The password to enter every server is Apex.
Keep in mind that this is a social race, meant to provide you with a unique experience in a car that you won't see in any normal league race, while giving us some time to prepare AOR ACC Season 7. We would like to ask everyone who attends to bring as sensible and safe an attitude as possible, there is nothing to gain by risky moves, and everyone faces the real likelihood of damaging their car and ruining their (and others) fun. Drivers are expected to drive, at minimum, in accordance with the normal AOR league rules.

1.1 Clean racing
- 1.1.1
  
  Race cleanly at all times. No contact should occur between cars on track, and as a driver you are required to do your best to avoid this from happening. Accidents can happen, but if you are at fault for causing a collision, you are likely to be penalised.
- 1.1.2
  
  Deliberately crashing into another car will result in being permanently excluded from our ACC leagues and events.
- 1.1.3
  
  If lag (connection issues) is the cause of an incident, when it is obvious that your car's lag is the cause of another driver going off, this would still be classed as an unfair overtake. Please be more careful around other drivers if you are regularly involved in lag-related incidents.
1.2 Overtaking
- 1.2.1
  
  Don't be too aggressive when trying to overtake. As the chasing car, it is generally your responsibility to not make contact with the car in front.
- 1.2.2
  
  Overtaking an other car on the track, when under yellow flags, is prohibited/not allowed. An exception to this rule is in place, when the other car drives very slow due to damage and/or was involved in the incident causing the yellow flags. When a driver overtakes another car under yellow flags, they are supposed to return the position. This rule only applies during race sessions.
1.3 Defending
- 1.3.1
  
  Dangerous weaving and blocking is not allowed. Do not force a chasing car off the track or into a situation where they are forced to go off the throttle or on the brakes. If the attacking car is alongside you going into a corner (generally if the attacking car's front wheels is alongside or ahead of the defending car's rear wheels), you must adjust your line to avoid contact.
- 1.3.2
  
  Do not leave it too late to defend a move. Make your move clearly and fairly. If you move too late and the car behind has no time to react, it is not them who will be blamed.
1.4 Corner cutting/track extending
- 1.4.1
  
  Stay within the track boundaries with at least two tyres at all times. The track boundaries are defined in game. Cutting corners, or extending the track, to gain an advantage is not allowed. Drivers found to be persistently breaking this rule will be penalised retrospectively.
- 1.4.2
  
  If you overtake another driver with all four wheels off track, or as a consequence of cutting a corner, you must slow down and give the position back.
- 1.4.3
  
  The odd misjudgement of a corner can happen, but if you accidentally gain an advantage by going outside the track limits without getting a warning by the game, you are expected to back off to an extent that clearly negates any advantage gained.
1.5 Qualifying etiquette
- 1.5.1
  
  In qualifying, it is your own responsibility to find free space on the track when starting a hot lap. A car on a hot lap does not have to yield for a faster car approaching from behind. If you are on an in- or out-lap, however, you have to let faster cars pass you without blocking them. If you are on a fast lap approaching a slow car, flashing your lights is a way of notifying them that you're on a fast lap.
1.6 Spacial Awareness
- 1.6.1
  
  If you spin off whilst the pack is close, rejoining the track immediately is ill-advised. You do not ghost and you will cause accidents. Staying still is the best option until the other cars have avoided you. It is far easier to avoid a stationary obstacle. If you spin off whilst a competitor is close, you have to brake and stay on the brake to avoid your car rolling randomly back onto or over the track.
- 1.6.2
  
  If you for whatever reason leave the track, rejoin in a manner that is predictable, safe and in no way a danger to other competitors. Realign your car with the direction of the track as much as possible before rejoining the track.
- 1.6.3
  
  Using the in-game spotter, an external app like the crew chief or at least having the proximity arrows enabled is strongly advised. This helps the drivers to be aware of their surroundings.
- 1.6.4
  
