let them in front of you
  • must be on Discord with push to talk enabled
  • refrain from whining, ranting, debating, losing your cool, or generally being a downer on track or on discord
  • if you’re being lapped (blue flag): make it easy for the other car to pass you
