The race will consist of one of three formats:

In sprint races, there will be no mandatory pitstop, however tyre changes and refuelling are allowed.

In an endurance race, there will be one mandatory pitstop for tyres and fuel. This will be carried out in a mandatory pit window between the 15th and 75th minute of the race.
