b) Official instructions will be given to drivers by means of the signals laid out

in the FIA International Sporting Code. Competitors must not use flags similar

to these.

Drivers are strictly forbidden from driving their Car in the opposite direction to

the recognised Track direction unless this is absolutely necessary in order to

move the Car from a dangerous position.

A car may only be pushed to remove it from a dangerous position by the

driver or by the marshals.

If any mechanical assistance results the car being driven or pushed back to

the pits, the following penalties will be imposed:


2017


13

- During a qualifying session, the car may not be used again in that session

and if it is used again, the drivers fastest qualifying lap time from that session

will be deleted.

-During a race, resulting in the engine starting and the driver re-joining the

race, will be disqualified from the results.

A driver who abandons a car must leave it in neutral or with the clutch

disengaged and with the steering wheel in place. Any infringement will be

reported to the Stewards of the meeting for further penalties.

None of the penalties will be imposed if a driver, having received such

assistance, then leaves the car in the Parc Ferme.

c) The Driver of any Car leaving the Track because of being unable to

maintain racing speed should signal the intention to do so in good time and is

responsible for ensuring that the manoeuvre is carried out safely and as near

as possible to a point of exit. Should a Car stop outside the Pit Lane it must be

moved as soon as possible so that its presence does not constitute a danger

or hinder other Drivers.

If the Driver is unable to move the Car it shall be the duty of the Marshals to

assist. If such assistance results in the Driver rejoining this must be done without

committing any breach of these Regulations and without gaining an

advantage.

d) Throughout the Meeting, Drivers must at all times observe the provisions of

the Code of Driving Conduct on Circuits as published as part of the FIA

International Sporting Code (Appendix L).

Drivers must use the Track at all times. For the avoidance of doubt, the white

lines defining the Track edges are considered to be part of the Track but the

kerbs are not, and, a Driver will be judged to have left the Track if no part of

the Car remains in contact with the Track. Should a Car leave the Track for

any reason, and without prejudice to the actions/penalties listed below, the

Driver may rejoin. However, this may only be done when it is safe to do so

and without gaining any advantage.

Repetition of serious mistakes or the appearance of a lack of control over the

Car (such as leaving the Track) will be reported to the Stewards and may

entail penalties upon that Driver If during a Race a Driver overtakes another

Driver by going off of the Track or is deemed to have gained an unfair

advantage by going off of the Track, a Drive Through Penalty may be

imposed by the Stewards even if this is the Driver’s first offence.

e) A speed limit of 40kph at Kari Motor Speedway & 60kph at Budh

International Circuit and maximum safety precautions will be enforced in the

Pit Lane at all times during the course of a Meeting. Signs and/or lines will be

used to indicate the beginning and end of the area to which the speed limit

applies.

Any breach of this Regulation during Free Practice, Qualifying and Race will

result in penalty of 1000/- INR 1st offence and 5000/- INR 2nd and onward

offences of the weekend.

For the purposes of determining speed in the Pit Lane, the Stewards may use

any information obtained by the Judges of Fact by means of specific speed

control instruments (such as electronic and timing devices, radar guns, etc.).


2017

f) Practicing start manoeuvres on the Track is strictly forbidden throughout

the Free Practice Sessions, Qualifying Sessions and Races unless advised to

the contrary by the Race Director / Clerk of the Course at the Drivers’ Briefing.

Failure to comply with this Regulation will be monitored and will be applied

upon the Driver.

g) A Car alone on the Track may use the full width of the said Track.

However, as soon as it is caught by a Car which is about to lap it, the Driver

must allow the faster Driver past at the first possible opportunity.

If a Driver who has been caught by another Driver does not seem to make full

use of the rear view mirrors, Flag Marshals will display waved blue flags to

indicate that the faster Driver wants to overtake. Any Driver who appears to

ignore the blue flag will be reported to the Stewards who may penalise them.

h) Overtaking, according to the circumstances, may be carried out either on

the right or on the left. However, manoeuvres liable to hinder other Drivers

such as more than one change of direction to defend a position, deliberate

crowding of a Car beyond the edge of the Track or any other abnormal

change of direction, are strictly prohibited.

More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted. Any

Driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his

position off‐line, should leave at least one car width between their own Car

and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner.

Any Driver who appears guilty of any of the above offences will be reported

to the Stewards and may be penalised.

i) One or more yellow flags being shown at a Marshals post will indicate the

existence of a hazard of some kind ahead. Drivers must reduce speed and

be prepared to change direction or possibly come to a stop. Overtaking is

strictly forbidden under such circumstances until such time as the driver

passes a green flag. Any breach of this Regulation during Free Practice &

Qualifying will result in penalties imposed upon the Driver.

j) When a Driver uses an Escape Road, they must respect any instructions

given to them by the Marshals and sufficiently reduce their speed before re-

joining the Track. Any breach of this Regulation may be subject to penalty

imposed by the Stewards.

alcohol or illegal, banned or controlled substances (unless the Driver

concerned is in possession of a current, valid Therapeutic Use Exemption

Certificate issued by their ASN) during the course of this Race Meeting.

m) Other than by driving on the Track, Competitors are not permitted to

attempt to alter the grip of any part of the Track surface.

n) Breach of or failure to comply with the provisions of the FIA International

Sporting Code, with these Regulations relating to general safety discipline or

2017


15

of the Driver concerned from the Meeting, according to the seriousness of

the offence.

