[Track Limits]
Partially copied from WRS guideline:
Drivers are expected to do their best to stay within track boundaries per the OLR. Mistakes happens over the course of a long race and the random off or two will be overlooked in most instances, but if a pattern of boundary abuse is observed penalties will be handed out which is 10 seconds per instance, and a DQ for "complete disregard" of track boundaries.
If you find yourself going wide then the next lap you're expected to slow down a bit more to make sure you stay within boundaries. If you make the same mistake multiple times and you want to avoid a penalty you can always self-penalize during the race by lifting for a very brief period upon returning to the track. Continuing to hammer the throttle after repeated boundary overruns may very well end with a post race penalty.
General Guidelines:
- Contact with walls should be avoided. Wall riding/bouncing to gain time will be penalized and/or can result in disqualification. This includes pit entry/exit.
- Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track
- Runoff areas are not part of the track.
- If you overrun boundaries by accident, lift momentarily to make sure you don't gain any advantage.
- Do not complete a pass that was made possible by going outside track boundaries.
- Red and White rumbles, gray cobblestones, and tarmac are track.
- Do not cross the white pit-in and pit-out lines.
[Use of a Pause Button (ghosting)]
The race is run with heavy damages on. However, the damages can be circumvented by pressing a pause button and ghosting yourself before colliding with the wall or another vehicle. This is useful in a tightly packed situation where a car getting out of control may affect other innocent, unwary vehicles nearby, but at the same time it is unrealistic and defeats the purpose of having the heavy damage in the first place.
For this reason, the use of pause button is permitted only on the first lap, but thereafter the use of the pause button will result in 30 seconds penalty.
[Starting Procedure]
There is a partial formation lap, with the same procedure as CORE VLN races (See below for the video - starting from around 0:33). The starting grid is based on the qualifying result. No passing is allowed until the leading vehicle crosses the start line. The start line is where the overhanging beam is after the Bit-Kurve (See the image below). There are no pace car, but the leading vehicle will pace at 100kph (62mph). Approaching the start line, the cars should take double file formation. The race begins when the leading vehicle crosses the start line.
