Just to clarify, this is from one organiser's regs…
12.3.4 – All competing cars will form up in line behind the Safety Car no more than 5 cars lengths apart. Any overtaking on the track is forbidden, unless a car is signalled to do so by the Safety Car.
12.5.2 – When the Clerk of the course calls in the Safety Car, the latter will extinguish its lights. This will be the signal to the drivers that it will leave the track to the pit lane at the end of that lap. At this point the first car in line behind the Safety Car may dictate the pace and, if necessary, leave more than 5 cars lengths behind the following car. As the Safety Car is approaching the pit lane, the yellow flags and the "SC" boards at the Marshals posts will be withdrawn and waving green flags will be displayed for no more than one lap.
12.5.3 – Overtaking is strictly prohibited until the cars go through the green lights/flags located on the timekeeping line.
