1. General Conduct

All drivers are expected to race in a clean, respectful, and professional manner at all times.Le Mans Ultimate is endurance racing — patience, awareness, and consistency are just as important as outright pace.By participating in the league, all drivers agree to follow these rules and any instructions given by league administrators.Failure to follow the rules may result in:

• Warnings

Track Limits

• Drivers must make every reasonable effort to remain within track limits.

3. Race Starts & Opening Laps

The opening laps are the highest-risk period of the race.Drivers are expected to:

• Brake earlier than normal into Turn 1.

• Leave additional space to surrounding cars.

• Avoid unnecessary risks.

• Prioritise survival over position gains.

Cold tyres, heavy fuel loads, and close traffic significantly reduce grip and braking performance.Avoid divebombs and over-aggressive overtakes during the opening laps.Any avoidable first-lap incidents may receive harsher penalties.

4. Multi-Class Racing Rules

Le Mans Ultimate features multi-class racing, requiring awareness and cooperation from all classes.

Faster Class Responsibilities

• The faster class carries the responsibility to complete overtakes safely.

• Do not expect slower classes to immediately move off-line.

• Plan overtakes early and communicate intentions through positioning.

Slower Class Responsibilities

• Slower classes should remain predictable.

• Do not suddenly move off the racing line to “help” a faster class.

• Lift slightly on straights if safe to do so.

• Respect blue flags when clearly being caught.

Shared Responsibility

• Both drivers are responsible for avoiding contact.

• Patience is critical in traffic.

• Losing one second is better than ending two races.

Recovering After an Incident
