Any Race stopped before the leader has completed two laps will be declared a“ No Contest” and available Competitors will restart from their original grid positions( Art. 9.2 below also applies).
Any race stopped after the leader has completed more than two laps but less than 75 % of its duration will be considered as the first part of the race. Competitors will be restarted from a grid set out in the finishing order of this first part which shall be based upon the order of crossing the finish line at one lap less than the number of laps completed by the leader at the time of first showing the Red Signal. Only Vehicles which are proceeding under their own power in accordance with App. 8 Art. 1.7. j at the showing of the Red Signal( App. 7 of this Chapter) will be classified in this first part( Art. 49. c and Arts. 9.2 – 9.5 below also apply).
If a race covered by Art. 9.1. b above cannot be restarted either at that time or later during the same Event for whatever reason then the result will be declared applying the same principle described to produced the grid order at b. above – the order of crossing the finish line at one lap less than the number of laps completed by the leader at the time of first showing the Red Signal.
When restarted the result will be the order of finishing at the end of the restarted Race unless Championship Regulations specify otherwise. The result will list all Competitors who took the start in the Race even if they did not take part in the restarted Race and will use the first part for purposes of establishing lap records and point scoring where applicable( Arts. 9.2 – 9.3 below also apply).