o) At any time during this Race Meeting any breach of the Regulations

Unless it is completely clear that a Driver was in breach of any of the above,

any Incidents involving more than one Car will normally be investigated after

the Race.

b) It shall be at the discretion of the Stewards to decide, upon receipt of a

report or a request by the Race Director / COC, if a Driver or Drivers involved

in an Incident shall be penalised.

c) If an Incident is under investigation by the Stewards, a message informing

all Competitors which Driver or Drivers are involved will be displayed on the

timing monitors whenever possible. Any Driver involved in an Incident may

not leave the venue without the consent of the Stewards until such time as

their enquiries have been concluded.

d) If the Stewards decide to impose a Drive Through Penalty, then the

following procedure will be observed:-

e) The Stewards may give written notification of the Drive Through Penalty

that has been imposed to a Team member of the Driver concerned and will

advise the Driver by means of a penalty board showing the Car number. They


2017


16

will also ensure, wherever possible, that this information is also displayed on

the timing monitors.

f) From the time the Stewards’ decision is notified by the showing of the

penalty board, the relevant Driver may cover no more than two complete

laps before entering the Pit Lane.

g) The Driver must enter the Pit Lane, obeying the Pit Lane Speed Limit, and

drive through the Pit Lane without stopping and rejoin the Race. It is not

permitted for the Driver to enter the Pit Lane to take their Drive Through

Penalty during a Safety Car period. The Safety Car period is deemed to be

over when the Driver subject to the penalty passes the green flag at the Finish

Line on the Track.

h) If this penalty has to be imposed during the last three laps or after the end

of a Race, this penalty will be replaced with a Time Penalty of up to a

maximum of 60-seconds to the affected Driver’s race time.

i) Any breach or failure to comply with this Regulation will result in the Driver

concerned being disqualified from the Race results.

B 14 PIT LANE

a) The section of Track leading to the Pit Lane shall be referred to as the “Pit

Entry”. During competition access to the Pit Lane is allowed only through the

Pit Entry. Except in exceptional circumstances, as adjudged by the Stewards

only, the crossing in any direction of the line separating the Pit Entry and the

Track is prohibited. Any breach of this Regulation during the course of a Free

Practice Session will result in a Fine of INR 2000.

Any breach of this Regulation during the course a Qualifying Session will result

in penalties imposed upon the Driver.

b) Any Driver intending to leave the Track or to enter the Pit Lane shall signal

their intention to do so in good time and shall make sure that it is safe to do

so. At all times, access to the Pit Lane is allowed only through the Pit Entry.

Any breach of this Regulation may result in a Fine of INR 2000 and may lead

to further penalties, at the discretion of the Stewards.

c) During all practices and races, there will be a Green or Red Light/Flag at

the end of the Pit lane. Cars may only leave the pit lane when Green Light is

on or Green Flag is shown.

d) Except in exceptional circumstances, as adjudged by the Stewards only,

Cars leaving the Pit Lane to return to the Track must not cross any line marked

at the Pit Lane Exit aimed to separate the cars leaving the Pit Lane from the

cars running on the Track. Any breach of this Regulation during the course of

a Free Practice Session will result in a Fine of INR 2000.

e) The Pit Lane shall be divided into two lanes. The lane closest to the Pit Wall

will be referred to as the Fast Lane and the lane closest to the Pit Garages will

be referred to as the Inner Lane. The only area in the Pit Lane where any work

can be carried out on a Car is the Inner Lane. Cars may enter or remain in

the Fast Lane only with the Driver sitting in the Car behind the steering wheel

in their normal position, in the order in which they got there under their own power.

It is forbidden to mark lines on any part of the Pit Lane. Any breach of this


2017


17

Regulation will result in a minimum Fine of INR 5000 imposed upon the

Competitor and may lead to further penalties, at the discretion of the

Stewards.

f) No equipment may be left in the Fast Lane. A penalty for any breach of

this Regulation will be subject to the judgement of the Stewards. They alone

shall decide on the penalty to be imposed depending on the severity of the

offence.

g) Cars shall only be permitted in the zone allocated. Stopping or parking a

Car, even temporarily, outside of the zone assigned to that Competitor is not

permitted at any time. A penalty for any breach of this Regulation may be

subject to the judgement of the Stewards. They alone shall decide on the

penalty to be imposed depending on the severity of the offence.

h) Notwithstanding Regulation f, should any Driver overshoot their assigned

zone in the Pits and stop beyond it, the Car may only regain access to its own

zone by being pushed, providing that it is safe to do so. A penalty for any

breach of this Regulation may be subject to the judgement of the Stewards.

They alone shall decide on the penalty to be imposed depending on the

severity of the offence.

B 15 ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS a) It is the sole responsibility of the Race Director / Clerk of the Course to

declare the Track wet and all Competitors will be informed of the decision as

quickly as possible. When the notification board is shown, Competitors are

free to choose their tyres within the limits of these Regulations, given that the

Track conditions are deemed to be wet. The Race Director / COC is not

obliged to suspend or stop the session for reasons of weather.

b) Races Between the moment when the Cars leave the Pit Lane or

Assembly Area until the moment when the red lights go out as part of the

start procedure, the use of Wet Weather tyres is only permitted if the Race

Director / COC declares the Track to be wet by using the notification board

that will be shown to all Competitors at the Assembly Area or the Pit Lane Exit

(before the start procedure commences) or from the Finish Line (whilst the

Cars are on the Grid).

