16.6 - Typically, Race Stewards will provide notice that an incident is "under review" by text message in the iRacing chat. Race Stewards will notify drivers of the assessment of a penalty using the voice chat on the Race Control channel in iRacing. If the driver does not acknowledge a penalty when issued, the Race Steward will repeat the penalty via a private text message to the driver in the iRacing chat. Penalties imposed by a Race Steward must be served within three laps of the penalty being imposed (or sooner if fewer than three laps remain in the race). Ignoring a Race Steward's penalty instruction will be subject to a loss of 10 championship points.
16.7 - Drivers and their spotters may not argue with Race Stewards regarding warnings or penalties issued during the race. You may request a clarification using the league's TeamSpeak channel (or a private iRacing channel) to communicate with the Race Steward, however, the Steward's first priority will be to continue monitoring the racing activity. There is no in-race appeal of a Race Steward's penalty. Drivers may appeal a Race Steward's penalty issued on themselves (not on other drivers) after the race for purposes of clarifying the rules and expected conduct, however, there will be no change in finishing order or championship points even if the League Administrators uphold the appeal.
16.8 - Drivers and their spotters may not engage in disparaging or threatening conduct towards a Race Steward at any time, including the pre- or post-race chat, in TeamSpeak, in the iRacing chat, or on any other forum. Complaints about a Race Steward should be made privately to the League Administrators to facilitate a resolution. Similarly, Race Stewards shall be courteous at all times to drivers and spotters.
