Section 2.
Prologue - Safety is the highest priority within Alliance Endurance Series. Every driver is responsible for maintaining a safe racing environment and must always drive with consideration for fellow competitors. Failure to comply with safety regulations may result in severe sporting penalties.
2.1 - Drivers are responsible for maintaining control of their vehicle at all times. Reckless or dangerous driving that places other competitors at unnecessary risk is strictly prohibited.
2.2 - Drivers must make every reasonable effort to avoid contact with other competitors. Avoidable contact, regardless of intent, may be investigated by the Stewards and penalised accordingly.
2.3 - Drivers leaving the circuit must rejoin safely and without interfering with traffic. Unsafe rejoins may result in significant time penalties or further disciplinary action.
2.4 - Drivers must remain predictable when defending, attacking or being lapped. Sudden direction changes, unnecessary braking or erratic driving that creates avoidable incidents are prohibited.
2.5 - During all Formation Laps, drivers must follow the procedures outlined in the Start Procedures section. Aggressive acceleration or deceleration, unnecessary weaving, collisions or overtaking are strictly prohibited.
2.6 - The following actions are considered major safety offences:
• Intentional contact
• Brake checking
• Driving the wrong direction
• Waiting on circuit for another competitor
• Deliberately causing accidents
• Ignoring Race Control safety instructions
Major safety violations may result in disqualification, penalty points, race bans or removal from the championship.
Section 3.
Prologue - Flag regulations are used to communicate important information to drivers during official AES sessions. All competitors are expected to understand and comply with flag instructions at all times.
3.1 - The Green Flag indicates that the circuit is clear and racing conditions are normal, Drivers may race freely and overtake where permitted.
3.2 - The Yellow Flag indicates a hazard ahead, Drivers must exercise caution and be prepared to alter their line or reduce speed if necessary. Drivers must not deliberately gain an advantage through an incident occurring within a Yellow Flag zone.
3.3 - The Blue Flag indicates that a faster class car or race leader is approaching. In multi-class racing, slower-class drivers should remain predictable and avoid sudden changes of direction. The responsibility for completing a safe overtake remains with the faster car.
3.4 - The White Flag indicates a significantly slower vehicle ahead, Drivers should approach with caution and be prepared for speed differences.
3.5 - The Black Flag indicates that a driver has been disqualified from the session. Drivers receiving a Black Flag must follow instructions issued by Race Control immediately.Failure to comply may result in additional disciplinary action.
3.6 - The Chequered Flag signals the conclusion of the session. Drivers must complete the current lap safely and return to the pits or follow Race Control instructions. Post-race incidents occurring after the Chequered Flag may still be investigated by the Stewards.
Section 4.
Prologue - Drivers will join the "Endurance" lobby to participate in the race, Drivers will then be entered into the race after a 10s count down.
4.1 - The actual start procedure will begin as a Formation Lap > Pit Lane Start as everyone fuels up and puts on their tyre of choice.
4.2 - All drivers will have to keep in formation between 2nd-3rd gear behind the leader, the furthest you may gain must be within 1s.
4.3 - Drivers will fuel to 75% fuel then exit in the same order they joined otherwise they may face penalties for jumping positions.
4.4 - As soon as the driver in first position leaves the pit entry the race will begin, Unless otherwise stated pre-race.
4.5 - Other start procedures include,
Formation Lap > Rolling Start
Formation Lap > Grid Start
These will be under rare circumstances and a direct order from the owner.
4.6 - Restart Procedures will most-likely be a rare occurrence but they will stand under a FCY, The start procedures will be as shown below.
Safety Regrouping Lap > Rolling Start
Safety Regrouping Lap > Pit Lane Start
These will bring the grids back together in the order they were on track regardless of the class.
Section 5.
Prologue - Alliance Endurance Series promotes hard, fair and respectful racing. All drivers are expected to compete in a professional manner whilst respecting fellow competitors. Drivers must avoid actions likely to cause unnecessary incidents or disputes
5.1 - All competitors must treat fellow drivers with respect both on and off the circuit. Unsportsmanlike conduct, retaliation, intimidation or deliberate attempts to disrupt another driver's race are prohibited.
5.2 - A driver who has achieved significant overlap before corner entry is entitled to racing room.
Drivers must leave sufficient space for competitors legitimately alongside and avoid forcing another car off the circuit.
5.3 - The responsibility for completing a overtake lies primarily with the overtaking driver. Drivers attempting overtakes must maintain control of their vehicle and avoid reckless manoeuvres.
5.4 - Drivers may make two defensive moves to protect their position but multiple reactions, weaving or deliberate blocking are prohibited. All defensive actions must be completed safely and without causing avoidable contact.
5.5 - HYC and GT3 competitors must race with awareness of differing vehicle performance and braking characteristics. GT3 drivers are encouraged to remain predictable when being approached by faster-class traffic and HYC drivers are responsible for ensuring overtakes are completed safely and without unnecessary risk. A class difference does not grant priority over another competitor, and all drivers remain responsible for avoiding contact wherever possible.
5.6 - If a driver gains a position through avoidable contact, leaving the circuit or gaining an unfair advantage, they are expected to return the position at the earliest safe opportunity. Failure to do so may result in additional penalties being applied by the Stewards.
Section 6.
Prologue - Track limits exist to ensure fair and consistent competition across all AES events. Drivers are expected to make every reasonable effort to remain within the boundaries of the circuit at all times. Whilst occasional mistakes may occur during racing conditions, repeated or deliberate abuse of track limits will not be tolerated.
6.1 - The circuit boundary is defined by the kerbs and white lines located at the edge of the racing surface. Drivers are expected to remain within these limits throughout practice, qualifying and race sessions.
6.2 - A minimum of two wheels must remain in contact with the racing surface at all times. A driver will be deemed to have left the circuit when all four wheels cross beyond the defined track boundary.
6.3 - Drivers must not deliberately exceed track limits in order to gain time, improve corner entry or exit speed. Any advantage gained through exceeding track limits may be investigated regardless of whether an in-game penalty has been applied.
6.4 - Runoff areas, escape roads and other designated safety zones exist to improve driver safety. These should only be used when necessary, to avoid an incident or as the result of a genuine driving error.
6.5 - Should a driver gain an advantage after leaving the circuit, they are expected to safely give up the position or benefit gained at the earliest reasonable opportunity. Failure to return an advantage may result in the FIA Stewards applying additional penalties.
6.6 - Drivers rejoining the circuit after leaving the racing surface must do so safely and without interfering with competitors already on track. Cars remaining on the racing surface retain priority at all times. Unsafe rejoins which force another driver to take avoiding action, alter their racing line or result in contact may be subject to significant penalties.

• Corner or circuit location.
• Drivers involved.
• Brief description of the incident.
