director, if a driver or drivers involved in an incident shall be penalised.
b) If an incident is under investigation, a message informing all teams which driver or drivers are

the circuit without the consent of the stewards.
15.3 The stewards may impose any one of the penalties below on any driver involved in an Incident:

notified on the timing monitors the relevant driver may cross the Line on the track no more than
twice before entering the pit lane and, in the case of a penalty under Article 15.3(d), proceeding
to his garage where he shall remain for the period of the time penalty.

may not carry out the penalty after the safety car has been deployed. The number of times the
driver crosses the Line behind the safety car will be added to the maximum number of times he
may cross the Line on the track.
Whilst a car is stationary in the pit lane as a result of incurring a time penalty it may not be worked
on. However, if the engine stops it may be started after the time penalty period has elapsed.
c) When the time penalty period has elapsed the driver may re-join the race.

or instead of any other penalties available to them under the Code.
17.2 Any driver who receives three reprimands in the same Championship season will, upon the imposition

is imposed following an Incident during the last race of an Event the ten grid place penalty will be

9
 applied for the start of the driver’s first race at the next Event.
The ten grid place penalty will only be imposed if at least two of the reprimands were imposed for a
driving infringement.
18) CHANGES OF DRIVER
18.1 Any driver already nominated by one team, who then wishes to drive for another team entered in the
Championship, must first satisfy the Promoter that this is being done with the consent of the original
team. If there is no such consent the Promoter will decide, at its absolute discretion, whether such a
change may be made.
18.2 Before the end of initial scrutineering each competitors must specify which of his drivers will be driving
which cars. After this point no changes may be made to the original allocation.
19) DRIVING
19.1 The driver must drive the car alone and unaided.
19.2 The driver is not permitted to participate in any additional practice, qualifying or race within the Event,
except when authorised by the stewards. For the avoidance of doubt, drivers and teams that
participate in multiple racing series during the same race weekend at the same venue will be allowed
to participate in all sessions that are scheduled for the races he or she participates in and is registered
for. Drivers must inform the Promoter if they intend to enter in other racing series and get
authorization by the stewards.
19.3 Drivers must make every reasonable effort to use the track at all times and may not deliberately leave
the track without a justifiable reason. 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.
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 the driver may re-join, however, this may only be done when it is safe to
do so and without gaining any advantage.
A driver may not deliberately leave the track without justifiable reason.
19.4 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 his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner.
19.5 Any driver defending his position on a straight, and before any braking area, may use the full width of
the track during his first move, provided no significant portion of the car attempting to pass is
alongside his car. Whilst defending in this way the driver may not leave the track without justifiable
reason.
For the avoidance of doubt, if any part of the front wing of the car attempting to pass is alongside the
rear wheel of the car in front this will be deemed to be a ‘significant portion’.
19.6 Manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such as deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of
the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are not permitted.
19.7 As soon as a car is caught by another car which is about to lap it during the race the driver must allow
the faster driver past at the first available opportunity. If the driver who has been caught does not
allow the faster driver pass, waved blue flags will be shown to indicate that he must allow the following
driver to overtake.
20) CAR AND DRIVER’S EQUIPMENT LIVERY
20.1 Each car must carry the race number of its driver as published by the Organizer. The number panel, if
supplied, may not be modified without approval of the Organizer and must be placed on the nose of
the car and on each rear wing end plate which must be left clear of other identification (unless
specifically provided by ACISPORT).

10
20.2 Every competitor must display the name of the driver and his national flag on the bodywork, on the
outside of the cockpit in the prescribed location and or on the driver’s helmet. These must be clearly
legible.
20.3 Each car and each driver’s overall must be fitted according to the Annexe 2.
21) TRACK TESTING

the Championship (including any intending to enter for the complete season), may only carry out track
testing with a Formula Regional car in accordance with Articles 21.2 and 21.3 below. Any testing which
is deemed to be an attempt to subvert the intention of the regulations below, such as (but not limited
to), testing with a previous generation car, will be reported to the stewards and penalized until the
exclusion of the Championship.
21.2 ACISPORT and the Promoter will organise four official one-day collective tests, the cost of organising
each of these will be shared equally among the teams participating in the relevant session.
Participation in this testing will be mandatory. In the event of non-participation, the fee will be
mandatory both for participants to the entire championship and participants to the single event.
During each of these test days all cars must comply with the Formula Regional European
Championship Technical Regulations and, where practicable, competitors must respect the
requirements of the Formula Regional European Championship Sporting Regulations and the Code.
21.3 In addition to the above, private tests using Formula Regional cars are limited to the:
a) Each entered driver may carry out up to ten private one-day tests.
b) Private tests is forbidden from Monday of the week of the event except for the collective tests
organized by ACISPORT or Promoter.
c) In all cases the Promoter must be informed of any such test at least seven days in advance, details
must include the name of the driver and the intended venue.
21.4 For the drivers intending to enter after the start of the Championship, the Team and the driver, under
their own responsibility, must provide a written statement with the number of the private test days
carried out after the date of March 18. Based on the number of private test days, it will be ACISPORT
along with the Promoter to decide whether to accept the entry or not.
In the event of untrue statement, both the Team and the driver will be reported to the stewards and
penalized until the exclusion of the Championship.
22) PIT ENTRY, PIT LANE AND PIT EXIT
22.1 The section of track between the first safety car line and the beginning of the pit lane will be designated
the “pit entry”.
22.2 The section of track between the end of the pit lane and the second safety car line will be designated
the “pit exit”.
22.3 Leaving the pit lane and re-joining the track must be done without endangering or hindering other
participants. It is strictly forbidden to cross the white line at the pit exit with any part of a car when
leaving the pits.
Any driver crossing the white line at the pit exit during practice will be reported to the stewards , during
the race, a penalty under Article 15.3(a) will apply
22.4 The pit lane will be divided into two lanes, the lane closest to the pit wall will be designated the “fast
lane” and the lane closest to the garages will be designated the “inner lane”.
Other than when cars are at the end of the pit lane under Articles 36.2 and 39.5, the inner lane is the
only area where any work can be carried out on a car. However, no work may be carried out in the fast
lane if it is likely to hinder other cars attempting to leave the pit lane.
22.5 Unless a car is pushed from the grid at any time during the start procedure, cars may only be driven
from the teams designated garage area to the end of the pit lane.