It is the sole responsibility of the Race Director / Clerk of the Course to declare

the Track wet and all Competitors will be informed of the decision as quickly

as possible.

When the notification board is shown, Competitors are free to choose their

tyres within the limits of these Regulations, given that the Track conditions are

deemed to be wet.

After the red lights have gone out to signal the start of the Race, Competitors

are free to choose Slick tyres or Wet Weather tyres within the limits of these

Regulations at any time without waiting for the Race Director / COC to show

the notification board.

The Race Director / COC will only suspend the race for reasons of weather in

exceptional circumstances.

c) The Car’s rear light must be illuminated at all times when the Track has

been declared wet or Wet Weather tyres have been fitted. The Scrutineers


2017


18

may check the rear light before the Car leaves the Assembly Area and/or the

Pit Lane and/or on the Grid and if it has failed they may request that the

Race Director / Clerk of the Course deny permission for the Car to take part in

the Session/Race until such time as it is fixed. If the Car’s light fails during

Session/ Race, the Race Director / Clerk of the Course may require the Driver

in question to stop. If the faulty light is fixed, the Driver will be allowed to rejoin

the Session/Race.

B 16 QUALIFYING a) A Qualifying Session of between 15 to 30 minutes duration is scheduled at

this Meeting (the configuration of which will be confirmed in the Meeting

Bulletin). The Race Director / Clerk of the Course may interrupt a Qualifying

Session as often and for as long as he deems necessary to clear the Track or

to allow the recovery of a Car. Whenever possible, the time lost by the

suspension of a Qualifying Session shall be recovered so that the minimum

scheduled period for qualifying may be accomplished. However, it is not

obligatory to resume the session or re-run the session to achieve the time

criteria.

The decision of the Stewards in this matter shall be final. No protest can be

accepted as to the possible effects of the interrupted/shortened session on

the qualification of any Driver.

b) During a Qualifying Session, all competing Cars must remain in the Pit Lane

or the Parc Fermé area if not on the Track. Except with the express permission

of the Race Director / Clerk of the Course, no competing Car is allowed in

the Pit Garages or Paddock areas until such time as the Qualifying Session

has ended and the Car cleared from any post qualifying scrutineering

checks and released from Parc Fermé conditions.

c) A Red light/flag and a green light/flag will be placed at the Pit Exit during

a Qualifying Session. Cars may only leave the Pit Lane when the green light is

on.

Additionally, a flashing blue light or a waved blue flag may be shown at the

Pit Exit to warn Drivers leaving the Pit Lane if Cars are approaching on the

Track.

d) All laps completed during a Qualifying Session will be timed, except for

laps when the red flag and/or lights are shown. A Car will be considered to

have completed a lap every time it crosses the timing line, either on the Track

or through the Pit Lane. The lap times obtained after a red flag and/or lights

are shown will not be taken into account.

e) A Car may not be qualified by more than one Driver.

f) At the 5 minute signal prior to Pit Lane open, the Cars will be released in

order starting with the fastest cars in the previous session. Any car that is

unable to take up its position for whatever reason must join the order further

back.

g) No refuelling is allowed during the Practice and Qualifying.

B 17 GRID POSITIONS:

EURO JK 17

a) At each Meeting, the grid positions for the First Race will be drawn in the

order of the fastest time achieved by each Driver in the Qualifying Session.

b) The grid positions for the Second Race at each Meeting will be drawn in

the Finishing Order of the First Race.

c) The grid positions for the Third Race at each Meeting will be drawn in the

order of the Reverse Grid of top 6 finisher in Second Race. The 7th place

finisher onwards till the last placed finisher will start as per their finishing

order in Second Race.

d) The grid positions for the Fourth Race at each Meeting will be drawn in the

Finishing Order of the Third Race.

LGB FORMULA 4

a) At each Meeting, the grid positions for the First Race will be drawn in the

order of the fastest time achieved by each Driver in the Qualifying Session.

b) The grid positions for the Second Race at each Meeting will be drawn in

the order of the Reverse Grid of top 8 finisher in First Race. The 9th place

finisher onwards till the last placed finisher will start as per their finishing

order in First Race.

c) The grid positions for the Third Race at each Meeting will be drawn in the

Finishing Order of the Second Race.

Each Driver must complete a minimum of two timed laps in the Qualifying

Session in the Car to be raced in order to qualify for selection. If these criteria

are not achieved, authorisation to start the Race(s) may be denied by the

Stewards whose decision shall be final.

If a Driver has not completed at least two timed laps in qualifying, but did

participate in the Free Practice Session, the Stewards may allow them to start

the Race(s) from the back of the Grid. If two or more Drivers so qualify, the

Driver with the faster lap time from Free Practice will take priority.

If a Driver has not completed at least two timed laps in qualifying, and did

not participate in the Free Practice Session, in exceptional circumstances the

Stewards may allow them to start the Race(s) from the back of the Grid

behind any Competitors who have qualified under the terms of Regulation

B.19 above.

If it is not possible to hold a Qualifying Session at the this Meeting, the Grids for

both Races will be determined by separate ballot.

For the avoidance of doubt, if more than one Car must start from the back

of the grid due to penalties being imposed, the fastest time set by each of

those Drivers during the Qualifying Session will be used to determine their grid

positions (even if their times have subsequently been disallowed by the

Stewards), unless the Stewards determine to the contrary.


