Sporting Rules 1 Race Direction - Race Judges - Technical Committee 1.1 The Race Director is responsible for the correct deployment of the event Therefore he is empowered to take all actions deemed necessary for this purpose. 1.2 The judges refer to the Race Director. They are the only ones that can handle the models in the park fermé, set them on the starting grid and retrieve them from the track after the race. 1.3 The Technical Committee consists of 5 supervisors for the compliance verification of the models and refer to the Race Director. 2 Behaviour of participants 2.1 All participants must be committed to fairness respecting the competitors for the entire deployment of the Championship, even outside the premises hosting the Race. 2.2 The Team Leader is responsible for all the members of the group and is the only one entitled to communicate with the Race Direction. He must ensure that the regulations and the timing dictated by the management for all phases of the Championship are respected. 2.3 The premises and the areas in the proximity of the entrance/exits are smoke free. 2.4 Any infringement of the regulations will imply a penalty. 3 Race rules and schedule 3.1 The 24 hours Race is open to a maximum of 48 Teams 3.2 The Slot.it Group C World Endurance Championship (WEC) is a twenty-four hour endurance race split in three separate stints of 8 hours each, including the time for the lane changes. Each stint consists of 8 manches of 60 minutes including 5 minutes for the lane change (Stint 1 from manche 1 to manche 8; Stint 2 from manche 9 in manche 16, Stint 3 from manche 17 to 24). 3.3 Points will be awarded at the end of each stint. 3.4 The winner of the WEC is the team scoring the most points adding up the awarded points of the three stints (Slot.it GroupC World Endurance Championship). 3.5 An additional extra standing list for the Slot it Group C 24 Hours will be compiled accounting the overall number of laps and track sectors. The title of “Slot.it Group C 24h Winner” will be awarded to the team that scored the longer distance along the 24 hours. 3.6 Each team must race a different model car for each stint. The couple stint/model is free. Any of the three models can be used for the qualifying practice. 3.7 The second stint will be raced in the “night” mode therefore at the least one of the models must be equipped with lights. The starting grid of the first stint is based on the laps scored during the qualifying session. The second (night) and third stint will not feature a starting grid of their own but each model will restart from the arrival point of the former stint. 3.8 The ranking of each stint is based on the overall number of laps and track sectors runned. 3.9 In case of tie, the best time will be accounted for the ranking. 3.10 The points at the end of each stint, relevant to the number of laps and track sectors, are awarded as follows: 1st 100 points - 2nd 95 - 3rd 90 - 4th 85 - 5th 81- 6th 77 - 7th 73 - 8th 69 - 9th 66 - 10th 63 - 11th 60 - 12th 57 - 13th 55th -14th 53 - 15th 51 - 16th 49 - 17th 48 - 18th 47 and so on up to 1 point to the 48th position. 3.11 The ranking of the WEC is compiled adding up the points scored at each stint. Example: Team ‘A’ Gara Modello PosizionePunti Stint 1 Stint 2 Stint 3 Nissan R89C Porsche 956 IMSA Sauber C9 1st 12th 4th 100 57 85 Overall score 242 In case of a tie the overall number of laps and track sectors of the 24 hours will be accounted for the ranking. 3.12 Each stint consists of 8 manches of 60 minutes each, including 5 minutes for the lane change. Stint 1 from manche 1 to manche 8; Stint 2 from 9 manche to manche 16, Stint 3 from manche 17 to 24. 3.13 Lane rotation. The six tracks are divided logically in three pairs: 6 5 Red Group track 1 and 2 Blue Group track 3 and 4 Green group track 5 and 6. Tracks belonging to the same group share the same design. Depending on the team’s qualifying position, each team will race its first stint on one of the above groups. Second and third 8 hours stints will be raced on the remaining two groups. 3 4 Lane rotation example Red Group: Track 2: lane 9 (outside) - 11 - 13 - 15 Track 1: lane 1 (inside) - 3 - 5 - 7 OR Track 2: lane 16 (inside) - 14 - 12 - 10 Track 1: lane 8 (outside) - 6 - 4 - 2 2 1 Blue Group: Track 4: lane 17 (outside) - 19 - 21 - 23 Track 3: lane 32 (inside) - 30 - 28 - 26 OR Track 4: lane 24 (inside) - 22 - 20 - 18 Track 3: lane 25 (outside) - 27 - 29 - 31 Green Group Track 6: lane 41 (outside) - 43 - 45 - 47 Track 5: lane 33 (inside) - 35 - 37 - 39 OR Track 6: lane 48 (inside) - 46 - 44 - 42 Track 5: lane 40 (outside) - 38 - 36 - 34 The participation to Championship implies the full acceptance of this regulation.
