Why we're doing this:
TL;DR:
License Eligibility for Events:
Penalty Points & Promotion:

- The induction & promotion process has been a central feature of our community since day 1. By only passing drivers who exceed our minimum driving standards, we have built a reputation for providing clean & respectful racing for all.
- With the recent expansion of running regular events in different games, we want to maintain this reputation. However, running separate induction sessions for Project CARS, Assetto Corsa, or any other new additions is just not practical. It will also be unfair to ask applicants to purchase a new game just for induction, if we continue to assess applicants using Project CARS 2. The current model is no longer fit for purpose.
- A new approach is needed. One that will work for all platforms, but will still achieve the balancing act of providing accessibility & sportsmanship.
TL;DR:
- Applicant Status & traditional Induction sessions are gone.
- New members will be put on Probation status.
- Probationers will have access to a variety of our usual events across all platforms.
- During the probation period, any offences commited by a probationer will incur 2-3 times the number of penalty points of a full member.
- Each month the staff will review Probation members, and will promote to full member those who show the continued good conduct on and off track.
License Eligibility for Events:
- As before, Probationers can race at fun/sprint nights; community events (at organizer's choice); standalone/ranked events; and mini-leagues.
- Probationers are now no longer eligible to race in our larger and prestigious events (Official Championships, Endurance Races or Special Events). Be aware there may be exceptions to certain leagues or events, in certain circumstances.
- Only members invited by staff/ organizers can drive in official RSR teams in external events - anyone, however, can enter their own team with our support (resources, advice, practice sessions).
Penalty Points & Promotion:
- Drivers on Probation will be punished by the stewards more harshly for misdemeanours than full members. In cases where penalty points are assigned to a driver, those on Probation will receive 2-3 times than usual. For example, causing a collision and failing to return position could net you 6-9 points, which is well on your way to the maximum limit.
- Just like before, the staff will decide who will be promoted from probation to full membership. Driving standards are only 1 criteria considered by the staff in their judgements. Conduct on team speak & the forum are equally important.
- Also like before, full members are also subject to a demotion to Probation status, should they reach the penalty point limit or other exceptional circumstances.
