Rules & Regulations

General Rules & Driving Etiquette

Motor racing as defined by TORA, is a non contact sport. It is understandable that on occasion some contact may occur that is not expected by either party, for example due to lag. Competitors with 'lag' issues will not be penalized, but may be asked to improve their connection, if the issue is persistently hindering other's experiences please see connection section.

TORA expects competitors who partake in its championships and meetings to behave in an appropriate and respectable manner. Insulting comments or behavior towards fellow competitors and race stewards is unacceptable and will be dealt with severely. Also respectable on-track etiquette is expected of all competitors, including on-track battles, track limits etc.

DRIVER CHAMPIONSHIP

This will be a championship fought by each driver for themselves. The total amount of points at the end of the series will be their final points total and will result in their position in the overall drivers standings at the end of the series.

TEAMS CHAMPIONSHIP

Teams will consist of a minimum of 2 drivers and a maximum of 3. All of whom must be using the same car and in the same identical liveries. Throughout the entirety of this championship, the top two scoring drivers from each team will count towards their teams points total from each race meeting.
This is a combined table so the GT86 & MR2 classes can fight for top honours in this series.

PRIVATEERS CHAMPIONSHIP

To compete for the privateers championship, drivers should only race for themselves and not be part of the team. The total amount of points at the end of the series will be their final points total and will result in their position in the privateer drivers standing at the end of the series.

CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP

Because this championship will be a multi-class series, drivers and teams points will be awarded accordingly to the respected class that each driver/team wishes to participate in.
