Track conduct codes
Racing rules are the regulations governing competitive races, whether in motorsports, sailing, horse racing, or other speed contests.
They specify everything from equipment standards to conduct during competition: The racing rules prohibit contact between vehicles.
In sailing especially, racing rules dictate right-of-way when boats converge: Under racing rules, the starboard-tack boat has right of way.