2017


20

The number of Cars allowed to start in each Race is limited to the maximum

that the relevant Track Licence permits. If the number of Cars taking part in

the Qualifying Session is greater than the number of Cars allowed to start the

Race, reserves will be nominated by the Stewards on the basis of qualifying

times.

The Grid for each Race will be published a minimum of one hour before the

Race, wherever possible. Any Competitor whose Car is unable to start for any

reason whatsoever must inform the Race Director / Clerk of the Course

accordingly at the earliest opportunity and, in any event, no later than 90

minutes before the start of the Race. If one or more Cars are withdrawn, the

Grid may be closed up accordingly and reserve Cars will be admitted (as

appropriate) to start from the back of the Grid at the discretion of the

Stewards.

Any Competitor whose Car withdraws from the Race without duly notifying

the Race Director / Clerk of the Course, unless in exceptional circumstances,

will be subject to a Fine of a minimum of INR 10000.

B 18 STOPPING A FREE PRACTICE SESSION OR A QUALIFYING SESSION

a) Should it become necessary to stop a Free Practice Session or a Qualifying

Session because the Track is blocked by an accident or because weather or

other conditions make it dangerous to continue, the Race Director / COC

shall order red flags to be shown at all Marshals’ posts and abort lights to be

shown at the Finish Line.

b) When the Red flags/lights are displayed, all Drivers must immediately

reduce speed being prepared to stop if necessary and proceed slowly back

to the Pit Lane. All abandoned Cars will be moved to a safe position. Any lap

time recorded after the red flags/lights have been displayed will not be taken

into account.

c) At the end of each Free Practice Session and Qualifying Session, each

Driver may only cross the Finish Line once. Any breach of this Regulation will

render the Driver liable to a Fine of a minimum of INR 2000.

B 19 START

a) The start of all Races will be by means of a Standing Start with the Grid

in a 1 x 1 staggered formation. Except in exceptional circumstances, the start

procedure shall be as shown in this Regulation B.21. Competitors will be

briefed if a variation in the start procedure is deemed necessary.

b) 15 minutes before the start of the Formation Lap the Cars will leave the

Pit Lane or Assembly Area and proceed directly to the Grid where they will

stop in starting order with their engines turned off. Reconnaissance Laps are

not permitted. When Cars are leaving from the Assembly Area the Pit Lane

Exit will be closed.


2017


21

c) Any Car in the Pit Lane when the Pit Lane is closed can start from the

end of the Pit Lane provided it got there under its own power. If more than

one Car is affected they must line up in the order in which they reached the

end of the Pit Lane. These Cars may then join the race after the last Car to

take the start has passed the Pit Exit on the first racing lap.

d) The approach of the start will be announced by signals showing ten

minutes, five minutes, three minutes, one minute and 15-seconds before the

start of the Formation Lap, each of which will be accompanied by an

audible warning. Prior to the start of the Formation Lap, Cars may be pushed

back within their designated starting box to a maximum of approximately

half of the length of the starting box.

When the “five-minute” signal is shown, all persons except for the

Drivers, Officials and Team technical personnel must leave the Grid.

When the “three-minute” signal is shown, all Cars must have their

wheels fitted.

Any Car which does not have all its wheels fully fitted at the “three-minute”

signal must start the Race from the back of the Grid or the Pit Lane. Under

these circumstances a Marshal holding a yellow flag will prevent the Car (or

Cars) from leaving the Grid until all Cars able to do so have left to start the

Formation Lap. All persons except for the Drivers, Officials and one team

member per Car must leave

the Grid.

When the “one-minute” signal is shown, engines must be started

immediately and all Team personnel, except the Drivers, must leave the Grid

before the “15-second” signal is given taking all equipment with them.

If any Driver needs assistance after the showing of the “15-second” signal

they must raise their arm and, when the remainder of the Cars able to do so

have left the Grid, Marshals will be instructed to push the Car into the Pit

Lane. In this case, Marshals with yellow flags will stand behind the Pit Wall

beside the Car concerned to warn Drivers behind.

When the green lights are illuminated, the Cars will begin the Formation

Lap with the pole position Driver leading. Marshals will be instructed to push

any Car (or Cars) that remain on the Grid into the Pit Lane by the fastest

route immediately after all Cars able to do so have left the Grid. Any driver

being pushed from the grid may not attempt to start the car and must follow

the instructions of the marshals.

Practice starts are forbidden during the Formation Lap and the formation

must be kept as tight as possible. Overtaking during the Formation Lap is only

permitted if a Car is delayed when leaving its Grid position, or if a Car suffers

mechanical failure during the Formation Lap, and Car(s) behind it cannot

avoid passing it without unduly delaying the remainder of the field. In this

case, Drivers may only overtake to re-establish the original starting order.


2017


22

Any driver delayed on the Grid at the start of the Formation Lap, and who is

unable to re-establish the original starting order before he reaches the first

safety car line (as defined during the drivers briefing), must enter the pit lane

and start from end of the pit lane as specified in Article B.21.

Any breach of this Regulation by a Competitor may be penalised by the

Stewards.

e) When the Cars return to the Grid at the end of the Formation Lap, they

must stop on their respective Grid positions (with their Car placed as per the

instructions given in the Briefing), keeping their engines running. Grid Marshals

will stand behind the Pit Wall, alongside each Grid position, with boards

showing the Grid position until the Car concerned is completely stopped.

Any Driver who stops their Car forward or off-centre of the position prescribed

by the lines on the Grid, shall be penalised at the discretion of the Stewards.

