Race Control Standards

These standards keep NAML events fair, competitive, and enjoyable. Event nights may include additional rules posted by Race Control.

The goal: clean competition.

Race hard, race smart. We’re here for realistic racing, organized demolition, and a league atmosphere. If you’re unsure on track etiquette, ask in Discord before the event.
