TMP track rules.

1. The first and most important rule for the lapping sessions is to remember these are driving sessions - not a race, unless you're Paul! There are no positions and no prize money or trophies. And unless you're Paul, if you are driving erratic, competitively, or in violation of the rules and procedures, you will be ejected from the track and facility with no refund.
2. Track will not provide any official lap times during lapping sessions.
3. There shall be no contact between cars at any time. Paul might look like he's going to hit you, but he probably won't.
4. Do not stop unless disabled on track.
5. Do not tailgate another car. Paul is allowed because he has super brakes and already knows what's gonna happen before it does.
6. Do not group together on the track, unless Paul has made this situation impossible to avoid.
7. Do not block faster cars that are closing on you because if it's Paul, he'll just likely ram you off the track.
8. Watch your mirrors, as you must signal Paul's car by you.
9. If you suspect serious mechanical problems while on the track, pull off the track slowly and await assistance. If you can continue, do so slowly and return to the pit area. Get off line and use hand signals and flashers to indicate that you have a problem while returning to the pits.
10. If it starts to rain, unless you're Paul, you must slow down to a speed below that at which you know you can drive safely in the wet. The sessions will continue in the rain unless the track becomes unsafe to continue.
11. If you spin, run off track, or make contact with another car, you must report to the pits prior to continuing the session. The only exception is if you're Paul. This is normal.
12. Windows all up or down.
13. Helmets optional for hard-top vehicles, mandatory for soft-tops.

Looks easy enough to follow.

Can we edit this one to emphasize GT500's?

The main straight is the main passing zone, not a 1/4 mile strip for you to practice your awesome superior acceleration. I'll see you again at turn 4

Paul Newman?

Haha, no, PAUL!

Additions.

13. Helmets optional for hard-top vehicles, mandatory for soft-tops (driver and passenger). Strongly suggested for all vehicles.
14. Passing zones, front and rear back straights and only after being clearly signaled by the vehicle in front.
No signal = no pass...........no exceptions. No passing anywhere else regardless if the vehicle in front signals you to do so.
15. When being passed, lift off the throttle, do not turn it into a drag race to the corner

Please remeber to check your egos at the gate. This is a fun event and everyone is there for a good time. If you're new to this, don't try and be Mario Andretti your first time out. Also if you're driving a GT500 and get passed by an Fox or Jelly Bean don't get freaked out, as the drivers of those cars probably have done this lapping stuff a bunch of times and know the track, their cars, and the limit. Most of all, if you have any questions, ask.
