Hi all :)
First off, we’re delighted with the improving standard of driving in the ACF1 league. We all find it tough, but now we’re getting more comfortable, there are fewer incidents to examine making everyone’s life better :)
The ACF1 league stewards would like to report a few recent clarifications and alterations to our rules.
Reprimands & Position Penalties
We have introduced a smaller 1 position penalty, to deal more fairly with small collisions or unfair overtakes. It also acts as a reduced penalty for drivers who do the right thing by giving the position back after a larger accident.
We’ve also renamed our official warnings to reprimands. Similar to the real sport, drivers who pick up 3 reprimands in a season will get a 1 position penalty. Every 3 further reprimands will attract an increased penalty.
In certain situations we may now give just a verbal warning for a first offence, for example where an unsafe move on track doesn’t hurt anyone, or for rage-quitting.
Corner Cutting
The track cutting detector app has been updated to v1.41 – we just added a bit more info to make life easier for the stewards. You’ll need to download the updated apps package for this weekend’s league race:
AC Compulsory Apps (v1.5, 325 downloads)For the avoidance of doubt, in Assetto Corsa we follow these thresholds for penalising track limits violations:
- 4 warnings: reprimand
- 8 warnings: 1 position penalty
- 12 warnings: 2 position penalty
- 16 or more warnings: a larger penalty or DSQ in severe cases.
Substantial corner cuts or illegal overtakes are treated more harshly. We also monitor corners where obvious cuts might not be detected by the app, and any nonsense warnings given where you spun off will be discarded.
Reporting Incidents
We’re really pleased with how many drivers have helped us out by reporting incidents they were involved in. The best way to do this is now by sending a private message to @YuckierDragon, the head steward.
Thanks to everyone for your support. Here’s to a fun league season!
