Above all - HAVE FUN!

The ultimate purpose of this division is to enhance the enjoyment of NR2003 for those of us who race it. The CTRL BOLTCUP Division is for advanced drivers in NR2003 sim racing. CTRL BOLTCUP follows a modified NASCAR Cup schedule. For the most part, BOLTCUP follows the Nascar CUP schedule, using the best NR2003 track version of that weeks race.

Admission to the BOLTCUP is NOT limited by experience, but is designed to be a division of advanced drivers. The competition is fierce in the BOLTCUP, and if you were not referred to this division by the YOUNGUNZ Directer, you will be evaluated prior to joining a BOLTCUP race. We are an open league. Anyone interested in joining the BOLTCUP division must read the rules and submit an application via the league's web site. Generally, new drivers will be placed on a two race probation period. The BOLTCUP Directer reserves the right to make exceptions to this 2 race requirement. Driver candidates will be evaluated by the current series drivers. All new drivers are on a probation basis for their first 2 races. They can be removed from the league without warning during this period.

All new members in BOLTCUP are required to register in the forum and to review forum on a regular basis. Division announcements will be made in the forum. If you want to know what is going on, check the boards.

If you join after the season has begun you will be given provisional points for any races missed. Any driver who misses 3 consecutive races without contacting the race director are subject to removal from the league. There will be no warnings. In most cases, drivers will not be allowed to rejoin once removed. If you are permitted to rejoin, you will forfeit all previous points and be given points as if you were joining in mid-season..Provisional requests have to be posted in the CTR forum under the topic of "Provisional Requests"

There will only be one (1) restart. After three (3) laps it is counted as a race. Unless under extenuating circumstances such as the server crashing or the field gets wiped out in five (5) laps.

The 3 self-spin rule will be in effect. Driver's are expected to park their car without being asked to do so once they reach the limit. Those who don't are subject to a point penalty

NO RACING TO THE YELLOW UNLESS 10 OR LESS LAPS REMAIN. After a yellow is thrown, all cars (including lapped cars) must maintain race speed to the line. After taking the yellow drivers must attempt to get into pace lap position as quickly and safely as possible. After taking the yellow flag, the lapped car which is highest in the current race standings will be given one lap back. Regardless of how many laps down, the Lucky Dawg Award driver will be required to do the following:

1

A complete pit stop their time by

2

Re-enter the track early and pick up an End of Longest Line Penalty (EOLL)

3

If EOLL penalty is not given, drop to rear of field after restarting

4

After taking green, lap will be given back by admin

Passing IS allowed on restarts. All drivers must maintain a .3-.5 second gap between cars during yellow flags and restarts.

Cars that are significantly off the pace are expected to go LOW to allow others to pass without incurring a penalty. Lapped cars are to do a pit drive through with 10 or less laps remaining so that they will line up at the back of the line.

You are responsible for your own internet connection. CTRL pays for quality race servers, which any driver can connect to with fine results. Drivers who are experiencing consistent connection problems during the event will be asked to drop to the back of the field or retire. In case of Server Crash the race will be rerun/rescheduled. We try to be as fair as possible but, warping is a part in online racing. Laps can be given back by the Division Director as they see fit due to warp. This will only be done one time. If it occurs more than once, it will be up to the driver to make up the laps.

The division director has the discretion to remove black flags or lap penalties. They also have the discretion to issue black flags and give lap penalties. This will only be done if the circumstance can be verified. Do not repeat requests for laps back or a penalty be waived, unless your complaint is legitimate. Remember that in most cases, the Division Director is also driving, and request will be waived before you are ejected.

Absolutely no flaming! This is just a game and people do make mistakes. If you feel it was on purpose, take it up with the Division Director/Race Commission in private. Use of profanity, in any form, towards another driver will be considered flaming. Even if it is question directed to another driver.

1st Offense Warning

2nd Offense 50 point deduction/probation

3rd Offense Race Ejection/Race Suspension

4th Offense Removal from CTR

Blocking is permitted but it is expected to be done at appropriate times during the race (i.e with 10 or less laps to go). If you are holding up a faster car and you are "nudged" out of the way, do not expect the driver to be reprimanded by the admin. Lapped cars are expected to safely get out of the way of the leaders as they approach.

Rough or careless driving will be noted and reviewed. Warnings, point penalties, suspension, or removal from league are possible reprimands.

BOLTCUP does it just like Nascar with 10 races left those who qualify for the chase will be notified on the CTRL forum. The number of drivers who make the chase will be limited by the Division Directer.
