The ERL League is asking that when you join, you are committed to run all the races in a series you sign up for. We want you to be a full time driver. It is highly suggested that all drivers use the green race line that is in the game options. We are currently running the full Winston Cup Series on Sunday nights @ 9:00 pm est. All of these races are scored identically with full WC points awarded as per the final race results. If your name appears on the results you will be awarded those points. In the case of a disqualification or DQ, you will receive whatever N2003 scores you. If you feel you were unjustly disqualified you must prove it. You must supply a replay clip along with an explanation and send it to the Admin@eliteracers.com . Don't send in a complaint without the replay clip. Miss more than 5 events, you may be removed from the League!
 

Double file starts and restarts for all races, including our "Practice Sessions". The pole sitter will always be the first car to hit the start-finish line. You are to stay behind the car directly in front of you until you cross the S/F line. You do not attempt to change lanes until crossing the S/F line. This may vary if you are signaled to make a pass from a slower driver!

You are to stay behind the car directly in front of you until you cross the S/F line. You do not attempt to change lanes until crossing the S/F line. It is every drivers responsibility to keep up with the driver directly in front of him on all starts and restarts. This is extremely crucial on the start of each race. You must try and keep .3 seconds between each car for even starts and restarts. Pole sitter or lead car may gradually increase speed coming down to take the GREEN FLAG. This is to be used to prevent pileup's further back in the field. These starts will be monitored closely.

If you feel you were given a "Bogus" Black Flag, you may ask for it to be cleared. The Admin will clear it for you ASAP, but, it will be reviewed to determine if, in fact, it was a bogus black flag. If it is determined it was a legitimate black flag, you will be penalized with no points for that event. There are very few "Bogus" black flags. I would strongly recommend that you serve the BF and grit your teeth!

Lead lap cars do not race back to the yellow. You are to hold your position and keep your speed up to about 75% until everyone takes the yellow. Once you reach the SF line, do not brake immediately. Keep your speed up until you reach turn one! You should all be lined up by the time you come around to the pit entrance. If you are braking and cause a wreck during a yellow, you will be penalized. If you are a lap down and near the leader,  the leader can not give the lap back. The only time lead lap cars can race back to the yellow, is when there are 10 laps or less left in the race!! Even if you are near the leader and not on the lead lap and the caution comes out, the field locks. You will get that lap back under the "Lucky Dog" rule.

N2003 will automatically penalize you for wrong pit entrance or exit. Everyone needs to use their autochat keys for entering and exiting pit lane. Please put your "Pitting" sign up early!! You are not permitted to pass on pit row!

When there are 10 laps or less left in the race, and the yellow comes out, lap down cars must drive thru the pit lane EVERY LAP that the pits are open to them. You do not need actually stop in your pitbox unless you want to.  From this point, you may race back to the SF line!

There will be AUTO-CHAT only during GREEN FLAG racing. Chatting will be held to a minimum during yellows. On the last lap before green flag goes, (stage lights and pace car lights are out) please hold down chat and prepare for green flag racing. Any Extreme Flaming or out of line chat to any driver will result in a swift response from the race admins, including,but not limited to, being kicked from the server and\or removal from the League.

This will not be tolerated. Use your F2 (enter) key for the driver position behind you. Blocking is when you are off the preferred line preventing a driver from making a pass for more than 4 full laps! You are allowed to protect your position safely when there are 10 laps left.

If you get damaged and do not want to complete the race, you MUST either wait for the tow or drive to your pit and exit from there. If you exit the server from the track and not your pit stall, you will be penalized with a race suspension and loss of points if someone is black flagged due to your hasty exit.

 Racing etiquette at Talladega and Daytona is as follows: Hold your line and lane if another driver is under you. The line on the back stretch is up against the wall unless you are passing the car in front of you or you are in a line of 2 wide racing. Running in the middle of the back stretch is considered blocking and it also creates a dangerous situation. Protecting your position with 10 or less laps to go will be tolerated if done safely.

If half the field gets booted before the half way mark.

If excessive warping jeopardizes the entire race outcome.

If the race is RED FLAGGED, just leave race. If there is time that night to rerun, we will. If not, a new date will be set. Watch your email  in the case there is time to restart.

If there is some mix up or some drivers get damaged due to a mix up before the green flag drops! With our Practice Sessions, there will be a maximum of 2 re-starts to help with the impatient drivers or mix ups on the starts. Please be ready to race when we enter the Race Mode!

These exceptions will be the call of the Admins.

Repeated over aggressive driving and/or rule infraction's).

Creating accidents after repeatedly being told that you show considerable warp.

Official complaints can be emailed to: Admin@eliteracers.com

Official race complaints will be accompanied with at least one small replay clip showing the incident, lap of the incident, the race name, and the attached replay clip in email. All official complaints will be turned in within 48 hours after the race. Official complaints will be reviewed by the Race Stewards. Involved Race Stewards will not take part in the review process.

1st offense = 50 point deduction.
2nd offense = 100 point deduction. .
3rd offense = You'r outta here!

Exceptions  =  There are no Exceptions. You have been invited into this League because you have demonstrated that you are an experienced online Driver. If a penalty has been issued to you, you deserve it.

The only Provisional that will be issued will be as follows:
Each Driver will have 5 Provisionals. These points will be equal to the last place minus 1 in that race. After the 5th Prov. given, you will be issued no more and possibly removed for lack of commitment.

If we have 3 yellows come out before we run 20 laps, the server will be restarted and the race will be run without yellows. Each driver that causes a yellow during the first 20 laps, causing the race to be restarted, must take a provisional start during the following re-qualifying session. Any driver that causes two yellows must park their car for the night, this includes any yellows caused before the reset of the server for the 20 lap rule.

If your connection (latency reading) is more than the 200 during the warm up session, you will have to leave the race. This is for the good of all drivers. You can check your own latency reading in the entry screen as it will be monitored just before race time!
