the Competitor must stop in his or her pit on the next pass by the
pit area for consultation with a Lap Battle Official. It means
that the Competitor has committed an infraction of the Rule Book
or an act of unsportsmanlike conduct.
The Race Director may halt
the timing and scoring of a Competitor who fails to obey a waving
black flag after three consecutive laps. Lap Battle may substitute
the waved black flag or black flag with orange disc at start/finish

the car in by radio. The Race Director may halt the scoring of the
car following three crossings of the start/finish line following
the official directive. |

the course must return to the pits immediately, and may expect the
practice or qualifying session to resume when the temporary situation
giving rise to the black flag is corrected. |