A Drive Through may be imposed on any Driver failing to stop at their proper

place on the Grid.

f) Once all the Cars have come to a halt 5 (five) seconds signal will be shown to indicate that the grid is complete and ready for the start. The Race will be deemed started by extinguishing all the red lights.

g) If the Starter decides that the start must be delayed (this may be as a

result of a Car developing a problem that could endanger the start, in which

case the Driver must immediately raise their hands above their head and the

Marshal responsible for that row must immediately wave a yellow flag, or for

another reason) the following procedures shall apply:

1) The green lights will be illuminated two-seconds after the abort lights are

switched on and a board saying “Extra Formation Lap” will be displayed. All

Cars that are able to do so must complete a further Formation Lap whilst the

Car(s) that caused the start to be delayed is pushed into the Pit Lane.

2) The Team may then attempt to rectify the problem and, if successful, the

Car may then start from the Pit Exit after the last car to take the start has

passed the Pit Exit on the first racing lap. Where one or more Car is

concerned, their starting order shall be determined based upon the order in

which they reach the Pit Exit under their own power.

3) The procedures at the end of an Extra Formation Lap will be the same as

at the end of a Formation Lap.

4) Every time this happens, the Race distance will be reduced by one lap

and the maximum Race duration may be reduced by three minutes.

h) Variations to the start procedure will only be permitted in the following

circumstances:-

1) If the Race has not been declared “WET” and it starts to rain after the Cars

have left the Pit Lane or Assembly Area but before the Race has started and,

in the opinion of the Race Director / Clerk of the Course, Competitors should

be given the opportunity to change tyres, the abort lights with “Start

Delayed” board will be shown on the Start Line. There will be a delay of five

minutes, in which Competitors may change tyres on the Grid, and then the


2017


23

normal start procedure will recommence from the “three-minute” signal. In

this case, the Stewards will determine the new Race distance and maximum

Race duration.

2) If the start of the Race is imminent and, in the opinion of the Race Director

/ Clerk of the Course, the volume of water on the Track is such that it cannot

be negotiated safely even on Wet Weather tyres, the abort lights with “Start

Delayed” board will be shown on the Start Line. Information about the likely

delay will be displayed on the timing monitors and broadcast on the team

radio system, wherever possible. Once the start time is known, a warning will

be issued at least five minutes before the start of the Formation Lap. In this

case, the Stewards will determine the new Race distance and maximum

Race duration.

3) If the Race is started behind the Safety Car, Regulation B 22 will apply.

Any Driver who makes a False Start will receive a penalty. The Judge of Fact

will determine a False Start in the first instance and report the decision to

Race Director / Clerk of the Course, who will in turn advise the Stewards.

The Stewards may decide to review this decision at their sole discretion and

may use all available video or electronic equipment to assist them in

reaching a decision. In such circumstances, the Stewards may overrule the

Judges of Fact.

Any decision taken by the Stewards in this regard is not subject to Protest or

Appeal.

In the case where a Driver does not receive a Drive Through Penalty for a

False Start during the race the Stewards will impose a 10 second time penalty

added to the Drivers race time.

i) No refuelling is allowed on Grid.

B 20 RACES a) During the Race, Drivers may only leave the Pit Lane when the light at the

Pit Exit is green. They rejoin the Track under their own responsibility. The

penalty for a breach of this Regulation will be disqualification of the Driver

from the Race.

b) Should any Car retire from the Race whilst in the Pit Lane, it must be

pushed to the Parc Fermé area by an authorised route.

c) Should, in the opinion of the Pit Lane Marshals, any Competitor, whether

they have been previously warned or not, position their equipment in such a

way that is considered to cause a danger, obstruction or interference with

the activities of another Competitor, a penalty will be imposed at the

discretion of the Stewards.

d) No refuelling is allowed during race.

B 21 SAFETY CAR

SAFETY CAR PROCEDURES

(APPENDIX H TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPORTING CODE)

2.9.1 On the decision of the Clerk of the Course, the safety car may be brought

into operation to:

- neutralise a race if competitors or officials are in immediate physical danger

but the circumstances are not such as to necessitate stopping the race;

- start a race in exceptional conditions (e.g. poor weather);

- pace a rolling start;

- resume a suspended race. 2.9.2 At circuits where safety car procedures are to be used, two continuous, 20

cm wide “Safety Car Lines” should be marked with non-skid paint, crossing

the track and the pit entry and exit roads from side to side, at right angles to

the track centreline, at the following places:

- Safety Car Line 1: at the point at which it is deemed reasonable to allow a

car entering the pits to overtake the safety car or another competing car

remaining on the track. It is also the point at which competing cars can pass

the safety car as it enters the pits at the end of the intervention.

- Safety Car Line 2: at the point at which cars leaving the pits are likely to be

travelling at a similar speed to competing cars on the track. A car on the

track may therefore overtake another leaving the pits before reaching this

line but no overtaking may take place after it.

- and in case of more than one safety car, an Intermediate safety car line:

the point at which competing cars can pass a safety car as it returns to its

intermediate position at the end of the intervention.

2.9.3 The safety car will be designed or adapted for high performance circuit

driving and with power adequate to maintain speeds at which the types of

cars competing in the competition can be driven without compromising their

race-worthiness. At certain competitions, the vehicle may be chosen to suit a

particular category , e.g. truck racing.

There will be at least two seats and two or four doors; rear visibility must be

good. A roll cage installed to Appendix J specifications is recommended, as

are FIA-approved seat harnesses.

