~Mid race text chat is largely prohibited. Writing down "sorry" is considered fine, but ranting and writing "why did you not wait for me to enter?" or "****ing stupid backmarker!!!" is prohibited.~

~In the event of a major crash involving multiple cars, a caution will be thrown. When it is called the field races until the next sector to take the caution, with the leader acting as pace car. The rest of the field races around to catch up and after 1 lap, the race goes green again at the start line. Pit lane remains open under a caution.

~Le Mans will use a slightly different rule, with two caution areas that the race will go green and yellow from. Zone 1 is the start line, Zone 2 is the sector just after the end of the Mulsanne straight.​