11
 Any car(s) driven to the end of the pit lane prior to the start or re-start of a practice session, or any
car(s) required to stop at the pit exit during a safety car period, must form up in a line in the fast lane
and leave in the order they got there unless another car is unduly delayed.
22.6 Any driver that is required to start the race from the pit lane may not drive his car from his teams
designated garage area until the five minute signal has been given and must stop in a line in the fast
lane. Under these circumstances working in the fast lane will be permitted, but any such work is
restricted to :
a) Starting the engine and any directly related preparation.
b) The fitting or removal of permitted cooling and heating devices.

c) Changes made for driver comfort.

d) Changing of wheels if there is a change of climatic conditions or a puncture.

marshals.
22.7 Other than drying, sweeping or any tyre rubber left when cars leave their pit stop position, competitors
may not attempt to enhance the grip of the surface in the pit lane unless a problem has been clearly
identified and a solution agreed to by the race director.

Competitors may transport wet-weather tyres from one Event to another provided they were allocated
to them by the appointed supplier at a previous Event of the Championship.
24.2 Any modification or treatment including cutting, grooving, the application of water, solvents or
softeners, the use of heat retaining (and/or cooling) devices or pre-heating/cooling is prohibited. This
applies to both wet-weather and dry-weather tyres.
In order to ensure that tyres have not been treated or modified samples may be taken from the tyre
tread for analysis and comparison with a tyre taken directly from the supplier’s stock. The sampling
procedures will follow those for fuel sampling, see Article 29.7 for details.
24.3 A set is considered to be compromised of two front and two rear tyres.
Each driver may use per event no more than:
a) One set of used and one set of new dry-weather and wet-weather tyres for the two free practice
sessions. In this context a tyre will be considered used if it was allocated to the same car at a
previous Event, whether or not it was used on the track. At the first Event of the Championship or
at the first Event for an additional car, each car will be allocated two sets of new dry-weather tyres
to use in the two free practice sessions.
b) Two sets of new dry-weather and wet-weather tyres for the qualifying practice sessions and the
races.
In case of exceptional circumstances (e.g. multiple sessions on a drying track) the Stewards of the
meeting may decide to allow additional wet weather tyres for safety purposes.

24.4 With the exception of the races, wet-weather tyres may only be used after the track has been declared
wet by the race director, following which wet or dry weather tyres may be used for the remainder of
the relevant session.
24.5 A competitor wishing to replace an already marked unused tyre by another identical unused one must
present both tyres to the chief scrutineer.
In case of a tyre damaged by an on track accident, the technical delegate/chief scrutineer may present
a dossier to the Panel of Stewards, who may approve the replacement of the damaged tyre with a free
practice tyre.
24.6 If an approved bar coding is not used on the outer sidewall of each tyre or, at the request of the
competitor on both sidewalls, the scrutineers will paint the race number of the driver as well as a letter
characterising the Event.
24.7 The use of tyres without appropriate identification may result in a grid position penalty or
disqualification from the race.
24.8 Tyres may only be inflated with air or nitrogen.
24.9 All tyres, when under the control of a team, must remain visible within the team’s designated garage
area at all times.
At his absolute discretion, the chief scrutineer will enforce parc fermé conditions on tyres at any time.

14
24.10 The scrutineers appointed for marking will supervise tyre changes in the pits.
24.11 If approved by the tyre supplier tyres may be used on either side of the car at any time. Once a tyre is
mounted on a rim it may not be removed and turned around.
24.12 Collective Tests, each driver may use for each test day no more than:
- test day, 4 hours: three sets of new dry-weather tyres or two sets of new dry-weather tyres plus
one used allocated in the previous event if the driver has already competed in an event before
(whether race or collective test).
- test day, 8 hours: four sets of new dry-weather tyres or three sets of new dry-weather tyres plus
two used allocated in the previous event if the driver has already competed in an event before
(whether race or collective test).

