The course will open for laps with 20 minutes remaining, and remain open until the time has elapsed. The pit exit will close at the chequered flag. No driver should exit the pitlane without sufficient time to start a timed lap.

The leader and all other drivers should maintain a steady speed up until the green flag signal is given. At which point overtaking is permitted.

In the event of an aborted start, drivers should maintain pace until Turn 1, and then return to single-file formation for another attempt. The race director will then instruct drivers if there are any changes to this.

9. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 7 (where possible). It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.

Overtaking is not permitted on SC restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.

5. Practice Starts
Drivers are permitted to take practice starts at the location notified above, any time the pit exit is open. Drivers taking practice starts should pull up to the yellow chalk line that marks the spot, and wait for a clear path to take their practice start. Cars in the exit lane have right of way over cars preparing for a practice start.

6. Virtual Safety Car Test
Should time permit, there will be a test Virtual Safety Car deployment in the free practice session, starting approximately 5 minutes remaining in the session. All drivers are encouraged to participate in this test.

7. Pit Entry and Pit Exit
On pit entry, at least 2 wheels must be to the LEFT of the white blend line.
On pit exit, all parts of the car must be to the LEFT of the white blend line.

8. Qualifying Procedure
Qualifying 1 will be a 10 minute session. Cars have 2 hot laps and a maximum of 2 pit exits. Drivers can do their hot laps back to back. Once either 2 laps or 2 pit exits have been completed, that drivers qualifying is over. Telepit is allowed during qualifying 1.

Qualifying Duels
Top 8 drivers from qualifying 1 will be paired into groups of 2. Groups will be called into pit lane by the race director. Once released, groups will complete a out lap and one hot lap. After each driver completes their hot lap, they are to spectate.

Each group winner will advanced to the quarter finals where the process repeats. This repeats down to the final with the final 2 drivers.

9. Race Start:
Each race will have a grid presentation after the lights turn green. Once this presentation is finished, the start procedure will begin with the 5 second signal.

An insim head-up display will appear, with five darkened lights. After 5 seconds, each light will illuminate red at one second intervals. After a pause of between 3 and 7 seconds, the lights will extinguish and the race will be started.

10. Safety Car:
On Restarts, the Safety Car will pull away from the field after Turn 10 (where possible). It must not be overtaken before it crosses the 1st Safety Car line.

Overtaking is not permitted on SC restarts until YOU have crossed the start-finish line.

11. Additional Laps Following SC/VSC*
If the safety car or virtual safety car is deployed in a race, additional laps may be added using the following formulas

First 2 laps under safety car, 1 additional lap. For each additional lap under safety car +1 lap.
E.g. 4 Laps of SC = 3 additional laps
This formula will be used for each separate SC occurrence in its entirety. e.g. First SC 4 laps (3 laps added), second SC 5 laps (4 laps added), total of 7 laps added.

2 minutes of VSC = 1 additional lap. Unlike usual safety car, this will accumulate across all VSC periods.
E.g. VSC1 1 minute, nothing added, VSC2 2 minute, total of 3 mins under VSC = 2 laps added.

No extra laps will be added if the Safety Car/Virtual Safety Car is deployed within the last 5 laps of the race.

12. Weather:
Dynamic weather will be used in all sessions. When track conditions state 'WET', only 'road' tires are permitted. If the weather changes, every competitor not equipped with the permitted tyre compound has to pit at the end of respective lap, unless being in between the triple blue line and the finish line – in that case the rule has to be met at the end of the following lap. This line is marked 'weather commit line' on the track map.

13. Attack Boost:
Attack Boost will not be used this round due to limited safe options for a attack boost lane location. Due to this, section XIV of the E-Challenge 2023 Regulations is nullified for this round only.

14. End of Race
After finishing the race, please slow WELL BELOW racing speeds after Turn 1 and proceed back to parc ferme located on drivers LEFT of turn 2. The top 3 shall report to the podium via parc ferme.

Top three and anyone else wishing to be interviewed on the broadcast should join the Commentary Box Waiting Room, and one of the commentators will move you to the Commentary Box.

15. Miscellany:
Do NOT under any circumstances Shift+P or Shift+S from on course during the race without authorization from Race Control.

You do NOT need permission to retire once you are in the pit lane.

If you suffer a lost connection or timeout from the server during the race, you are not permitted to rejoin the race.

Stop & Go penalties may ONLY be taken from the penalty box located at the location noted above.

Please post any procedural questions in this thread.

Good luck!

Hi there,

This is a website improvement suggestion.

Rather than having to download PDFs attached to forum posts, can we have the option to either view or download?

Might be easier for users to be able to view things like points standings and rule books etc.

Thanks
