The 2014 National Banger rules state the following regarding T-Bones:-
T-boning cars which are against or close to the barrier with excessive force is not allowed. It is also not permitted to t-bone a car which is close enough to the barrier to mean that significant impact with the barrier is inevitable after the hit. Even where cars are not against or near the barrier, the Steward may still consider a hard t-bone anywhere on the circuit to be excessive, and may take the appropriate action to discipline the driver. The penalty for a T-boning offence as detailed above will be 3 months.
Following agreement at the recent ORCi Council meeting, the T-bone rule is to be removed completely and replaced with the following:-
No side impacts are allowed against or close up to the Armco’.
Even where cars are not against or near the barrier, the Steward may still consider a hard side impact anywhere on the circuit to be excessive, and may take the appropriate action to discipline the driver. The penalty for a side impact offence as detailed above will be 3 months.
