**Qualifying:**
* Drivers must **not pressure or overtake** any car on a valid qualifying lap.
* Overtakes are only permitted if there is a **mutual agreement** (via voice chat or by the car ahead signaling with indicators).
* If no agreement is made, the faster car must **find a safe place, create a gap, and restart their lap attempt**.
* Cars waiting for a gap must remain **off the racing line** and avoid blocking.
* If a train of cars is waiting off-line and a car approaches that is **not on a fast lap**, they must either wait in order with the pack or return to the pits.

🔵 **Blue Flag & Qualifying Protocol – Updated Rule #10**
**Race (Blue Flag):**
* Blue-flagged drivers must **yield within 5 corners** once a faster car makes their presence clear (e.g., via radar, flashing, proximity).
* Drivers do **not** need to dive off track or abandon their line instantly – but must remain predictable.
* **Erratic moves, brake checks, or sudden line changes = not allowed.**
* If the blue-flagged car is genuinely at pace, they may defend **until** the 1s proximity window is reached.
