23.2     -             Identification:  One Safety-Car fitted with revolving yellow lights.  

23.3     -             Procedure: 

                •   The Race Director may dispatch the Safety Car at any time during an event in order to correct a hazardous situation.  Drivers will be warned that the Safety Car will be used when all turn stations display two stationary yellow flags or one yellow flag and an SC Board.

                    No passing is permitted anywhere on the circuit.  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:

                •            Competitors may enter the pits at any time while the Safety Car is on course, but may not re-enter the racing circuit unless directed by a marshal.  The pit exit will close at the moment that the Safety Car passes a predefined point, which will be announced in the Drivers’ Briefing and will re-open when the Safety Car and main pack of cars have passed pit exit.  

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.  

ART. 24 - FINISH  

            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.