25) MINIMUM CAR WEIGHT AND WEIGHING
25.1 The weight of the car with the driver aboard wearing his complete racing apparel must not be less than
665 KG 672 KG at all times during an Event or Official Test.
The final value will be established after all drivers and cars have been weighed during the first Official
test. The value will be approved by the organiser and published before the first Event.
25.2
a) During each qualifying practice session cars will be weighed as follows:

i. In the pit lane the organiser will provide an appropriate surface, this area will be used for
the weighing procedure. After qualifying practice the weight of the cars may also be
checked during parc fermé.
ii. Cars will be selected at random to undergo the weighing procedure. The chief scrutineer
will inform the driver that his car has been selected for weighing.
iii. Having been signalled that his car has been selected for weighing, the driver will proceed
directly to the weighing area and stop his engine.
iv. The car will then be weighed and the result given to the driver.
v. If the car is unable to reach the weighing area under its own power, the chief scrutineer will
advise the team to take the car to be weighed or the car will be placed under the exclusive
control of the marshals who will take the car to be weighed.
vi. A car or driver may not leave the weighing area without the consent of the chief scrutineer.
vii. If a car stops on the circuit and the driver leaves the car, he must contact the scrutineers
immediately on his return in order for his weight to be established.
b) After the race each car crossing the Line may be weighed.
If a driver wishes to leave his car before it is weighed he must ask the chief scrutineer to weigh
him in order that this weight may be added to that of the car. The chief scrutineer will then tell
the driver his weight and, once the driver leaves parc fermé, this will be deemed implicit
acceptance of the figure.
c) The relevant car may be disqualified should it’s weight be less than that specified in Article 25.1
of the present Regulations when weighed under a) or b) above, save where the deficiency in
weight results from the accidental loss of a component of the car.
d) No solid, liquid, gas or other substance or matter of whatsoever nature may be added to, placed

15
 on, or removed from a car after it has been selected for weighing or has finished the post-race
scrutineering or during the weighing procedure. (Except by a scrutineer when acting in his official
capacity).
e) Only scrutineers and officials may enter the weighing area. No intervention of any kind is allowed
there unless authorized by such officials.
25.3 In the event of any breach of these provisions for the weighing of cars the stewards may drop the
driver such number of grid positions as they consider appropriate or exclude him from the race.

31.1 Save where these Sporting Regulations require otherwise, pit lane and track discipline and safety
measures will be the same for all practice sessions as for the race.
31.2 No driver may start in the race without taking part in at least one practice session.
31.3 During all practices there will be a green and a red light at the end of the pit lane. Cars may only leave
the pit lane when the green light is on. Additionally, a blue flag and/or a flashing blue light will be
shown in the pit exit to warn drivers leaving the pit lane if cars are approaching on the track.
31.4 The interval between the second free practice session and the qualifying session, in addition to the
interval between the qualifying session and the first race, may not be less than two hours and a half.
The interval between races may not be less than two hours and a half.

22
31.5 In the event of a driving infringement during any practice session the stewards may delete a driver’s
lap time(s), drop the driver such number of grid positions as they consider appropriate or request the
driver to start the following race from the pit lane. Unless it is completely clear that a driver committed
a driving infringement any such incident will normally be investigated after the relevant session.
Where appropriate, regard will also be given to the provisions of Article 15 and 17.1.
31.6 Any driver taking part in any practice session who, in the opinion of the stewards, stops unnecessarily
on the circuit or unnecessarily impedes another driver shall be subject to the penalties referred to in
Article 31.5.
31.7 Should it become necessary to stop any practice session because the circuit is blocked by an accident
or because weather or other conditions make it dangerous to continue, the Race Director will order
red flags to be shown at all marshal posts and the abort lights to be shown at the Line.
When the signal is given to stop, all cars shall immediately reduce speed and proceed slowly back to
the pit lane, and all cars abandoned on the track will be removed to a safe place.
At the end of each practice session no driver may cross the Line more than once.
31.8 The clerk of the course may interrupt practice as often and for as long as he thinks necessary to
clear the track or to allow the recovery of a car. However, only during qualifying practice will the
session be extended as a result.
Should one or more sessions be thus interrupted, no protest can be accepted as to the possible effects
of the interruption on the qualification of drivers admitted to start.
32) FREE PRACTICE SESSIONS
32.1 Two free practice sessions of 40 minutes duration will take place on the first day of the Event. If the
procedure set out in Article 33.2 below is used, free practice sessions may also be split using the same
principles.
33) QUALIFYING PRACTICE SESSIONS
33.1 Option 1: Two qualifying practice sessions of at least 15 minutes with a 10 minutes interval will take
place on the first or second day of the Event.
Option 2: Two qualifying practice sessions of at least 15 minutes, the first session will take place on
the first day of the Event and the second session on the second day of the Event.
33.2 If the number of cars entered for an Event exceeds the number of cars which are permitted to take
part in practice (according to the requirements of the circuit licence), the cars may be split into two
groups.
33.3 No driver may start the race without taking part in at least one practice session.
34) THE GRID
34.1 At the end of the qualifying practice the fastest time achieved by each driver will be officially published.
34.2 Should two or more drivers have identical times, priority will be given to the one who set it first.
34.3 Grids will be published at least one hour before the start of the relevant formation lap.
Any driver who is unable to start for any reason whatsoever must inform the stewards at the earliest
opportunity and in any case, no later than one hour and fifteen minutes before the start of the
formation lap.
If one or more cars are withdrawn, the starting grid will be closed up accordingly and the final starting
grid confirmed 30 minutes before the start of the formation lap. Should two or more drivers have
identical times, priority will be given to the one who set it first.

