R12-4-4 SUPERSTOCK and STOCKCAR TEAMS RACING RULES
(a) Teams races begin with clutch starts only. The display of red
light or flags signifies the stopping of a race immediately even if
your race is run. Competitors must not pass other competitors,
nor move to any other position unless instructed by an official.
Competitors may freely proceed under green or orange lights or
flags.
(b) Placing one or more wheels inside the pole line is considered
breaking the rules of racing, repeated offences may attract a
penalty and/or a fine.
(c) A competitor forced infield must give way once pushed over the
pole line and return to the race once the track is clear.
Passing inside the pole line will attract either a fine and/or the
team may be excluded. The infield is not for racing, any
vehicles on the infield must disengage from contact and return
to the track in the same corner or straight from which they left
the track.
(d) Attacking another competitor from inside pole line will attract
either a fine or individual exclusion on the driver and/or the
team may be excluded.
(e) Any competitor deliberately driving infield (to avoid oncoming
cars) for a sanctuary (to gain advantage) will attract a fine on
the driver, or the driver may be excluded.
(f) Forcing competing cars into stationary cars will attract either a
fine, individual exclusion and/or the team may be excluded.
The situation of stationary cars is of the utmost importance.
Competitors who wish to be removed from their vehicle must
give the "thumbs down” signal, motionless drivers will obviously
bring the race to a red flag stop.
Drivers on the racing surface in a blocking role will be
considered to be part of the race and must realise that
deliberate contact may occur.
Attacking cars MUST avoid cars that are in a non attacking
position.
(Any inference that one can legitimately hit all stationary cars
has been removed from the rules.)
202
(g) Drivers must only drive in the correct direction. When the way is blocked by the wall or another vehicle one may reverse to clear
the obstruction.
Drivers must not travel in the wrong direction unless the way is
blocked by the wall or another vehicle.
When travelling in the wrong direction as just mentioned the
track must be clear of on-coming vehicles, deliberate contact
when travelling in the wrong direction will attract a fine, and/or
individual exclusion, and/or the Team may be excluded.
(h) Drivers may select reverse gear to move in the race direction
without penalty.
Drivers may select reverse gear to cross to the track surface
from the infield by the shortest route. When travelling onto the
track as just mentioned the track must be clear of on-coming
vehicles.
Drivers who reverse travelling in the wrong direction to
reposition on the track will attract a fine.
