Submission - Automatic
Upload System
The F1RST3 Client
will automatically submit hotlaps to the database
for you. Please check out our Software Guide for a
detailed description how to manage this.
Important Note: The F1RST3 Client will
only upload Hotlaps done in the RACE session of the
game, laps driven in qualy or warmup sessions will
NOT be uploaded by the F1RST3 Client Software.
Laps submitted that
are slower than the user's personal best times listed on
Hotshoe Listings, will be ignored and discarded by the
system.
Notes:
The Hotshoe System
will compare your newly submitted laps before
overwriting your old laps. If the lap is slower than
your currently listed best time, your previous (faster)
lap will remain on the system, and your slower lap that
was just submitted will be ignored and discarded without
affecting your current personal records.
4.1
Lap Legality -
Requirements
At least 1 wheel must
always be on the track at all times throughout each
corner to be considered valid. If there is less than
1 wheel touching the track pavement in a corner, the
lap is considered illegal, and will be removed upon
reporting to the Hotlaps Administrator in the
form of an official dispute.
Corner Exit
Exemption
Users are allowed to take the exit of a corner wide, while
remaining as a legal lap. Only during
the corner exit you may fully attack the curbs and their
marked outrun areas as long as the corner exit is not part
of the next corner entry. During a wide corner exit, at
least 1 wheel should be in contact with the curbs / marked
outrun area.
Blatant
Shortcutting Users who choose to bypass corners
entirely are considered illegal and will be removed with
submission suspensions for Unsportsmanlike
Behaviour.
Rails / Walls: Rail Riding is not
permitted. Contact with the walls will render
the lap illegal, and will be subsequently removed upon
receiving an official dispute.
Notes: Track Pavement does not include the track curbs.
At least 1 wheel on the track pavement at all times
during a corner is strictly enforced. You can attack
the curbs, just make sure 1 wheel is touching the track
pavement.

Policy
All disputes regarding
current Hotlaps should be sent to the Hotlaps Administrator
for review. In the event of a dispute over the validity
of a ghostlap submission, the Hotlap Administrator has
final authority. Any ruling by the Hotlap Administrator
is to be deemed final.
Notes: Please ensure that
a lap has an obvious discrepancy and explain the exact
location of the alleged infraction.