23
34.4 The fastest driver will start the race from pole position on the grid.
34.5 Any driver whose best qualifying lap exceeds 110% of the pole position time will not be allowed to take
part in the race. Under exceptional circumstances however, which may include setting a suitable lap
time in a previous free practice session, upon request the stewards may permit the car to start the
race.
Any driver accepted in this manner will be placed at the back of the starting grid after any other
penalties have been applied.
Should there be more than one driver accepted in this manner they will be arranged on the grid in the
order in which they were classified in free practice.
34.6 The grid will be in a staggered 1 x 1 formation and the rows on the grid will be separated by 8 metres.
34.7 The grid for Race 1 will be drawn up in the order of the fastest time achieved by each driver during the
first qualifying session.
The grid for Race 2 will be drawn up in the order of the fastest time achieved by each driver during the
second qualifying session.
The grid for Race 3 will be drawn up in the order of the second fastest time achieved by each driver in
any of the two qualifying sessions
35) MEETINGS
35.1 A meeting chaired by the race director will take place before the first practice session at a time and
location to be advised, all drivers entered for the Event and their team managers must be present.
36) STARTING PROCEDURE
36.1 The starting procedure will be operated according to provisions set in current Sector Regulations
Speed Circuit – Standing Start.
36.2 Any false starts shall be sanctioned the Drive-Through.
A specific memorandum will be sent to communicate the names of the Officials in charge of the
starts.
Should the track unexpectedly become unusable during the starting procedure, then a “start
delayed” board shall be displayed at the starting line, and the Competitors shall be notified of such
the delay.
As soon as good track conditions are restored, the starting procedure shall be resumed and the, “5
minutes" board will be displayed.
Competitors and Drivers shall be kept well informed of any change or update to the programme.
The standing start will be given by means of lights .
Engines should be started only with the starter.
The Driver may not, under any circumstances, push or have his car pushed to start it.
If necessary an external starting device can be used.
36.3 The operations immediately preceding the start will take place as follows:
15’ (fifteen minutes) before the announced departure, the cars will leave the pit area.
Will be allowed, in the interval between the opening of the pit lane and its closure, make two laps
of the circuit, with the flow in the pit lane and the ignition time limits of the green light.
At the end of the laps line up their cars on the grid in their place and shall turn off the engine; from

24
 this time until the exposure of the 5 'panel you can work on the car;
10’ (ten minutes) before the start time is announced, the pit exit will be closed; any car still in the
pit area will be allowed to start only after the whole group has passed the pit lane end exit while
doing the first lap;
the closure of the pit exit will be signalled by means of a sound 2' warning signal; the start will be
announced by the following signs accompanied by a sound signal:
5’ panel: the countdown begins; when this panel is shown, access to the grid is closed; any car not
on its position on the grid must start from the back of the grid; from this time operations on the car
are no longer allowed;
3’ panel: everybody except drivers, officials and team staff in charge of the external starting device
must leave the grid.
1’ panel: engines are started with the starter on board. If necessary, an external starting device is
allowed; total clearing out of grid.
30’’ panel: after this panel is shown, a green flag will be waved before the grid to indicate that the
cars must move on to complete a full lap of the circuit, keeping their positions behind the pole
position driver leading.
36.4 During this lap overtaking is forbidden. Any driver who is unable to start his car must immediately
raise his arm; as soon as the other cars have left the grid, the car will be pushed into the pit lane by
the mechanics, under the supervision of the Race Officials.
If the Driver is able to restart the car whilst being pushed he may rejoin the formation lap. Should
he be able to catch the remainder of the cars, he will stay in the back without overtaking any car.
Then he will take the last place on the grid at the end of the formation lap.
If after the green flag a Driver is delayed while leaving his position on the start grid, he can resume
his pre-start position on the grid if he is not passed by all the other cars which had started on the
formation lap.
If he’s passed by all the other cars started on the formation lap, this Driver must start the race from
the back of the grid.
If the car fails to start and the mechanics and/or officials cannot push it, a recovery vehicle will have
bring it back to the pits. Once repaired, the car may restart from the pit lane after the race has
begun.
Once the formation lap is over, cars will stop with engines running at the starting grid original
positions.
If the Driver is unable to start, he must raise his arm at once and the Starting Row Official will
immediately wave a yellow flag; and the Clerk of the Course may decide to delay the start of the
race: the NO-START yellow lights will be on and the EXTRA FORMATION LAP panel will be displayed.
Drivers will be shown a green flag and will start another formation lap. As soon as the other cars
have left the grid, mechanics must then push the car to the pits under the supervision of the Race
Officials.
If an extra formation lap is used, the race will be shortened by 2 minutes.
A Starting Official will be lined near each row of the grid, he’ll first raise a numbered panel and will
then lower it when all the cars by his row have stopped; when all the cars will be rightly in their

