As offroading is supposed to be a casual activity, there are no real rules regarding it. However there are some general 'tips' you might want to consider when offroading together. In a way they're all tied together, but they're a good guideline of conduct during offroading to keep in mind. (And yes, I do realise the 'DUH'-factor 
)
These obviously DON'T apply in a racing situation. The rules in a racing situation (if they deviate from the standard NoDo Racing guidelines) should be listed in the applicable event-thread.
Keep in mind it's not a race.
Just take it easy. Offcourse sometimes you will take different lines, so overtaking IS allowed, but you should never make a goal of it. By default, don't go for the fast lines, go for the fun/challenging lines.
Keep your wheels on the ground as much as you can.
It's inevitable you'll sometimes get airborne, but it's even more fun if you can tackle an obstacle in a controlled fashion.
Use your brakes!
Allthough it can be great fun hurdeling down a mountainside, making flips and other gymnastic moves, try to make it a controlled descend. And always expect the person in front of you to suddenly break. Wether it's to take another line, or to avoid crashing on their own.
Don't go full throtlle everywhere.
Besides the obvious occasions like hillclimbs and long straights, there is no need to go full throttle all the time. Just relax your imaginary right foot. Don't try to go as fast as possible every chance you get.
Give eachother some room.
Sometimes people will try a line, and fail at first. So leave eachother enough room to manouvre into position for a retry or a different line.
Wait for eachother.
Like in a regular race, there will be skill-gaps. Different drivers, different lines and potentially different vehicles. So what's a very easy obstacle for one, can be quite a challenge for the other. Don't leave people behind. Just try to stick together a bit, and help eachother out with pointers on how to tackle an obstacle or showing alternative lines. (if needed by giving a little push )
- Lastly, and this IS a STRICT rule: No intentional takeouts, and no use of weapons (unless mutually agreed on).
When someone has set out a trail in the form of a 'race', it could be set to GTA to have some repair-wrenches, or to simply be able to get out your car and enjoy the view from the top of a mountain
These conditions should always be kept in mind when offroading with crewmembers, unless clearly stated otherwise.
If you think anything should be added to this, let me know
