Safety Car procedure:
1) Safety cars will only be called if someone has a flipped car or is stuck. You are not required to "SHIFT+S" in the race, however please do so in the qualifying to prevent messing up other's lap times.
2) If the Safety Car comes out , you must catch up to the queue safely and respect the distance between cars, you can however pit during the Safety Car period.
2.1) A pre-determined Safety Car speed will announced at the Race-Information for every race, the maximum speed of the Safety Car Driver will go on the straights.
3) If you are blue flagged under the Safety Car period, wait for instructions from the Race Director to unlap yourself.
4) If you cause the Safety Car on purpose or unintentionally and you get lapped by the leader, your chance to get unlaped is reduced, it will depend on different factors; such as "Race distance, Track length and the car used". Moreover if you get the instruction to unlap yourself, we will not wait for you to get back to the queue.
5) As soon as the track is clear for racing, a message will pop-up "Safety Car in this lap", which means the Safety Car will back to its initial place.
5.1) The Safety Car will accelerate away from the queue toward the pit lane, when the Safety Car has crossed the start of the pit lane line, "Safety Car in Pit-lane" message will appear.
5.2) The leader who can decide when to accelerate for the restart, but they can't slow down again except for natural slowing points. Any unnecessary slow-down may lead to punishment.
5.3) Drivers are allowed to overtake after crossing the start/finish line, if anyone overtakes before that they may get punished.
5.4) When the Safety Car is coming into the pits, the leading driver must control the pace of the pack but also leave gap to the safety car pulling into the pits. You can NOT overtake the safety car before it passes the red cones or red line coming into the pits.
