LMP2 Traffic must adhere to the racing line when being passed by the LMP1 cars. The onus is on the LMP1 drivers to make safe passes. It is strongly advised to call out interclass passing, but because the chats don't quite work 100% there will undoubtedly be a point where oral communication can't happen. Therefore it is also imperative that LMP2 traffic make sure they check their mirrors and/or minimap to know they are getting passed by LMP1 traffic.
