Drivers are entitled to push one another into the infield, up the wall or into one another in the fight for victory.

With no blue flags backmarker cars may wait for the lead pack and if drivers wish, may take out lead cars to best suit their track code, friends, family or teammates from the New Zealand Superstock Teams Championship.
