15.2 Overtaking
a) During a race, a kart alone on the track may use the full width of the track. However, as soon as it is caught up by a kart which is about to lap it, the Driver must allow the faster driver pass at the first possible opportunity.
b) If the Driver who has been caught does not seem to notice that another driver wants to overtake him, the flag Marshal(s)
will give a warning by waving the blue flag to indicate that another Competitor wants to overtake. Any Driver who does not take notice of the blue flag may be penalized by the Stewards. Systematic or repeated offences may result in the exclusion of the offender from the race.
c) Corners, as well as the approach and exit zones thereof, may be negotiated by the Drivers in any way they wish, within the limits of the track. Overtaking, according to the circumstances, may be done either on the right or on the left. However, manoeuvres liable to hinder other Drivers such as premature or dangerous changes of direction, more than one change of direction, deliberate crowding of karts towards the inside or the outside of the corner or any other dangerous change of direction, are strictly prohibited and shall be penalized, according to the importance and repetition of the offences, by penalties ranging from a fine to the exclusion from the race. The repetition of dangerous driving, even involuntary, may result in the exclusion from the race.
d) Any obstructive manoeuvre carried out by one or several Drivers, either having common interests or not, is prohibited. The persistent driving abreast of several karts, as well as fan-shaped arrangement, is authorized only if there is not another kart trying to overtake. Otherwise the blue flag will be waved.

16.1 The Clerk of the Course may decide to neutralize a Qualifying Heat or a Race. This procedure will be used only if the Track is obstructed, or if the Drivers or the Officials are in immediate physical danger, but the circumstances are not sufficient to justify stopping the Qualifying Heat or Race.


16.2 When the order is given to neutralize Qualifying Heat or Race, all observers’ posts will display waved yellow flags, which shall be maintained until the neutralization is over.


16.3 All the competing karts must then line up behind the leading kart, and overtaking is strictly forbidden. Overtaking will be permitted only if a kart slows down because of a serious problem.


16.4 During the neutralization laps, the leading kart will dictate the pace, at a moderate speed, and all the other karts must remain in an as tight as possible formation.

16.5 The karts may enter the paddock zone during the neutralization, but they may re-join the track only when authorized to do so by a marshal. A kart re-joining the track shall proceed at a moderate speed until it reaches the end of the line of karts behind the leading kart.


16.6 When the Clerk of the Course decides to end the neutralization, he will have the flashing orange lights switched off, this will be the signal to the Drivers that the Race is to resume next time the Line is crossed. In the last neutralization lap, the yellow flags will be shown immobile.


16.7 At that moment, the leading kart will continue to set the pace, at a moderate speed. The Clerk of the Course, or his/her Deputy will signal the resumption of the Race by means of a waved green flag at the Line. Overtaking will remain prohibited until the karts have crossed the Line at the end of the neutralization of the Qualifying Heat or Race. On approaching the Line, where a green flag will be waived by the Clerk of the Course, the Drivers may accelerate only after crossing the yellow line proceeding the Line.
The yellow flags at the observers’ posts will then be withdrawn and replaced with waved green flags. These flags will be displayed for a maximum of one lap.


16.8 Each lap completed during the neutralization will be counted as a racing lap.


16.9 If the race finishes during the neutralization, the karts will take the chequered flag as usual. Overtaking will be permitted only if a kart slows down because of a serious problem.


17. STOPPING A RACE OR PRACTICE
Article 2.21 of the CIK-FIA General Prescriptions.


Should it become necessary to suspend the Practice or Race because the circuit is blocked by an accident or because weather or other conditions make it dangerous to continue, the Race Director (if nominated) or the Clerk of the Course (or, if he/she had to leave, by his deputy) shall order a red flag to be shown on the Line. Simultaneously, red flags will be shown at marshals’ posts provided with these flags. The decision to suspend the race or practice may be taken only by the Race Director (if nominated) or Clerk of the Course (or, if he/she had to leave, by his deputy). If the signal to stop racing is given:
a) During Practice: All karts shall immediately reduce speed and go back slowly to the Servicing Park, and all karts abandoned on the track shall be removed; Practice will be resumed as soon as possible to meet the original Practice time;
b) During the Race: All karts will immediately reduce their speed and proceed as directed by the Race Director (if nominated) or the Clerk of the Course (or, if he/she had to leave, by his deputy):
i) To the Servicing Park: At this point changes and adjustments are allowed including the introduction of replacement equipment – provided that was placed within Parc Fermé prior to the original race start, refuelling is allowed. In case of restart procedure “more than 2 laps but less than 75% of the race distance”: If the judge of fact reports that the front fairing on one or more karts was no longer in the correct position when the race was suspended, in all situations a time penalty of 5 seconds will be imposed automatically on the driver(s) concerned. This time penalty is not susceptible to appeal.
ii) Stop on the track at the place designated in the briefing: When instructed by the Race Director (if nominated) or the Clerk of the Course (or, if he/she had to leave, by his deputy) no changes or adjustments can be made to the original equipment (except to reset the front fairing in the correct position under the supervision of the Scrutineers) and refuelling or chassis/engine changes are not permitted. All karts must be ready at the 5 minutes board. Karts not available at this time will start from the pit lane once the race start has been given. The classification of the Race will be the classification when the leading kart crossed the Line at the end of the lap prior to that during which the Race was stopped and any time penalty will be taken into account – and will determine the single file starting grid should the race be resumed (see Article 2.22).
