25.6 - Off-Course Excursions

Off-course Excursions
The competitor is required to follow the marked course during the competition and shall not gain an advantage by an off-course excursion. An off-course excursion is defined as leaving the marked course with all four wheels. The definition of the term "advantage gained" will be left up to the sole discretion of the Race Steward(s), and may include pass attempts that were completed, but the overtaking driver went four-wheels-off on the exit, and it was deemed to be an otherwise "ill-fated" pass (i.e. the Zanardi maneuver").

Any positions in close competition (both forward and rear) are automatically forfeit if you go off-course. If you go off-course, your only goal is to slow to a reasonable pace, gain full control of your vehicle, and merge back onto the marked-course in the safest possible way.

If your car spins and comes to rest on the racing surface facing any direction other then the exact racing direction, you are required to stay exactly where you are until all race traffic has passed. Only then may you pull your car off the track and work on re-joining the race.
