Automatic Disqualification

Drivers who exceed the maximum incident setting will be automatically disqualified from sessions as soon as they acquire the designed quantity of incident points. To manage this setting, look for a brand new checkbox within the hosted session’s “OPTIONAL SETTINGS” section. You will need to check the checkbox and enter a quantity higher than zero.
Race Control
– Included a brand new regulation that will disqualify a driver in a race session if his or her incident points achieve an incident points limitation outlined in the event options. By default there is no limitation defined. In a race the message you observe when you get an incident point will display your overall incident points for the race so far, eg: “Off Track (1x) Total 14x” If there is a limitation defined, it is displayed after the total, eg: “Off Track (1x) Total 14x/25x” if there is a twenty-five point limit.