The safety car must be marked “SAFETY CAR” in letters of appropriate

dimensions similar to those of the race numbers, on the rear and sides. It must

have at least one clearly visible yellow or orange light on the roof and a

green light showing to the rear, each powered by a different electrical circuit.

Lights fitted to the outside must be fixed to withstand the maximum speed

attainable in the vehicle.

It will be driven by an experienced circuit driver. It will carry an observer

capable of recognising all the competing cars, and who is in permanent

radio contact with race control. It is recommended that the occupants wear

FIA-approved helmets and FIA flameresistant clothing. These are obligatory in

FIA World Champonship competitions.


2017


25

2.9.4 There will be only one safety car in operation at a time, except for circuits of

over 7 km in length, where other safety cars, positioned at intermediate points

around the circuit, may be authorised by the FIA. If more than one safety car

is authorised, the following requirements will apply:

- the starting and withdrawal position of each safety car must be announced

to all the drivers;

- a green light must be situated past the withdrawal position to enable the

race neutralisation end point to be defined and signalled to the drivers.

2.9.5 No more than 30 minutes before the race start time, the safety car will take up

position at the front of the grid and remain there until the five-minute signal is

given. If the appropriate Championship or competition regulations authorise

a free practice session of 15 minutes, the safety car will take up its position at

the front of the grid as soon as the 15-minute practice session has finished.

2.9.6 When the five-minute signal is given (except under Article 2.9.18 below), the

safety car will take up its position.

2.9.7 If more than one safety car is used, one will proceed as in Articles 2.9.5 and

2.9.6; the other(s) will take up the intermediate position(s) no less than 15

minutes before the race start time.

NEUTRALISING THE RACE

2.9.8 When the order is given to deploy the safety car, all marshal posts will display

waved yellow flags and “SC” boards and the orange lights at the Line will be

illuminated, for the duration of the intervention.

2.9.9 The safety car will start from the pit lane with its orange lights illuminated and

will join the track regardless of where the race leader is.

2.9.10 All the competing cars must then form up in line behind the safety car no

more than five car lengths apart, and overtaking, with the following

exceptions, is forbidden until the cars reach the Line (or the next race

neutralisation end point) after the safety car has returned to the pits.

Overtaking will be permitted under the following circumstances:

- if a car is signalled to do so from the safety car;

- under Article 2.9.18; - any car entering the pits may pass another car or the

safety car after it has crossed the first safety car line, as defined under Article

2.9.2;

- any car leaving the pits may be overtaken by another car on the track

before it crosses the second safety car line, as defined under Article 2.9.2;

- when the safety car is returning to the pits or its intermediate position, it may

be overtaken by cars on the track once it has crossed the safety car line;

- any car stopping in its designated garage area whilst the safety car is using

the pit lane (see Article 2.9.14) may be overtaken;

- if any car slows with an obvious problem.

2.9.11 Any car being driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner deemed

potentially dangerous to other drivers at any time whilst the safety car is

deployed will be reported to the stewards. This will apply whether any such

car is being driven on the track, the pit entry or the pit lane.

2.9.12 When ordered to do so by the Clerk of the Course, the observer in the safety

car will use a green light to signal to any cars between it and the race leader

that they should pass. These cars will continue at reduced speed and without

overtaking until they reach the line of cars behind the safety car.


2017


26

The safety car may also have an electrically controlled rear panel which will

show the race leader’s number. When it is illuminated, cars up to but

excluding the race leader, whose number is displayed, will pass the safety

car.

2.9.13 The safety car shall be used at least until the car in the lead is behind it and all

remaining cars are lined up behind the leader (or, when there is more than

one safety car, all the cars in that safety car’s sector).

Once behind the safety car, the race leader (or leader of that sector) must

keep within 5 car lengths of it (except as under Article 2.9.15) and all

remaining cars must keep the formation as tight as possible.

2.9.14 While the safety car is in operation, competing cars may enter the pit lane,

but may only rejoin the track when the green light at the end of the pit lane is

on. It will be on at all times except when the safety car and the line of cars

following it are about to pass or are passing the pit exit. A car rejoining the

track must proceed at an appropriate speed until it reaches the end of the

line of cars behind the safety car.

Under certain circumstances, the Clerk of the Course may ask the safety car

to use the pit lane. In this case, and provided its orange lights remain

illuminated, all cars must follow it into the pit lane without overtaking. Any car

entering the pit lane under these circumstances may stop at its designated

garage area.

2.9.15 When the Clerk of the Course calls in the safety car, its orange lights will be

extinguished; this will be the signal that it will be entering 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, fall more than five car lengths behind it.

In order to avoid the likelihood of accidents before the safety car returns to

the pits, from the point at which the lights on the car are extinguished, drivers

must proceed at a pace which involves no erratic acceleration, braking, or

any other manoeuvre which is likely to endanger other drivers or impede the

restart.

As the safety car is approaching the pit entry, the yellow flags and SC boards

at the marshal posts will be withdrawn and replaced by waved green flags

with green lights at the Line and at the Intermediate race neutralisation end

point(s). These will be displayed until the last car crosses the Line.

In the case of more than one safety car, their withdrawal must be precisely

synchronised.

2.9.16 Each lap completed while the safety car is deployed will be counted as a

race lap.

2.9.17 If the safety car is still deployed at the beginning of the last lap, or is deployed

during the last lap, it will enter the pit lane at the end of the lap and the cars

will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking.