25
 positions on the grid, an Official will wave a green flag.
36.5 When all the cars have stopped, the five-second traffic light will be on, followed by the four-second
traffic light and so on until the last traffic light comes on for a second.
At any time, after switching on the fifth traffic light, the race will be started by switching off all five
the traffic lights at the same time.
36.6 Any false start or conduct that does not comply with the will be signalled by the Start Officials, whose
decisions are final.
The names of the aforementioned officials (one per row) will be made known in a specific bulletin.
Any false start or conduct that does not comply with the regulations will be signalled by the Start
Officials and penalised with a Drive Through.
If a car is not able to start it will be pushed to the pits or to another appointed area under the
supervision of the Race Officials until all the other cars have started.
If during this time the car starts, the driver may normally restart the race: this procedure is allowed
after the start of the race (red lights off).
Any false start will be sanctioned with a Drive Through.
36.1 At least ten minutes before the start of the formation lap the pit exit will be opened and cars will be
permitted to leave the pit lane to cover at least one reconnaissance lap. At the end of this lap they will
stop on the grid in starting order with their engines stopped.
Should they wish to cover more than one reconnaissance lap, this must be done by driving down the
pit lane at greatly reduced speed between each of the laps. This information will be advised during
Drivers’ Briefings at every event.
Any car which does not complete a reconnaissance lap and is unable to reach the grid under its own
power will not be permitted to start the race from the grid.
36.2 At least Seven minutes before the start of the formation lap, a warning signal will be given indicating
that the end of the pit lane will be closed in two minutes.
At least Five minutes before the start of the formation lap the end of the pit lane will be closed and a
second warning signal will be given. Any car which is still in the pit lane 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 qualified. However, any car reaching the end of the pit lane after the five
minute signal must start behind any car already at the pit exit.
All such cars may then join the race once the whole field has passed the end of the pit lane for the first
time after the start.
36.3 The approach of the start will be announced by signals shown ten minutes, five minutes, three minutes,
one minute and fifteen seconds before the start of the formation lap, each of which will be
accompanied by an audible warning.
When the five minute signal is shown, all cars must have their wheels fully fitted. After this signal
wheels may only be removed in the pit lane. A penalty under Article 15.3(c) will be imposed on any
driver whose car did not have all its wheels fully fitted at the five minute signal. Any tyre trolleys and
equipment must be removed from the grid at this time.
36.4 When the three minute signal is shown all cars on the grid must be resting on their wheels. Everybody
except drivers, officials and one team member must leave the grid. A drive-through penalty will be
imposed on any driver whose car was not resting on its wheels at the three minute signal.
36.5 When the one minute signal is shown, engines should be started and all team personnel must leave

26
 the grid by the time the 15 second signal is given taking all equipment with them. If any driver needs
assistance after the 15 second signal he must raise his 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 by the shortest
route possible. In this case, marshals will wave yellow flags will stand beside any car (or cars) concerned
to warn drivers behind.
If any team personnel or team equipment remain on the grid after the 15 second signal has been
shown a drive-through penalty will be imposed on the driver concerned.
36.6 When the green lights are illuminated, the cars will begin the formation lap with the pole position
driver leading.
When leaving the grid all drivers must respect the pit lane speed limit until they pass pole position.
Marshals will be instructed to push any car (or cars) which remain on the grid into the pit lane by the
fastest route immediately after 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.
36.7 During the formation lap practice starts are forbidden and the formation must be kept as tight as
possible.
36.8 Overtaking during the formation lap is only permitted if a car is delayed 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. Any driver delayed in this way, and who is unable to re-
establish the original starting order before he reaches the first safety car line, must enter the pit lane
and start from the end of the pit lane as specified in Article 36.2.
A penalty under Article 15.3(b) will be imposed on any driver who fails to enter the pit lane if he has
not re-established the original starting order before he reaches the first safety car line.
36.9 When the cars come back to the grid at the end of the formation lap, they will stop on their respective
grid positions, keeping their engines running. The driver alone will be responsible for stopping in the
correct grid position.
There will be a standing start, the signal being given by means of lights activated by the Race Director.
Once all the cars have come to a halt the five second light will appear followed by the four, three, two
and one second lights. At any time after the one-second light appears, the race will be started by
extinguishing all red lights.
36.10 Unless specifically authorised by the race director, during the start of a race the pit wall must be kept
free of all persons with the exception of officials and fire marshals.
36.11 If, after returning to the starting grid at the end of the formation lap a problem arises, the following
procedures shall apply :
a) If a car develops a problem that could endanger the start the driver must immediately raise his
hands above his head and the marshal responsible for that row must immediately wave a yellow
flag. If the race director decides the start should be aborted the green lights will be illuminated
two seconds after the abort lights are switched on, a board stating “EXTRA FORMATION LAP” will
be displayed and all cars able to do so must complete a further formation lap whilst the car which
developed the problem is moved into the pit lane.
When leaving the grid to complete the extra formation lap all drivers must respect the pit lane
speed limit until they pass pole position.
The team may then attempt to rectify the problem and, if successful, the car may then start from
the end of the pit lane. Should there be more than one car involved their starting order will be
determined by the order in which they reached the end of the pit lane.
Every time this happens the race will be shortened by 2 3 minutes.
b) If another problem arises which does not require the start to be delayed (see c) below), drivers

27
 will be asked to carry out an extra formation lap as set out in a) above. Any driver who caused the
start to be aborted, and is then able to start the extra formation lap must enter the pit lane at the
end of the lap and start the race as specified in Article 36.2. A penalty under Article 15.3(d) will be
imposed on any driver who fails to start the race from the pit lane.
c) If any other problem arises, and if the race director decides the start should be delayed, the
following procedures shall apply :
i. If the race has not been started, the abort lights will be switched on, a board stating
“DELAYED START” will be displayed, all engines will be stopped and the new formation lap
will start five minutes later. The next signal will be the three minute signal.
Tyre changing on the grid is not permitted during such a delay.

