b) Qualification

Each driver has 15 minutes to drive his fastest lap - there is no limit to the number of laps.

During qualifying, ESC is prohibited - this means that a driver is not allowed to move from the track to the pits using the ESC button. If you change into the pits despite the ESC ban, the vehicle is no longer allowed to leave the pits during the ongoing qualification. The use of the ESC key is permitted within the pit lane, in your own pit area. The starting grid is based on the lap times achieved in qualifying.

c) Start and pre-start

The race begins with the formation lap. It must not be overtaken! Overtaking during the introductory/formation lap is only permitted if a vehicle was late when leaving the starting grid and the vehicles behind could not avoid passing.

The leader sets the pace, but should stick to a recommended speed of approx. 130 km/h. The start takes place classically standing in rows of two. The start box is signaled by the simulation with a red box.