  In case of yellow flags and/or an incident happening in front of you, you have the obligation to slow down by going off-throttle if the situation is safe or by braking to avoid any collisions. This rule only applies during race sessions.
1.7 Pit exit and pit entry
- 1.7.1
  
  Cars on a qualifying hot lap have the right of way, cars that reset to the pit during qualifying must let the hot lap cars through before entering the track. During the race, cars exiting the pits have the right of way and must be allowed to exit back onto the track. During the race, do not cut off the pit exit when a car is leaving the pit lane.
- 1.7.2
  
  You are only allowed to ignore the pit entry and pit exit line if you don't create a dangerous situation. This means that on the start/finish straight, you are allowed to cross the white pit lane lines (when not performing a pit stop), but you should make sure you don't endanger other drivers.

2.1 Being lapped
- 2.1.1
  
  We are running with the in-game rules & flags system, which means that the game should alert you with a blue flag when you are about to be lapped. When receiving a blue flag or know that a car is going to lap you and is approaching from behind, you should prepare to let them pass, without interfering with their race, when safe, within the next few corners. In single class races, this is done best by the car that is being shown a blue flag moving off the racing line and easing on the accelerator on a straight, or lifting / braking early, and/or giving up the inside line to a corner to let the lapping car pass. The exception to this rule applies when the car being lapped has completed their mandatory pit stop, and the car approaching to lap them has not yet completed their stop. In this, and only this, situation the car being shown the blue flag has no requirement to move out of the lapping cars way, and may stick to the racing line until the lapping car attempts a pass. However when the lapping car goes for a move, the blue flagged car should not defend in any way. This means that you're not allowed to brake later than the lapping car.
- 2.1.2
  
  As a means of helping with blue flags, we advise the leaders to flash their lights at cars due to be lapped. This should not be done excessively. This is their cue to inform that the driver on the lead lap is about to go for a move on the driver being lapped. Flashing your lights at a competitor you are racing for position is not to be used as a "distraction technique" or in anger at an incident.
- 2.1.3
  
  If you are faster than a car that has lapped you already, you are allowed to try and unlap yourself. Immediately after unlapping yourself, you are allowed to try to build a gap to the car behind giving you blue flags. If you don't manage to do so within one lap, and are still receiving blue flags, you must adhere to them as per rule 2.1.1.
2.2 Pit stops
- 2.2.1
  
  Stay within the white line and obey the speed limit when entering and exiting the pit lane. If you cause a dangerous situation by crossing the pit entrance or exit line, or if this is done in a way that blatantly gains time or track position, you will be penalised. Remember to assign your pit limiter button as well. The speed limit line is enforced by ACC.
- 2.2.2
  
  A pit stop must be served after the official widget start and earliest at the end of lap 1. A pit stop must also be served before the final lap of a race. This takes into account the potential for having been lapped. Failing to observe this rule will cause a race DSQ.
2.3 Driving in different conditions
- 2.3.1
  
  For races that take place at night time, all drivers are required to have their headlights on in order to make your car visible to others, and to make the road more visible for you. If you're involved in an accident which damages both of your headlights, you must return to the pits immediately for repairs. Please also make sure you have a button assigned to turn the headlights on.
- 2.3.2
  
  The above rule about having headlights on also applies to running in the fog and in the rain.
- 2.3.3
  
  During rainy conditions, having the rain lights turned on is mandatory.
- 2.3.4
  
  For races with rain or a chance of rain, please make sure you have a button assigned to turn the wipers on, or have the auto-wipers feature turned on.
2.4 Return to pit box
- If at any point in qualifying you want to return to the pit box, please do this off-track or manually drive to the pits.
2.5 In-Game Disqualification
- If you are disqualified from the race in-game and you feel it's unfair, submit your full race replay to a coordinator. If we feel that the disqualification was justified, it will remain. However if we feel that the disqualification was unfair, or a result of a game glitch, then you will be classified as the position you originally finished in.
2.6 Widget formation lap/start
- Drivers are at all times supposed to strictly follow the instructions given by the in-game widget. Drive through penalties awarded by the game will not be reverted.
2.7 Restarts
- 2.7.1
  
  In case of a major incident involving a massive number of cars in the first lap of the race, or general problems with the servers, the coordinator(s) are allowed to announce a session restart at their own discretion. The decision made by the coordinator should not be discussed during the race, if you feel like the restart wasn't needed then please contact a coordinator after the race. Only one restart will be done per race.