Every time this happens the race will be shortened by 2 3 minutes.

ii. If the race has been started the marshals alongside the grid will wave their yellow flags to
inform the drivers that a car is stationary on the grid.
iii. If, after the start, a car is immobilised on the starting grid, it shall be the duty of the marshals
to push it into the pit lane by the fastest route. Any driver being pushed from the grid may
not attempt to start the car.
iv. Once the car is in the pit lane his mechanics may attempt to start it, if successful the driver
may re-join the race. The driver and mechanics must follow the instructions of the track
marshals at all times during such a procedure.
36.12 Should Article 36.11 apply, the race will nevertheless count for the Championship no matter how often
the procedure is repeated, or how much the race is shortened as a result.

36.13 Either of the penalties under Articles 15.3 (a), (b), (c) or (d) will be imposed for a false start.

36.14 Only in the following cases will any variation in the start procedure be allowed :
a) If it starts to rain after the five minute signal but before the race is started and, in the opinion of
the race director teams should be given the opportunity to change tyres, the abort lights will be
shown on the Line and the starting procedure will begin again at the ten minute point.
b) If the start of the race is imminent and, in the opinion of the race director, the volume of water
on the track is such that it cannot be negotiated safely even on wet-weather tyres, the abort
lights will be shown on the Line and information concerning the likely delay will be displayed on
the timing monitors. Once the start time is known at least ten minutes warning will be given.
c) If the race is started behind the safety car, Article 38.15 will apply.
36.15 The stewards may use any video or electronic means to assist them in reaching a decision. The
stewards may overrule judges of fact. A breach of the provisions of the Code or these Sporting
Regulations relating to the starting procedure, may result in the disqualification of the car and driver
concerned from the Event.
37) THE RACES
37.1 During a race, drivers leaving the pit lane may only do so when the light at the end of the pit lane is
green and on their own responsibility. A marshal with a blue flag and/or a flashing blue light, will also
warn the driver if cars are approaching on the track.
38) SAFETY CAR
38.1 The safety car will be driven by an ASN approved driver and will carry an approved observer capable
of recognising all the competing cars who is in permanent radio contact with race control.
38.2 Twenty minutes before the start of the formation lap the safety car will take up position at the front

28
 of the grid and remain there until the five minute signal is given. At this point (except under Article
38.15 below) it will cover a whole lap of the circuit and take up position.
38.3 The safety car may be brought into operation to neutralise a race upon the order of the Race Director.
It will be used only if competitors or officials are in immediate physical danger but the circumstances
are not such as to necessitate suspending the race.
38.4 When the order is given to deploy the safety car the message "SAFETY CAR DEPLOYED" will, where
possible, be displayed on the timing monitors and all marshal's posts will display waved yellow flags
and "SC" boards for the duration of the intervention.
38.5 No car may be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed
potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person at any time whilst the safety car is deployed.
This will apply whether any such car is being driven on the track, the pit entry or the pit lane.
38.6 The safety car will join the track with its orange lights illuminated and will do so regardless of where
the race leader is.
38.7 All competing cars must reduce speed and form up in line behind the safety car no more than ten car
lengths apart.
38.8 With the exception of the cases listed under a) to h) below, no driver may overtake another car on the
track, including the safety car, until he passes the first safety car line for the first time when the safety
car is returning to the pits. However, if the safety car is still deployed at the beginning of the last lap,
or is deployed during the last lap, Article 38.14 will apply.
The exceptions are :
a) If a driver is signalled to do so from the safety car.
b) Under Articles 38.12 or 38.15 below.
c) When entering the pits a driver may pass another car remaining on the track, including the safety
car, after he has reached the first safety car line.
d) When leaving the pits a driver may overtake, or be overtaken by, another car on the track before
he reaches the second safety car line.
e) When the safety car is returning to the pits it may be overtaken by cars on the track once it has
reached the first safety car line.
f) Whilst in the pit entry, pit lane or pit exit a driver may overtake another car which is also in one
of these three areas.
g) Any car stopping in its designated garage area whilst the safety car is using the pit lane (see
Article 38.11 below) may be overtaken.
h) If any car slows with an obvious problem.
38.9 When ordered to do so by the clerk of the course the observer in the 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.
38.10 The safety car shall be used at least until the leader is behind it and all remaining cars are lined up
behind him.
Once behind the safety car, the race leader must keep within ten car lengths of it (except under Article
38.12 below).
38.11 Under certain circumstances the Race Director may ask the safety car to use the pit lane. In these cases,
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.

