Race Format

  • The 4 hrs race will be divided in twelve segments of 20 minutes each.

  • 2 minutes break in between each segment to swap drivers, marshals and pit crew positions.

 

Marshalling

  • One team member of each team has to take a marshal position during every segment of the race, marshals positions can be swapped with the other team member, making sure the position is covered at all time. 

 

Tyre cleaning

  • The racer at the driver station or a team member (not the one marshalling) can clean the tyres during racing, only with tape

 

Breakdowns and Car Repairs

  • During racing every team will have a team member at the pit station in order to clean tyres or make repair work if necessary.

  • During a break down situation, the race will keep running and the team will have to decide if to repair the car or use the spare car.

  • If use the spare car, this will incur in a 25 laps penalty, and the main car cannot take part in the event again, in case of breakdown of the spare car the only available option is to repair it.

 

Spare Car

  • Each team can have one spare car, always meeting the event car regulations.

  • The use of the spare car once the race has started will incur in a 25 laps penalty

  • Once a team have decided to use a spare car the main car cannot take part in the event again

  • In case of breakdown of the spare car, the only option available is to repair it.
