Fairplay racing
From TurboSlidersWiki
Play Fair Follow the Rules. Racing in a "Fairplay" Server means you should respect the other drivers that you are playing with.
Racing Behavior at the Start of a race
- DO NOT start driving backwards - DO NOT brake in order to block the car behind you and get extra speed - If your start-speed is lower than the car behind you, keep your starting line and don't "close the door" to the car behind you - DO NOT zigzag in order to get more speed (by getting pushed by other cars)
Racing Behavior - at the 1st Curve
- Keep your line (if you are on the outside, stay outside! DO NOT "close the door" if a car is inside - if you are inside, consider that you've to drive the whole curve inside because you have a car outside) - DO NOT push other cars - Try to avoid contacts with other cars if possible
Racing Behavior - Overtaking attempts
- If the car behind you is trying to attack you inside/outside, take the opposite line: DO NOT "close the door" in the middle of the curve -> if you want to protect yourself inside, for example, just take the inside line in the straight before the curve (F1 style) - Try to avoid contacts while being overtaken/overtaking A clean overtake is much better than a rough one! - Always remember that if you take the inside/outside line, you can't change to outside/inside in the middle of the curve: leave some space to your opponent if you are very close - DO NOT try to get more speed by zigzagging in curves/straights - DO NOT change your line from outside to inside (and vice-versa) if that means a contact which gives you more speed. That's considered blocking.
Racing Behavior - Crashes
- If you crash/get a slowdown due to your own mistake/lag, and some other player is penalized by that (e.g. he crashes into you), you should consider to let him pass. This is not required anymore though, it's totally up to you - If you crash/get a slowdown but you don't penalize any other player by doing that, consider that you need some time in order to get back your speed: if some player comes with higher speed than you, give him a chance to pass you without contacts -> DO NOT try to block him in order to get more speed - If many players crash into you after your own crash, it's totally up to you decide if to let anyone pass.
Racing Behavior - Gentlemanly Conduct
- if you have to let pass someone, DO NOT slowdown in a straight if you have many players around you -> you should take outside line to the next curve or the inside line on a straight.
Racing Behavior - Quitting the race
- DO NOT quit the race at last lap, if possible: that's pretty boring for other players (they have to wait up to 1 minute and 30 seconds if you do that) - if you really have to quit the race, please park your car to the grass outside the track
Racing Behavior - Pit Stops
(If Pitstops are required in the race then this rule can be enforced) - DO NOT push other players in pit stops; slow down in order to avoid that.