29
38.12 When the Race Director decides it is safe to call in the safety car the message "SAFETY CAR IN THIS
LAP" will, where possible, be displayed on the timing monitors and the car's orange lights will be
extinguished This will be the signal to the teams and drivers 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 ten 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 turned out drivers must proceed at a pace which involves no erratic
acceleration or braking nor 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 will be withdrawn and,
other than on the last lap of the race, replaced by waved green flags with green lights at the Line. These
will be displayed until the last car crosses the Line.
38.13 Each lap completed while the safety car is deployed will be counted as a race lap.
38.14 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.
38.15 Under certain circumstances the race may be started behind the safety car or resumed in accordance
with Article 40.5(a). In either case, between the ten and five minute signal its orange lights will be
illuminated, this being the signal to the drivers that the race will be started (or resumed) behind the
safety car.
When the green lights are illuminated the safety car will leave the grid and all drivers must follow in
grid order, no more than ten car lengths apart, and must respect the pit lane speed limit until they
pass pole position. During a race start there will be no formation lap and race will start when the green
lights are illuminated.
Overtaking is only permitted if :
a) A car is delayed when leaving the grid and cars behind cannot avoid passing it without unduly
delaying the remainder of the field, or
b) There is more than one car starting from the pit lane and one of them is unduly delayed.
In either case drivers may only overtake to re-establish the original starting order or the order the cars
at the pit exit were in when the race was started.
Any driver delayed in either way, and who is unable to re-establish the original starting order before
he reaches the first safety car line, must enter the pit lane and may only join the race once the whole
field has passed the end of the pit lane.
39) SUSPENDING A RACE
39.1 If competitors or officials are placed in immediate physical danger by cars running on the track, and
the Race Director deems circumstances are such that the track cannot be negotiated safely, even
behind the safety car, the race will be suspended.
39.2 Should it become necessary to suspend the race, the Race Director will order red flags to be shown at
all marshal posts and the abort lights to be shown at the Line.
39.3 When the signal is given overtaking is forbidden, the pit exit will be closed and all cars must proceed
slowly into the pit lane.
39.4 Any cars unable to return to the pit lane as a result of the track being blocked will be brought back
when the track is cleared and will be arranged in the order they occupied before the race was
suspended.

30
 Additionally, any cars in the pit lane or pit entry at the time the race was suspended will be arranged
in the order they occupied before the race was suspended.
In all cases the order will be taken at the last lap before the race was suspended. All such cars will
then be permitted to resume the race.
The safety car will then be driven to the front of pit lane.
39.5 Whilst the race is suspended :
a) The timekeeping system and the ranking will be stopped at last lap before the red flag was
showed; the lenght of the second part of the race will be the time that remains in the original
race distance minus the first part of the race .
b) Cars may not be worked on once they have stopped in the Fast Lane.
c) Unless asked to do so by the Race Director, cars may not be moved from the fast lane whilst
the race is suspended. A penalty under Article 15.3 c) will be imposed on any driver whose car
is moved from the fast lane to any other part of the pit lane.
At all times drivers must follow the directions of the marshals.
40) RESUMING A RACE
40.1 The delay will be kept as short as possible and as soon as a resumption time is known, all teams will be
informed via the timing monitors where possible, in all cases at least five minutes warning will be
given.
40.2 Signals will be shown five minutes, three minutes, one minute and fifteen seconds before the
resumption and each of these will be accompanied by an audible warning.
40.3 When the three minute signal is shown all cars in the fast lane must have their wheels fully fitted, after
this signal wheels may only be removed if the car has been moved out of the fast lane or during a
further race suspension.
A penalty under Article 15.3(b) will be imposed on any driver whose car did not have all its wheels fully
fitted at the three minute signal or has any of its wheels changed before it leaves pit lane after the race
has been resumed.
At the three minute point any cars between the safety car and the leader, in addition to any cars that
had been lapped by the leader at the time the race was suspended will start their engines and at the
two minute point these cars will be waved off to complete a further lap, without overtaking, and join
the line of cars behind the safety car which left the pit lane when the race was resumed.
40.4 When the one minute signal is shown, engines should be started and all team personnel must leave
the grid by the time the 15 second signal is given taking all equipment with them. If any driver needs
assistance after the 15 second signal he must raise his arm and, when the remainder of the cars able
to do so have left the pit laine, marshals will be instructed to push the car into the working lane. In this
case, marshals with yellow flags will stand beside any car (or cars) concerned to warn drivers behind.
Drivers may leave the fast lane in order to pass any car unable to leave the pit lane.
40.5 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 :
a) The race is being resumed in wet conditions and the race director deems more than one lap
necessary, in which case see Article 38.15.
b) All cars are not yet in a line behind the safety car.

c) Team personnel are still clearing the grid.

d) A further incident occurs necessitating another intervention.

