12 Hours of Sebring Revival - Driver's Briefing and Track Limits

Race - This is a 12-hour Endurance race.  Drivers will be competing in 6 stints of two hours each.  However, drivers are reminded that the stint actually only lasts 1 hour and 40 minutes. Drivers are expected to be familiar with the Rules and Regulations come race time, so please review them before race day.  A reminder that drivers are not allowed to double stint between the final two stints, stint 5 and stint 6, so we can try and get the race back on track and finish on time.  Drivers are also encouraged to read this: Multi-Class Racing: A Reminder in Etiquette.  

Pit Stops - Both classes will have to do 3 pit stops during each stint. Remember that drivers will not be permitted to drive back to the pit entrance once they pass it.  If they miss the pit entrance, drivers will have to drive around the track again to get back to the pit entrance.

Note: Teams who incurred an extra pit stop for stint 1 must do so at the end of the first RACING lap.

Assists - The usual assist limits will be in place for this race.  The only assists that will be banned during this race are stability management, assisted steering, assisted braking, friction assist, and collision assist.  All other assists will be allowed.  

Stint Starting Procedures - Stint 1 will start with a typical 60 mph / 129 kph 2x2 Rolling Start.  Stint 2 thru 6 will be a single file start, starting as cars go under the bridge on Gurney Bend as shown below. Drivers are not allowed to exceed 60 mph / 97 kph before exiting Turn 3. Remember that drivers are not to accelerate to race pace until THEY pass the designated start point.  


If anyone has further questions, please post them in this thread.  Good luck, and I will see you all on track.

For this race, we are making clarifications as to track limits at specific sections of the track. If it is not specified, 2 wheels MUST remain on track at all times, designated by the lines on the outside of the track. Note: these track limits are for the race only. Most of these exceptions will dirty your lap in qualifying. You still must set a clean lap in qualifying.  

For Turn One, drivers are allowed to use the track the whole way up to the inside wall.  



Sunset Curve
For Sunset, drivers are allowed to use the track the whole way up to the inside wall. 


When exiting Sunset, drivers are allowed to use the track the whole way up to the outside wall.



Finally, drivers are reminded that they must follow the pit exit the whole way to the end of the pit lane, marked by the cones.  Even if the cones are gone, still use the whole pit exit marked by the yellow line.  Here's a video to show an example.


I hope this clears everything up for everyone!
