Gaining Positions While Off Track

• Gaining a position or advantage against a competitor by leaving the track in any way is against rules, regardless of any in-game penalty that may be handed out as a result. Unless the offending driver returns the position or slows down to compensate the time gained, the offending driver can expect a penalty from Race Control.

• A driver suddenly changes their driving line to get out of the way when lapping cars appear in their mirror or when the blue flag appears.

• A driver brakes unreasonably early into a corner when another car is behind them or when the blue flag appears.

• Not accelerating at a normal race pace out of a corner. When in an acceleration zone, lifting off the throttle is equal to applying the brakes but without the benefit of brake lights as a warning. The following car has nowhere to go.
