NZ Superstocks Rules

 

NZ's are based around enjoyment, with very relaxed rules. That means anyone breaking them will be subject to harsh disciplinary as we simply do not need you - You have been warned!

 

• All racing is to be done in an anti-clockwise direction and on the dirt. No grass cutting or wall riding. No attacking off the infield or oppo.
• Starting grid is done from a standing start and is pregridded via batch file for each race. Drivers will stop where they are lined up and not move until instructed to. Drivers will then close up the gaps in the grid bumper to bumper. Once the steward/admin is happy, they will give the "anyone NOT ready" signal. Once happy shortly after that, the steward will call "GO" to start the race.
• All race starts are clutch starts.
• Drivers must drive in a forwards direction off the start on the call of go. No remaining stationary or reversing. This rule does not apply for team meetings.
• If your car is rolled at any point, you may continue once back on the track. If your car suck and causing warp/lag issues, you must exit the race.
• NEW RULE FOR 2019/2020!  You cannot come to a complete stop to wait for any driver
• NEW RULE FOR 2019/2020!  Blocking & Pinning is BANNED in all races apart from Team Meetings or the Survivor, however lap down hits are allowed
• A disciplinary points system will be in place, totalling 3 points will result in a one meeting ban. 5 points = 2 meet ban, 7 points = 3 meeting ban etc
• Messers (e.g. not turning up to a meeting) will work in the same way as disciplinary points
• Any complaints must be PM'd to Kane detailing the race, lap and name of the driver for the incident. Complaints must be made to us 24 hours after the meeting.

 

Start Procedure
Heats

• Heat grids are provided by the gridding system and will give drivers an even number of starting positions throughout the 5 heats.
• DRIVERS MUST BE IN SERVER 5 MINUTES BEFORE START TIME SO THE GRIDS CAN BE GENERATED. IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE SERVER FOR THIS, YOU WILL START AT THE BACK

Final

• Drivers will reverse up to the fence in turn 1 and the final grid will be called with drivers driving around to their start position when their number is called.
• The final starting grid is 2 cars wide, bumper to bumper with no gaps, lining up on the Start/Finish line. There must be no more than a cars width between the inside and outside grid. The pole sitter has control on where the grid lines up on the track but must leave at least one car width to their outside. This applies for the entire inside row.

Please remind yourself of the main racing rules before the first meeting!

• Blocking and Pinning is BANNED apart from Teams events or the Survivor
• You must NOT come to a complete standstill to wait for any driver

This does mean lap down attacks and slowing up are both ALLOWED.
