24hr Series New to WEC, IGTC and IMSA. Cars seem to be going fast under a single waved yellow flag at 24 Hours of Nurburgring. Does this just serve as a warning for drivers to be cautious because there's a hazard on the track?

Thomas Preining, driving the Grello Porsche 911 GT3RS, seems to be going fast despite a single waved yellow flag. Donāt the drivers need to slow down in such situations? In F1, a single yellow flag requires drivers to reduce speed, so this seems quite different. So does a single waved yellow flag in IGTC/WEC/IMSA just serve as a warning for the drivers to be cautious? How do single/double waved yellow flags work at Nurburgring? Is it different from other tracks? I came across Code 60 zones as well which seem to be limited to Nurburgring only.
For some context:
A month ago, I started watching the WEC, and itās been quite the learning curve. It took me a while to wrap my head around the rules and classes. Iāve figured out the difference between LMH and LMDh, learned that LMGT3 replaced LMGTE, and that LMP2 was dropped while LMGT3 became a Pro-Am class. Just when I thought I knew enough about endurance racing, I came across the regional series like IMSA, ELMS, ALMS and realised they have their own quirks, like no hypercars but LMP2, LMP2 Pro-Am, and LMP3 instead.
Honestly, Iāve never spent this much time figuring something out outside of work, but itās been such a blast. The racing in these events is so fucking good, I might even say better than F1 (though Iām sure someone will challenge me on that).

24hr Series Limit on how many times a driver can flash their lights?
While watching the 24 hours of spa (I know itās not WEC) I heard the commentators say something about drivers only being allowed to flash their headlights for a certain amount of time.
Is this a rule in WEC and if so what does the rule actually say?

24hr Series Has anyone tried going to 24 hours of Le mans, Nurburgring and Spa in a row?
I really want to go to 24 Hours of Spa since the tickets recently dropped and realized that the big 3 24 hour races are 3 weeks in a row. Has anyone tried to go to all of them in a row? If so what was it like and if you donāt mind dropping the itinerary.

24hr Series most difficult 24Hours race to win/finish
so this question came to mind when i saw the results of the 24 hours of Fuji. and made me wonder what is the most difficult 24hour race. i recon the best way to compare it through GT3 spec as it is used in all of the races. if it would be more appropriate to do top classes do that. here is a list that i could find. i recon this i more or less in level of prestigiousness. i tried to pick races that still exit/being run.
Le Mans, Daytona, Nurburgring, Spa, Fuji, Dubai, Portimao, Barcelona
and then a list of 12 hour events as they are also somewhat relevant to the question
Sebring, Bathurst, Mugello, Estoril, Monza, Kuwait

24hr Series I watched my first 24 hour race
Hey guys, I've always been interested in cars & Motorsport. My parents cut the TV subscrption in 2013 so I unfortunately didn't have any way to watch racing.
In 2018 I got into F1 (thanks to pirate streams) then stopped around 2022 because there were things I didn't like about F1. Anyways, I watched the 2023 Le Mans 24 hours replay over the past week and I was honestly impressed.
In F1 races would have died down by hour 1 but in Le Mans the racing was engaging from race start till midnight. I thought the leaders would be spread by minutes by then. Even the last hour was super interesting.
The commentary was also relatively engaging even when nothing was going on on-track. Big props to the commentators
Here's what I liked: - great racing. It's nice to see drivers respect each other when driving side by side (unlike Verdtappen in F1 2021) - good commentary. I found it odd how calm they sounded compared to crofty, but I ended up appreciating it
Here's what I disliked: - the graphics aren't as informative as F1 and they honestly look really bad - there was too much focus on hyper cars. There was great racing in the other cats but they only showed it near the end of the race when hyper car was spread out - the camera crews love to cut away at the worst time (I wanted to see the Nascar pit stop but they cut away before it started and then cut back when it was already done š¤¦šæāāļø) - they never show on-board replays from crashed cars. In F1 they will show it once they know the driver is ok - why are the drivers allowed to cut corners so much and not get penalties!?