STARTING THE RACE BEHIND THE SAFETY CAR

2.9.18 In exceptional circumstances, the race may be started behind the safety car.

In this case, at any time before the one-minute signal, its orange lights will be

turned on. This is the signal to the drivers that the race will be started behind

the safety car. When the green lights are illuminated, the safety car will leave

the grid with all cars following in grid order no more than 5 car lengths apart.


2017


27

There will be no formation lap and the race will start when the green lights are

illuminated.

Overtaking, during the first lap only, is permitted if a car is delayed when

leaving its grid position and cars behind cannot avoid passing it without

unduly delaying the remainder of the field. In this case, drivers may only

overtake to re-establish the original starting order.

Soon after the last car in line behind the safety car passes the end of the pit

lane, the pit exit light will turn green; any car in the pit lane may then enter

the track and join the line of cars behind the safety car.

Any driver who is delayed leaving the grid may not overtake another moving

car if he was stationary after the remainder of the cars had crossed the Line,

and must form up at the back of the line of cars behind the safety car. If more

than one driver is affected, they must form up at the back of the field in the

order in which they left the grid.

A penalty will be imposed on any driver who, in the opinion of the Stewards,

unnecessarily overtook another car during the first lap.

2.9.19 A safety car may be used as the official car for a rolling start in conformity

with Article 8.3 of the Code; in this case, the Supplementary Regulations

governing the start will apply to it until it resumes its safety car function after

the start has been given.

RESUMING A SUSPENDED RACE

2.9.20 The safety car will be driven to the front of the line of cars behind the red flag

line.

The conditions for resuming the race will be as stipulated in the FIA General

Prescriptions or the specific regulations of the championship, series or

competition, but the following should apply:

- marshals will arrange the cars in the order indicated by race control;

- any cars between the red flag line and the leader will be waved off to

complete a further lap, without overtaking, and join the line of cars behind

the safety car;

- at least ten minutes’ warning will be given of the resumption time;

- signals will be shown at appropriate intervals before the resumption,

accompanied by audible warnings.

The race will be resumed behind the safety car according to the procedure

and conditions of Article 2.9.18.

All the Articles concerning the neutralisation of the race will apply.

The safety car will enter the pits after one lap unless all cars are not yet in a

line behind the safety car or race control considers that it is not safe to

resume the race.

B 22 SUSPENDING AND RESUMING A RACE a) Should it become necessary to suspend the Race because the Track is

blocked by an accident or because weather or other conditions make it

dangerous to continue, the Race Director / Clerk of the Course will order red

flags and/or lights to be shown at all Marshals posts and the abort lights to be

shown at the Start Line. This is the signal for all Drivers to stop driving at racing


2017


28

speeds and proceed slowly without overtaking and with maximum caution,

being prepared to stop if necessary.

The Pit Exit will be closed and all Cars must proceed to the grid where they

must stop in a line on the Pole Position side of the Track. Any Cars between

the Line and the leader, in addition to any lapped Cars between the Cars on

the lead lap, will then be moved into a line on the opposite side of the Grid.

They will then resume the race from this position.

If the Safety Car has been directed into the Pit Lane, Cars must stop in line in

the Fast Lane.

If the leader at the time of the red flag being displayed has completed more

than 75% of the scheduled number of race laps the race will not be resumed.

If the leader at the time of the red flag being displayed has not completed

more than 75% of the scheduled number of race the race may be resumed

in accordance with the following.

If any Cars are unable to return to the Grid as a result of the Track being

blocked, they will be brought back when the Track is cleared and will be

arranged in the order they occupied before the Race was suspended. The

order will be taken at the last point at which it was possible to determine the

position of all Cars. Any such Cars will then be permitted to resume the Race.

The Safety Car will then be driven to the front of the grid.

b) Whilst the race is suspended:

The race and the timekeeping system may not necessarily stop.

Cars may be worked on once they have stopped on the grid or entered.

the Pits but any such work must not impede the resumption of the Race.

Refuelling is forbidden.

Only Team members and Officials will be permitted on the Grid.

Drivers of Cars that enter the Pit Lane after the Race has been suspended

and before the resumption of the Race will be penalised with a Drive Through

Penalty once the Race has resumed.

However, if the Cars have been directed into the Pit Lane, a penalty will only

be imposed on any Driver whose Car is moved from the Fast Lane to any

other part of the Pit Lane. If the Race is not resumed, a Time Penalty of up to

a maximum of 60 seconds may be imposed at the discretion of the Stewards.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Car that was in the Pit Entry or Pit Lane when

the Race was suspended will not incur a penalty.

Any Car in the Pit Lane will be permitted to leave from the Pit Exit once the

Race has been resumed and all Cars behind the Safety Car have passed the

Pit Exit. Subject to the above, any Car intending to resume the Race from the

Pit Exit may do so in the order in which they got there under their own power.

At all times, Drivers must follow the directions of the Marshals.

Only Cars which took part in the original start may resume the Race and then

only if they returned to the grid under their own power by an authorised

route, without receiving outside mechanical assistance, and were still in the


2017


29

Race when the Race was suspended. The decision of the Stewards regarding

classification will be final.

c) Resuming a Race:

a. The delay will be kept as short as possible and as soon as a resumption

time is known Competitors will be informed, via the timing monitors wherever

possible.

When the “five-minute” signal is shown, all persons except for the Drivers,

Officials and Team technical personnel must leave the Grid.

