Race Format
• The 6 hrs race will be divided into 2 three hour segments; Morning (10.00hr – 13.30hr) and Afternoon (14.15hr - 17.45hr).  There will be a 45 minute           break for lunch between 13.30hr – 14.15hrs during which cars will be in “Parc Ferme”.  Each segment will be of twelve 15 minute sessions.
• 2 minutes break in between each session to swap drivers, marshals and pit crew positions.
• No drivers can drive more than 2 hours 30 minutes (10 sessions).  Teams are able to allocate drives to lanes as they choose.

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 or Lighter Fluid. Goop is not Permitted.

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 must make every attempt to to repair the race car.  If the race car is beyond           repair it may be possible to use a spare car (see Spare Car section).

Spare Car
• Not really permitted.  Race car should be repaired.  However, in the case of a catastrophic failure a spare car may be used with the agreement of the Race Controller.  In the spirit of the event, a team may continue but will not be classified in the results.
