MINIMUM PIT STOP TIME. At each Event for each race, a Minimum Pit Stop Time will be established, taking into account the time driven with a max. speed of 60 kph in the pit lane from the entry timing loop to the exit timing loop and the calculated standard times for stopping, restarting and tire and driver changing. The "Minimum Pit Stop Time" will be published in the Briefing Notes of each Competition Event. The pit stop must be carried out in front of the designated pit or area of each team under the responsibility of the designated Team Manager. The Minimum Pit Stop Time will be used for 3 pit stops that occur during the races irrelevant of the works done at the time of the pit stop. This time will not inclued the time spent in the refueling area. Competitors have to perform 3 mandatory pit stops with a time greater or equal to the Minimum Pit Stop Time. The mandatory Pit Stops must be carried out within 3 hours and 45 minutes from the start of the race. At the latest, for the last mandatory pit stop, the car must cross the pit entry loop before 3h44 minutes and 59.999 seconds of race time elapsed. In the case where, during this period, the number of pit stops respecting the « Minimum Pit Stop Time » is less than 3, the car will receive a STOP & GO penalty + the missing time compare to the « minimum pit stop time rounded up to the upper second. It is during each of these three compulsory stops that the cars entered will have to respect the possible time penalties allowing the balance of the crews (see appendix 4). They must be added to the minimum pit stop time. For any event of a duration different from 4 hours, the time penalties will be specified in the special rules of the event. For crews composed of persons with reduced mobility, the minimum stopping time will be adjusted. After stopping at the pits, driving at an abnormally low speed and or, behavior being considered as an obstruction to other drivers may be punished with a "Stop & Go".
