TxRoC POLICY

Any driver wishing to enter a Texas Race of Champions Series Race must meet all of the requirements as set forth in the 2011 Texas Race of Champions Rulebook, which can be found here. Some of these rules are listed below. For a full compilation of the rules, please see the 2011 Rulebook.

13/13 No Contact Policy

This rule states that any driver found to be at fault in an incident on track will be placed on probation for 13 months. During that 13 month probationary period if the same driver is found at fault in another racing incident, then his or her license will be suspended for a further 13 months.

Determining fault in any incident will be at the discretion of the race steward and the Texas Race of Champions competition committee. It will be possible for more than one driver to be at fault, especially in circumstances when contact is involved.

The intent of the rule is that all drivers on track must be aware of their surroundings and give racing room to other drivers on track. In order for the competition committee to make well informed decisions, we encourage all our competitors to use on board cameras. This method is the best way to prove you're not at fault during any incident on track.

All safety related incidents are open for review and punishable by the 13/13 policy. Competitors who drive over aggressively and put themselves and others in danger will be subject to penalty by the 13/13 policy.

Examples of over aggressive driving are: unsafely reentering track after an off, body contact with another competitor, off track incidents that involve contact with barriers or safety equipment, off track incidents that cause loss of TxRoC green flag time, and repeated offs in a single session.

ALL incidents are to be scrutinized by TxRoC committee, and the committee will have final say regarding safety and penalty assessment. Again, the intent is to have a NON CONTACT racing series, and any violations of the intent of those rules will be dealt with under the 13/13 policy.
