With all the new people (including myself) racing at MARCCA, I'm wondering if we could politely explain some basic driver etiquette rules.

Here is a link to some racing etiquette, there are some nice graphics explaining corner turn-in rights too:

While that is a lot of reading, maybe we could make up a little sheet that would explain the basics that new drivers may not be aware of.

A couple of my pet peeves are:

1. It is never acceptable to hit the car in front of you. If you accidently do and cause a position change, let him back in front.
2. Turn in rights. If you are behind at the turn in you should not try to overtake. (unless he makes a mistake)
3. When somebody is clearly faster than you, let them by.
4. Do not drive reverse course and cause an accident.
5. Do not place your car (or stop) on the track where drivers may hit you.


We could maybe just make up a small list (approved by the board) and hand out copies and/or post them at the track.