When the “three-minute” signal is shown, all Cars must have their wheels

fitted. Any Car which does not have all its wheels fully fitted at the “three

minute” signal must restart the Race from the back of the Grid or the Pit

Lane. Under these circumstances a Marshal holding a yellow flag will

prevent the Car (or Cars) from leaving the Grid until all Cars able to do so

have crossed the Line. All persons except for the Drivers, Officials and one

team member per Car must leave the Grid immediately.

At some point after the “three-minute” signal, which will be dependent

upon the expected lap time, any Cars between the Line and the leader,

in addition to any lapped Cars between Cars on the lead lap, will be

waved off to complete a further lap, without overtaking, and join the line

of Cars behind the Safety Car.

When the “one-minute” signal is shown, engines must be started

immediately and all Team personnel, except the Drivers, must leave the

Grid before the “15-second” signal is given taking all equipment with

them. If any Driver needs assistance after the showing of the “15-second”

signal they must raise their arm and, when the remainder of the Cars able

to do so have crossed the Line, Marshals will be instructed to push the Car

into the Pit Lane. In this case, Marshals with yellow flags will stand behind

the Pit Wall beside the Car concerned to warn Drivers behind.

b. The Race will be resumed behind the Safety Car when the green lights are

illuminated. The Safety Car will enter the Pits after one lap unless all Cars are

not yet in a line behind the Safety Car, Team personnel are still clearing the

Grid, the race is being resumed in wet conditions and the Race Director COC

deems more than one lap necessary or a further incident occurs

necessitating another intervention.

When the green lights are illuminated, the Safety Car will leave the Grid with

all Cars following, in the order they were positioned behind the Line, no more

than ten car lengths apart. Soon after the last Car in line behind the Safety

Car passes the Pit Exit, the Pit Exit lights will be turned green and any Car in

the Pit Lane may then enter the Track and join the line of Cars behind the

Safety Car.

Overtaking during the lap is only permitted if a Car is delayed when leaving

the Line, or if a Car suffers an obvious problem during the lap, and Car(s)


2017


30

behind it cannot avoid passing it without unduly delaying the remainder of

the field. In this case, Drivers may only overtake to re-establish the starting

order at the resumption of the Race.

Any Driver who is delayed leaving the Line must not overtake any other

moving Car if they were still stationary after the remainder of the Cars had

crossed the Line, and must form up at the back of the line of Cars behind the

Safety Car. If more than one Driver is affected, they must line up at the back

of the field in the order they left the Line.

c. If the Race cannot be resumed for any reason, the results will be taken at

the end of the penultimate lap before the lap during which the signal to

suspend the Race was given.

B 23 POINTS The points for EURO JK 17, LGB Formula 4 & Rookie Drivers will be awarded

for each race as per following format and all race points will be count for the

a) If a race is suspended and cannot be resumed, no points will be awarded

if the leader has completed less than two laps and less than 75% of the

original race distance in laps. Full points will be awarded if leader has

completed 75% or more of the original race distance in laps.

The 75% of the original race distance will be calculated on the total laps of

the official race distance, without taking into account the additional final lap,

after the suspension of the race.

In case of several suspensions, the number of laps will be added, without

consider the additional final lap.

The Driver’s standing will be obtained by adding all the points scored by

each river during all the events, minus any points penalty received during all

Championship.

If two or more drivers finish the Championship with the same total points, the

highest place in the classification ( in either case) shall be awarded:

The holder of the greatest number of first places.


2017


31

If the number of first places is the same, the holder of the greater number of

second places.

If the number of second places is the same, the holder of the greater number

of third places and so on, until a winner emerges.

If this procedure fails to produce the Championship winner, the Title will be

assigned to whom of the drivers leading the Championship after last race has

had the best result on the Qualify of last event Race 1.

B 24 FINISH a) The end of Race signal (chequered flag) will be given at the Finish Line as

soon as the leading Car has completed the full race distance. If the Race

time reaches its maximum duration before the full distance has been

covered, the chequered flag will be given to the leading Car the first time it

crosses the Finish Line after this time has elapsed.

b) Should for any reason the chequered flag be given before the leading

Car completes the scheduled number of laps (or the maximum duration

whichever is relevant), the Race will be deemed to have finished when the

leading Car last crossed the Finish Line before the signal was given.

c) Should the chequered flag be delayed for any reason, the Race will be

deemed to have finished when it should have finished.

d) After receiving the chequered flag, all Cars must proceed on the Track

directly to Parc Fermé without stopping, without overtaking (unless clearly

necessary), without receiving any object whatsoever and without any

assistance (except that of the Marshals, if necessary). Any classified Car that

cannot reach Parc Fermé under its own power will be placed under the

exclusive control of the Marshals who will take the Car to Parc Fermé.

B 25 CLASSIFICATION a) Classification will be determined according to the FIA International

Sporting Code.

The winner will be the Driver who, on the completion of the Race and after

consideration of all penalties, has covered the prescribed distance in the

shortest time.

All Drivers who started will be classified if they have covered at least 75% of

the distance (rounded down to the nearest whole number of laps) covered

by the winner and have taken the end of race signal on the Track and not in

the Pit Lane.

b) The official classification will be published after each Race. It will be the

only valid result, subject to any amendments that may be made under these

Regulations or the FIA International Sporting Code.

If, however, for whatever reason, the official classification cannot be signed

as final by the Stewards before the conclusion of the Meeting, then the

Stewards will state in writing the decision that prevents the aforementioned

final classification from being published.
