Race Control:
– Race control is present in all races unless communicated otherwise.
– Cautions are initiated from the tower. If race control cannot be present, cautions will be controlled by iRacing.
Paint schemes:
– The league disables decals and numbers so custom car # paint schemes are allowed.
– Drivers are expected to run a paint scheme consistent with their assigned car #. If you do not like your assigned car # you can request to change it.
– Those with Trading Paints Pro are allowed to use a one or two digit # even if their assigned car # is three digits. For example “010” can be assigned to a driver, but they could use a “10” custom car # paint scheme. This allows for multiple drivers to use the same one or two digit #. If you do not have Trading Paints Pro it is recommended you chose a vacant one or two digit car #.
– Legends & Champions can select or change their car # to a # currently being used by any Winner, Driver or Rookie. Winners can select or change their car # to any # currently being used by any Driver or Rookie.
