Paint

Drivers must include their driver number on both sides and the top of the hood (bonnet). The preferred locations are on the passengers above the front windshield and on the C pillar on each side. Numbers should be either yellow or black.  A GSR logo (available from BCKracer71) should also be placed on the car. Other than this the paint for this series is open to be as simple/complicated as the driver wishes. However, realistic paints are encouraged but are not mandatory.  Offensive/graphic images will not be permitted on a paint.

For those wishing to make accurate paint schemes, decal placement guidelines can be found here: https://d3spxwpngnho1k.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/V8SC2016-Motorsport-OpsManualDivD-V1.pdf (Section D23)

Reporting Of Race Incidents

Reporting Of Race Incidents – All incidents must be reported directly after the race and not during the race. Race incidents will not be discussed during the race and all replays must be saved by the driver making the complaint because if there is a lag which caused the incident then it will not be visible by somebody else’s replay.

The replay/replays will be reviewed by the administrators and a decision will be made as to whether or not anyone is to blame and if a penalty should be given to any or both drivers.
