7-2 Requested Footage

7-2.1 As soon as the incident has been reported the lead steward will request footage from all drivers involved in reported footage, this is regardless whether the incident is clear or not.

7-2.3 Any driver who does not send in requested footage within the deadline time (24 hours) will receive 1pp on top of any incurring penalties from the incident.
7-2.4 Footage sent in after the deadline will be deemed inadmissible however may still be used as evidence in order to provide the stewards with a better chance to make more accurate decisions.

7-3 Steward Decisions

7-3.1 Following all footage being sent in stewards will review their opinions and come to a decision.
7-3.2 Drivers are expected to respect each stewards decision, it is inevitable that some decisions will go for you and some against you. If you feel any actions/decisions are wrong, you are expected to address the situation calmly and maturely.

7-6 License/Penalties Points System

7-6.1 We will be using a “Minor, Moderate, Major and Severe” penalty system which will be applied to all incidents that happen during the race. The penalty points system is a way of keeping track of a driver’s record of breaking the rules. Penalty points will be applied alongside normal race penalties.
7-6.2 When a driver is awarded a penalty, they will also receive license/penalty points.
7-6.3 The number of license points awarded for an incident depends on the category it falls under.
7-6.4 The 4 categories are:

• • Minor offence (No/small time loss, not dangerous) = 1 point per offence;
  • Moderate offence (Medium time loss, dangerous, dirty driving with no/small consequences) = 2 points per offence;
  • Major offence (Heavy time loss, highly dangerous, dirty driving with significant consequences) = 3 points per offence;
  • Severe offence (Heavy time loss, extremely dangerous, unsportsmanlike behaviour with or without consequences) = 4 points.

7-6.5 License points are reset every season.
