RULES OF
AS WITH ALL ENDURANCE RACING, THE HI-TEC OILS
BATHURST 6 HOUR HAS A SET OF REGULATIONS THAT GOVERN HOW THE RACE PLAYS OUT.

Here’s an overview of some of the key things to follow as the race plays out on Easter Sunday.
• 2 or 3 drivers allowed per car, maximum.
• Only one (1) PRO-rated driver per entry.
• No driver can complete more than 3.5 hours of the 6-hour race (so those teams with two drivers need to monitor driver time carefully – big penalties if you drive for too long).
• The maximum continuous driving time for any one driver is 3 hours.
• Drivers must remain out of the car for a one-hour ‘rest’ after any stint.
• Maximum of 24 (6 sets) new MRF Control Tyres for the entire weekend. No used (previously marked) tyres allowed. Teams must get at least two sets brand new for the event.
• Race begins with a rolling start (the clock starts counting on the green flag).
• The CPS window opens after 30 minutes of the race and closes 30 minutes before the end.
• Only 1 CPS stop is permitted under any given Safety Car. I.e. you can’t take advantage of a long yellow to get two, 90-second CPS stops out the way.
