Code of Conduct

At our facility, and across RC racing in general we expect the following simple behaviours and rules to be observed.

  1. Race to enjoy and improve your skills.
  2. Always abide by the AARCMCC section and general rules.
  3. Co-operate with your fellow competitors, officials and Club, as without them there would be no racing.
  4. No unsportsmanlike behaviour or intentional abuse of equipment will be tolerated.
  5. Recognise the value and importance of all volunteers. Help and support them whenever you can.
  6. Never argue with an official or marshal.
  7. Do not publicly question an official’s judgement, and never their honesty.
  8. No participant is to make offensive, disparaging or insulting remarks about any other participant, official,

    volunteer or spectator.

  9. No participant is to make threats or use physical violence towards any other driver, official, volunteer or

    spectator.

  10. Drivers will be held accountable for the actions of their pit crew, family members and relations or any

    other persons in their company at an AARCMCC competition or event.

  11. Any behaviour or conduct which is considered to bring the sport into disrepute will not be tolerated.
  12. The consumption of illegal, performance enhancing or social drugs, by drivers, officials, pit crew, parents

    or spectators at any AARCMCC event is prohibited.

  13. The consumption of alcohol at any AARCMCC event, by participant’s, officials, pit crew, parents or

    spectators, is prohibited. No participant will be permitted to compete if he/she is suffering the obvious effects of alcohol. Consumption of alcohol at social functions is permitted within the limits of the law and must be done responsibly. Persons doing so are still accountable to this Code of Conduct.

  14. Any complaints that you have about Officials or other participants should be put in writing and submitted to the relevant AARCMCC section, which will take all accounts into consideration and make a ruling.
  15. Social Media and electronic communications should be restricted to event matters. They must not offend, intimidate, humiliate or bully any member, or be misleading, false or injure the reputation of members or others. Communications should also seek to protect the privacy of members and must not bring the club or sport into disrepute. Electronic communication regarding people under 18 years of age will be through parents or guardians.
  16. Where an event or competition necessitates accommodation away from the normal residence, including but not restricted to Motels, Hotels, Caravan Parks or any public area, before and after racing hours, and including travel to and from an event, this code of conduct applies.
  17. Officials will report all breaches of the behaviour code, to AARCMCC General and apply penalties in accordance with the rules. The participants home Club will be notified of any breach by their members.
  18. If a driver is in breach of the above code of conduct during an event, he/she may be disqualified from the event, and/or banned from participation in future AARCMCC or international events.
