🏁 Official Regulations: GT3 Grand Prix

This document establishes the sporting rules for the 90-minute endurance race. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for all participants.

1. Event Format

The event will be divided into three consecutive sessions:

• Free Practice: 15 minutes (car setup and warm-up)
• Qualifying: 15 minutes (grid positioning)
• Race: 90 minutes

2. Pit Stop Procedure (Mandatory)

Each driver must complete at least one pit stop that meets the following requirements:

• Mandatory Services: Refueling and a change of all 4 tires are required
• Minimum Pit Lane Time: 30 seconds

Note: Time is measured from pit entry line to pit exit line (pit limiter zone). Stops shorter than the minimum time will result in a penalty.

• Pit Window Opening: Exactly at 45 minutes (midpoint of the race)
• Window Duration: Open for only 8 minutes
• Entry Requirement: Drivers must cross the pit entry line between 45:00 and 53:00 race time

3. On-Track Code of Conduct

To ensure fair and clean racing:

• Blue Flags: Lapped drivers must allow faster cars to pass in a predictable and safe manner
• Defending Position: Only one defensive move is allowed. Erratic movements or weaving on straights are prohibited
• Track Limits: Repeated abuse of track limits will be penalized automatically by the simulator or race control
• Pit Lane Etiquette: Cars already in the pit lane have priority. Extra caution must be taken when exiting to avoid interfering with flying laps

4. Incidents and Penalties

• Avoidable Contact: Causing a collision that results in another driver losing position will lead to a time penalty or a Drive-Through penalty
• Pit Window Violation: Entering the pits outside the designated 8-minute window will result in disqualification or a severe penalty (at the stewards’ discretion)

💡 Driver Tips

• Fuel Management: In a 90-minute race with a mandatory stop, plan your strategy to be lighter and efficient in the first half, and fast in the second
• Timing: Do not wait until the last second (minute 53) to pit—any mistake or pit entry traffic could invalidate your stop
