If possible, the Safety Car will enter the course ahead of the leader, who must slow down to facilitate this. Failure of the overall leader to slow down and take up position behind the Safety Car may result in a one (1) lap penalty. All competitors will then follow the Safety Car in single file; stragglers should catch up with the field as quickly as possible consistent with safety. Competitors may not pass the Safety Car unless they are specifically waved by.

The pit entrance will be closed from the beginning of the Safety Car intervention until the Safety Car has picked up the overall leader and main field. The Race Director will then instruct Pit Control to re-open the pits. Any car which enters while the pits are closed and receives assistance before the pits have been re-opened will receive a penalty of a minimum of one lap.

23.4 - Pit Stops:

23.5 - End of Operation:

• When the course is clear, the Race Director will instruct the Safety Car to extinguish its safety lights to indicate that the end of the Safety Car intervention is about to occur. The Safety Car will exit the course at the pit entrance area and the field will be under Starter’s orders.

On the restart, the Starter will display the green flag and the yellow flags will be dropped.

Special Safety Car procedures for a given event will be discussed at the Drivers’ Briefing.

24.1.1 - If the car classified first in the General Classification has not crossed the start/finish line after the race duration has expired within a time equal to twice its fastest race lap, the checkered flag will be displayed when the next passing car crosses start/finish.

24.1.2 - The checkered flag will be displayed for a maximum of four (4) minutes.

24.2.1 - Should, whatever the reason, the Checkered Flag be displayed after more than 90% of the prescribed time is elapsed (with the exception of stopping the race as specified in Art. 22), the race will be deemed to have finished when the flag is displayed.

24.2.2 - Should, for any reason, the Checkered Flag be delayed, the race will be deemed to be finished when the prescribed time is elapsed or distance is covered.

25.2 - Classification requirements:

25.2.1 - The car placed first in the General (Overall) Classification is the car which has covered the greatest distance first when it receives the Checkered Flag on the race track.

25.2.2 - Every car must cross Start/Finish on the race track while the Checkered Flag is waved to be classified as "running" at the end of the race.

25.2.3 - Cars will be classified according to the actual distance covered during the race and the time in which they completed it.

25.2.4 - Should the race be run in two (or more) parts, the winning car is the one which has covered the greatest distance first.

After the qualifying sessions: About 5 minutes after the end of the last qualifying session, the driver who has achieved the “Pole position” in category and class must attend a Press Conference in the designated Media Interview Area.

At the Finish: First place overall and category class winners shall attend the Winner’s Press Conference as soon as the prize giving ceremony on the podium is completed and as instructed by the Officials.
