I thought it would be interesting to post the procedure. Here is an article from when it was announced:
https://en.endurance-info.com/auto/a...letely-revised

And these are the regs: https://assets.lemans.org/explorer/p...ons.pdf#page86

A summary of this is shown by listing the articles in order.
14.6.1 Start of the procedure
14.6.2 When you are allowed to overtake
14.6.3 SC may use the pit lane if needed
14.6.4 Merging behind one SC
14.6.5 Pass around
14.6.6 Drop back (the classes LMP2 and then GTE)
14.6.7 End of main SC procedure.

The procedure is different in the last 60 minutes of the race:
14.7.1 Deployment of SC in last 60 minutes
14.6.4, 5 , 6 and 7 won’t apply.

Two things I couldn’t find:
1. How is garage 56 treated?
2. Do they do anything different if there is a safety car just after we’ve had one (IMSA does this - they have SC light if it is less than 30 minutes (IIRC) after the last one).
