lap. A Race interrupted and not restarted in duration
of less than 50% may be declared incomplete.
If declared incomplete, GRAND-AM is not obligated
to distribute awards and/or points. GRAND-AM
may readjust and/or account for point eligibility
under this circumstance in order to maintain
consistent Driver team pairings and point totals at
its sole discretion.
6.7 Mandatory Pit Stops. In Races where a pit stop is required
prior to a specific time, this requirement is fulfilled on pit
stops occurring after the Car has crossed the Start Line for
the first time. The time for mandatory pit stops is measured
at the Commitment Line.
6.8 Drive Time Restrictions. A Driver must not drive for more
than three and one half (3½) hours consecutively. After
driving a minimum of three and one half (3½) consecutive
hours, a Driver must take a minimum one (1) hour rest prior
to returning to competition. The total maximum driving time
permitted during a 6-hour Race is five (5) hours. For Races
longer than six (6) hours, driving time is limited to a maximum
of 14 hours total.
6.9 Race Completion. The Race officially ends when the overall
leader crosses the Finish Line at the display of the checkered
flag. Finishing positions are determined according to the
number of laps completed, regardless of whether the Car is
running at the finish. Cars completing the same number of
laps are ranked according to the time taken to complete
those laps. The finishing position of a Car that does not
complete one (1) lap is determined by its starting position in
relation to any other Car(s) that do not complete one (1) lap.
6.10 On-Track Rules. Only the Driver is permitted to refuel or
service a Car behind the first line of protection and only with
the approval of the Race Director. Outside assistance is
prohibited. A Driver must not push his Car; however, a
Course Marshal may push or tow a disabled Car to a safe
location without penalty to the Competitor. The track is
defined on both sides by painted verge lines or the edge of
the pavement. A Car four wheels off track must re-enter
safely, gain no advantage and must not interfere with,
contact or cause a Car on track to deviate from its line.
