Cars Code of Conduct All CARS clubs' members and all participants in CARS events shall conduct themselves according to the highest standards of behaviour and sportsmanship and in a manner that shall not be prejudicial to the interests and the reputation of CARS or its Regions or of motorsport generally. Failure to do so shall be deemed a breach of the CARS GCRs and may result in penalties being applied. The purpose of this document is to provide a clear statement of the beliefs, expectations and ideals of CARS. In addition to any precepts provided in CARS Rules and Regulations, Bylaws or other Policies or those of its Regions, the following specific statements further delineate principles of individual conduct that CARS believes should be exemplified: 1. All participants in CARS sanctioned activities shall be bound by this Code of Conduct; 2. All participants in CARS sanctioned activities shall accept that motorsport can be dangerous and entails inherent risks; 3. All participants in CARS sanctioned activities shall be treated with consideration and respect; 4. All participants in CARS sanctioned activities shall endeavor to portray a positive image of rallysport through their exemplary driving habits; 5. All competitors in CARS sanctioned events shall assure that their vehicle complies with the regulations of the event and the class that it is registered for and that their vehicle is presented in roadworthy condition; 6. Participants in CARS sanctioned events shall not knowingly place themselves or others in a position of undue risk. Consideration of safety shall be placed before competitive goals; 7. CARS members shall pledge to demonstrate in their actions care and concern for the environment; 8. All CARS members shall strive to set exemplary standards of behaviour as they are all ambassadors for rallysport. Rule Change Guidelines General Outlines: A rule change may be proposed at any time throughout the year and may come from someone in the sport, the rule change committee, an organizer, a CARS official or the CARS Board. Once a rule change proposal is made, the proposal will be reviewed by the rule change committee under the direction of the CARS Technical Director. The proposal will go through various levels of discussion, translations and inputs from various groups which are stakeholders in our sport before the Board of Directors makes a final decision on the proposal. If the proposal is accepted, the rule change will likely take effect the following calendar year unless i) a CARS bulletin is issued or ii) a later effective date is attached to give the sport a sufficient lead time to prepare for the change in the regulations. Process for Submission: 1. The proposal, in either English or French, should be sent via email to the Technical Director and CARS Office. 2. Your proposal should be worded as it should appear in the published regulations complete with regulation number. 3. The proposal should include a concise rationale outlining the reasons why the rule change is needed. 4. All rule change proposals should be dated and include the name of the person making the rule change proposal.
