The Safety Car will be brought into operation upon the sole decision of the Clerk of the Course. The Safety Car will join and exit the circuit from the pit lane and that the Safety Car boards will be shown initially from the Startline, and subsequently at each flag post as the Safety Car approaches their sector. The Safety Car will join the circuit with its revolving lights on, regardless of where the race leader is.

Each time the Safety Car passes a flag point the yellow flag will be waved continuously while the Safety Car and all competing cars following it remain in the section between this points and the next flag point.

Overtaking or overlapping of any other competing car during a Safety Car intervention is forbidden. Marshals are quite often asked to report overtaking incidents under yellow flags, and that includes safety car scenarios.

The observer in the Safety Car will wave past any cars between the Safety Car and the race leader. These cars will continue at reduced speed and without overtaking until they reach the line of cars behind the Safety Car.

Marshals on the track should always be aware of cars that are trying to catch up with the Safety Car Train. They tend to travel a little faster than the reduced speed mentioned above, are tend to think that there is a free track ahead of them.

When the Clerk of the Course calls in the Safety Car it will extinguish the yellow flashing lights prior to exiting the circuit. (It is recommended that this is prior to the 2nd last corner on the circuit) and the lap should be completed with the lights extinguished.

Following the withdrawal of the Safety Car and prior to passing the Green Flag, the race leader will maintain the pace and should maintain a gap of at least no more than 5 car lengths. (In Mondello, Flaggers at Delta 28 and Delta 29the should consider the race leader as the safety car when the safety car has pulled into pit-lane on its last lap, and wait for the cars to complete a full lap before showing them the green flag.)

When the Safety Car pulls off the circuit a green flag will be waved at the start line and/or the green light shown. Overtaking remains strictly forbidden until the competing car passes the green flag at the start line. All flag posts will withdraw their yellow flag and SC board, in race direction rotation and replace them with a stationary green flag for one lap.
