2.4 Scoring twin battles1. There are 2 cars: one who is leading (lead car) and one who chases (chase car).
2. Hitting each other (hard) is not allowed. If 2 cars collide, the one causes the crash will be called the loser of the battle, if the collusion was avoidable. A deliberate collusion can be punished with disqualification, reducing points of disqualification of any contest. A slight collusion will not be punished, if the other car is not bothered.
3. Overtaking is not allowed, except when leader mistakes and deviates far of the ideal line. Chaser may not bother leader when overtaking. Overtaking when It isn’t necessary will be penalized.
4. Leader must do whatever it takes to simulate the ideal qualification as good as possible.
5. Chaser must do the same. While doing that, he also has to drift as close to the leader as possible unless the leader spin-out/crash/ or is far away from the ideal line. Chaser must have at least the same ‘style’ criteria as the leader at all times.
6. If the score is exact the same after 2 runs, there will be a re-run. A re-run will always contain 2 new runs. After maximum 2 re-runs the jury will call one winner. Up from the top 16 drivers there will be as much re-runs as necessary to call a contestant winner.