31
 When the green lights are illuminated the safety car will leave the pit lane and all drivers must follow,
no more than ten car lengths apart.
40.6 Overtaking behind the safety car is only permitted if:
a) A car is delayed when leaving its position in the fast lane, may overtake to re-establish his
original starting position provided he does so before he crosses the first safety car line. Should
he fail to do so, he must re-enter the pit lane and may only re-join the race once the whole field
has passed the pit exit.
A penalty will be imposed on any driver who fails to re-enter the pit lane if he has not re-
established the original starting order before he reaches the first safety car line.
b) Drivers may leave the fast lane in order to overtake any car delayed when leaving its position in
the fast lane. Any driver whose car has been pushed from the fast lane, may not overtake in
order to re-establish the order before the race was suspended.
Either of the penalties under Articles 15.3(c) or (d) will be imposed on any driver who, in the
opinion of the stewards, unnecessarily overtook another during the lap.
40.7 If the race cannot be resumed the results will be taken at the end of the last lap before the lap during
which the signal to suspend the race was given.
41) FULL COURSE YELLOW (FCY)
41.1 The FCY procedure may be initiated to neutralise a race upon the order of the clerk of the course. It
will normally be used when double waved yellow flags are needed on any section of track and
competitors or officials may be in danger, but the circumstances are not such as to warrant use of the
safety car itself.
41.2 When the order is given to initiate the FCY procedure, the message "FULL COURSE YELLOW" will, where
possible, be displayed on the timing monitors and all marshal's posts will display waved yellow flags
and " FCY" boards for the duration of the intervention.
An 60 80 km/h speed average limit will be imposed on the entire track.
41.3 All drivers must then reduce speed.
41.4 No car may be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed
potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person at any time whilst the FCY procedure is in
use. This will apply whether any such car is being driven on the track, the pit entry or the pit lane.
41.5 No car may enter the pits whilst the FCY procedure is in use unless it is for the purpose of mechanical
intervention or to retire.
41.6 The stewards may impose either of the penalties under Article 16.3a), b), c) or d) on any driver who,
in their view, failed to comply as required by the above.
41.7 With the exception of the cases listed under a) to d) below, no driver may overtake another car on the
track whilst the FCY procedure is in use.
The exceptions are:
a) When entering the pits a driver may pass another car remaining on the track after he has
reached the first safety car line.
b) When leaving the pits a driver may overtake, or be overtaken by, another car on the track before
he reaches the second safety car line.
c) Whilst in the pit entry, pit lane or pit exit a driver may overtake another car which is also in one
of these three areas.

32
 d) If any car slows with an obvious problem.
41.8 When the clerk of the course decides it is safe to end the FCY procedure, the message "FCY ENDING"
will be displayed on the official messaging system and, at any time between 10 and 15 seconds later,
yellow flags and “FCY” boards will be replaced by green flags, and drivers may continue racing
immediately. After 30 seconds the green flags will be withdrawn.
41.9 Each lap completed whilst the FCY procedure is in use will be counted as a race lap.
42) FINISH
42.1 The end-of-race signal will be given at the Line as soon as the leading car has covered the full race
distance in accordance with Article 5.4.
42.2 Should for any reason the end-of-race signal be given before the leading car completes the scheduled
duration, the race will be deemed to have finished when the leading car last crossed the Line before
the signal was given. Should the end-of-race signal be delayed for any reason, the race will be deemed
to have finished when it should have finished.
42.3 After receiving the end-of-race signal all cars must proceed on the circuit directly to the parc fermé
without any unnecessary delay without overtaking (unless clearly necessary) without receiving any
object whatsoever and without any assistance (except that of the marshals, if necessary).
Any classified car which cannot reach the parc fermé under its own power will be placed under the
exclusive control of the marshals who will take the car to the parc fermé.
43) PARC FERME
43.1 Only those officials charged with supervision may enter the parc fermé. No intervention of any kind is
allowed there unless authorised by such officials.
43.2 When the parc fermé is in use, parc fermé regulations will apply in the area between the Line and the
parc fermé entrance.
43.3 The parc fermé shall be sufficiently large and secure that no unauthorised persons can gain access to
it.
44) CLASSIFICATION
44.1 The car placed first will be the one having covered the scheduled distance in the shortest time, or,
where appropriate, passed the Line in the lead in accordance with Article 5.4. All cars will be classified
taking into account the number of complete laps they have covered, and for those which have
completed the same number of laps, the order in which they crossed the Line.
44.2 Cars having covered less than 80% of the number of laps covered by the winner (rounded down to the
nearest whole number of laps), will not be classified.
44.3 The official classification will be published after the race. It will be the only valid result subject to any
amendments which may be made under the Code and these Sporting Regulations.
45) PODIUM CEREMONY
45.1 The drivers finishing the races in 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions and a representative of the winning team
must attend the prize-giving ceremony on the podium and immediately thereafter make themselves
available for the purpose of television interviews and a press conference in the media centre.
45.2 The Rookie drivers finishing the races in 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions must attend the prize-giving
ceremony on the podium.
46) PRESS CONFERENCES AND PROMOTION
46.1 Upon request, all registered drivers are obliged to attend free of charge all press conferences organised
by the Promoter. The following obligations must in addition be respected :

33
 Immediately after qualification and/or prize giving the first three classified drivers of the race will be
required to make themselves available for a press conference (at a location specified in the
supplementary regulations). All of these three drivers are obliged to attend this press conference.
The drivers must wear their closed overalls and designated caps during the press conferences.
46.2 Drivers must take part in any promotional activity requested by the promoter such as autograph
sessions, prize giving, press conferences, pit road walkabouts and pre-race parades.
The drivers, competitors and manufacturers give the right to the Promoter to use their name for any
promotional, advertising, publicity and public relations purpose, for the promotion of the
Championship.
Use of the Championship logo by the competitors, manufacturers and drivers or their agents or
representatives is prohibited other than by prior permission in writing from the Promoter.