3.1 Lobby etiquette
- 3.1.1
  
  Shouting, name-calling and generally speaking rudely is not acceptable. Drivers who are a disruptive influence on the lobby atmosphere will be removed from the race, or in extreme cases removed from our leagues too.
- 3.1.2
  
  Respect the other drivers. Keep a friendly atmosphere in the race lobby and treat your fellow drivers as equals, regardless of them being quicker or slower than you.
- 3.1.3
  
  Respect the coordinators. Listen if they are giving a message, and accept the decisions they make. If you feel any actions/decisions are wrong, address the issue calmly and maturely. Coordinators' decisions are final within the lobby, but may be reviewed later if you feel an error has been made. Please accept that making a call instantly can be tricky and the coordinators, even if participating in the race, are expected to be entirely neutral.
3.2 Race etiquette
- 3.2.1
  
  If you are involved in an on-track incident, don't overreact. It may be frustrating, but you need to stay calm and get on with it. Losing out due to another driver's mistake or recklessness is no excuse for retaliation or acting against the rules.
- 3.2.2
  
  If you are having a bad race, don't act foolishly. As a driver, you have to accept that some races will be better than others and you can't always have it your way. If you are unable to enjoy the racing due to not always being at the front, this is not the place for you - there are many drivers in the race, and someone will always have to be at the back.
- 3.2.3
  
  Wait until everyone has finished the session, both qualifying and race, to discuss the race using the in-game chat. Discord can be used during the sessions.
- 3.2.4
  
  The cool down lap is part of the race event and therefore the same rules are being applied. Crashing into each other is not allowed during the cool down lap or any other particular time during the race event.
- 3.2.5
  
  Drivers who knowingly take out brake marker boards and other signs that could be used as reference points, may not be allowed to join future races.
3.3 Rage-quitting
- 3.3.1
  
  Deliberately quitting the race in any way - whether that is by quitting through the pause menu, getting yourself disqualified or deliberately crashing your car - is not allowed, unless you have a very good reason to do so. Accepted reasons for quitting could be that you are a danger to other drivers on track due to poor driving or connection issues. Quitting because you "couldn't be bothered" or due to being angry at something - rage-quitting, in other words - are not good reasons.
- 3.3.2
  
  Excuses such as 'poor driving' and 'connection issues' will be monitored. These are not a get-out of jail free cards if you can't be bothered. Poor driving is occasional, if perhaps life has been unkind and you haven't had as much time to practice. However, turning up each week having not practiced, and therefore not enjoying your racing because you're struggling will see you put under review. We don't expect every driver to complete a certain amount of practice each week, but we expect you to be able to control your car and be safe on track. Also the more practice you do, the more competitive you are.
- 3.3.3
  
  Connection issues can strike anybody, but drivers who are continually unable to race safely due to connection will be removed from the race.
- 3.3.4
  
  Repeatedly quitting the race before it has finished, gives the coordinators the freedom to not accept you into future races.

4.1 Missing races
- 4.1.1
  
  If you are absent without informing a coordinator or signing out through the webpage, the coordinator can decide to remove you from future races.
- 4.1.2
  
  The official starting time of a race will be stated in the race thread of every race. If everything goes according to plan, races start at this official starting time. In case of a race starting earlier or later than the official starting time, a coordinator will let all drivers know.
4.2 Connection & Lag
- It's an unfortunate aspect of online racing that having a stable connection can be critical to being able to race closely with other cars. While we understand that not everyone can have perfect connections, and that occasional lag can't be avoided, we reserve the right to ask a driver to leave a race if their connection is dangerous or causing too many issues for other drivers.
