STARTING PROCEDURE:
This race will be a manual formation lap with a rolling start. This means that once the light goes green the leader gradually speeds up to around 100 km/h (60mph) and drives in this pace towards the last corner.
All other cars follow in one line with the same speed. No brake test, no swaying. When you spin your car you drop back to last position and start from there.
When exiting the last corner the leader can go full throttle and the rest of the pack follows. No overtaking before start/finish.
Lapping:
Lapping is the key word in an endurance event with multi classes taking part, especially with four different classes which has rarely been attempted before in simracing endurance events. So every driver on the track is going to have to corporate with each other to make the passing happen very smoothly on race day.
Patience is the key when it comes to this as this is a tight track in places where passing in certain corners is very risky or not possible. So be very patient when coming up to lap cars, as losing time waiting behind lapped cars is better than a race time penalty or a harsher penalty, after race for aggressive driving when lapping.
Cars that are being lapped should not block the cars trying to lap them and you don’t need to get out of the way when a P1 or P2 is in your mirror, you should hold your line and don’t move out the way surprising the car behind. They need to overtake you clean where they have the possibility to do so and not rush the pass.
