This Appendix must be read in conjunction with the relevant provisions of Chapter 5 Officials .

1. Handicapping

1.1. Any handicap will be based on the Handicapper ’s estimate of the potential performance of the Vehicles entered. Speeds achieved during Practice will be used as a guide – unless some other basis is advised in Official Documents .

1.2. A handicap may be modified after initial publication but a finalised list of handicaps should be published at least 30 minutes prior to the start of a Race .

1.3. In the case of races in which the handicap is wholly or partly based on Practice times a Driver who in any lap improves their best Practice lap time by more than 5% may be disqualified by the Clerk of the Course . This penalty may be waived if the Handicapper advises the Clerk of the Course of any extenuating circumstances.

1.4. For handicap races the handicap shall be so arranged by the allocation of credit laps that all Vehicles will have left the starting area before the limit Vehicle has completed its first lap. Vehicles due to start at different times should not be placed in the same row on the starting grid.

2. Timing

2.1. The completion of the first and subsequent laps shall be timed when each Vehicle crosses the control line unless the Official Documents state otherwise.

2.2. At all times throughout the Event competing Vehicles shall be fitted with a working timing identification module (i.e transponder). This must be compliant with the Timekeeper ’s equipment. The module identification number should be submitted to the Event Secretary on the Entry form. It is the responsibility of the Competitor to ensure that the module is working and safely fitted in a suitable position on the Vehicle . Failure of the module may result in the competing Vehicle being untimed.

2.3. Where for whatever reason timing is carried out manually the timing of a Vehicle crossing a control line shall be taken at the moment when the centre of the leading wheel(s) pass(es) over that line.

2.4. Transponder only timing must not be to an accuracy of less than 0.01 seconds.

2.5. Transponders must be from the ASN approved list and used in conjunction with decoders certified in accordance with Ch.5 App.18 Chart.6 .

2.6. The fitment of the transponder must be in accordance with the manufacturer ’s instructions at a predetermined position on the Vehicle as detailed in the Official Documents .

3. Practice

3.1. Every Driver including Drivers of Vehicles which are to give performance demonstrations must be given the opportunity of practicing in conditions similar to those to be expected in the Competition and any Driver who has not previously raced over the course in its current configuration within the preceding 2 Competition calendar years must complete at least three Practice laps in the Vehicle to be raced by the Driver during which the Driver shall satisfy the Clerk of the Course as to their competence. Drivers must be given at least the following opportunity for Practicing :

3.2. Organisers will provide a period sufficient to allow at least three laps of Practice in the prevailing conditions.

3.3. It is recommended to schedule a period of 10 minutes of Practice if the Track is less than one mile in length or 15 minutes for a track between 1 mile and 2.5 miles and 20 minutes for tracks over 2.5 miles.

3.4. Organisers will provide a separate Practice session for each Race, Championship or Series (unless the Official Documents state differently). Vehicles practicing entirely out of session will be placed at the back

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 - Appendix 6 - Competition Regulations 407

of the grid without the addition of a time delay except where grid positions have been made in accordance with Art.5.3.b, c, d, e, or f below. If more than one Driver is subject to this rule then starting positions shall be determined by the Clerk of the Course . Qualified reserves shall however enjoy precedence over Competitors practicing entirely out of session or whose Practice times have been disallowed for whatever reason including Vehicle eligibility.

3.5. Drivers whose best lap time exceeds by more than 10% that of the third fastest Vehicle within its class (where similar weather conditions prevailed) may be disqualified at the discretion of the Clerk of the Course .

3.6. During Practising the number of Vehicles on the course shall not exceed the number permitted in a race by more than 20% unless the Track Licence specifies otherwise ( Ch.10 App.1 Art.4.2–4.3 ).

4. Heats

4.1. A Competition may be run in Heats the composition of which and of the Final will be determined by the Organisers and published in the Official Documents . The composition of the Heats may be modified or heats consolidated only by the Clerk of the Course after consultation with the Championship Coordinator if appropriate.

4.2. Starting positions in the Final will be determined by the finishing times recorded in each Heat unless the Official Documents specify otherwise.

4.3. A Driver must drive the same Vehicle in the Final as in the Heats .

5. Starts 5.1. Each Vehicle shall have an allotted position at the start in accordance with Art.5.3 below. 5.2. Official Documents must specify:

a. the method of determining starting positions b. the maximum number of starters in each race.

5.3. Starting positions will be determined by:

Practice times or handicap or finishing order in a preceding race or selection made with the object of placing the fastest Driver at the front or current positions in a Championship or f. ballot when the method must be specified in writing in Official Documents . 5.4. When starting positions are determined by Practice times:

a. b. c. d. e.

Only those times established by a Driver in the Vehicle correctly numbered, eligible and driving in the Race will be recorded. (Unless authorised by Official Documents ‘spare’ Vehicles ’ are not permitted.)

b. All Vehicles in an Event must be given the opportunity to take part in the same Practice . c.

Any flying lap time recorded in a correct Practice session will be taken into account in determining grid positions even if the remainder of the qualifying laps are completed ‘out of session’.

5.5. Any Driver or Vehicle which has had all their Practice times disallowed but remains eligible to compete will be placed behind the rear line of the normal starting grid and will not start when the normal starting signal is given.

a. Such Drivers will be given a starting signal 10 seconds later.

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 - Appendix 6 - Competition Regulations 408

b. This delayed start cannot be applied retrospectively. c. For the purpose of calculating times or speed the normal starting signal will be used. d.

If more than one Driver is subject to this rule then starting positions shall be determined by the Clerk of the Course .

For races with a rolling start such Competitors will start from the pit lane after all the other Vehicles have started.

5.6. Within the provisions of Art.3.4–4.3 and / or 5.4 of this Appendix the lowest Practice time will be considered the most meritorious and the Driver and Vehicle concerned given the pole position at the start with other Drivers and Vehicles arranged in order of the times recorded.

5.7. When identical times are recorded by more than one Driver in the official Practice session for that race the Driver first setting such a time will receive the better starting position.

5.8. In addition if the Track conditions have changed from dry to wet since Practice Drivers will be permitted one additional reconnaissance lap prior to the race. Drivers will be notified accordingly before they leave the assembly area or pit lane whichever is applicable.

5.9. Any Competitor who is on the Track at the time of showing the one-minute board or who is allowed to join the race with the permission of the Clerk of the Course is defined as coming under starter ’s orders and is therefore deemed to be a starter.

5.10. A non-starter is any Competitor who does not fulfil the criteria specified in Art.5.9 above .

6. Starting : 6.1. There are two methods of starting. The Official Documents must state the method to be used:

6.2. Standing start: A standing start occurs when the Vehicles are stationary on their appropriate grid positions with engines running when the starting Signal is given. Timing shall commence when the starting Signal is given. The starting line is the line in relation to which the position of each Vehicle is fixed prior to the start.

6.3. Rolling start : A rolling start occurs when the Vehicles are moving at the moment the starting Signal is given. To achieve a rolling start the Competitors may be led by a Pace Car until the starting Signal is given. All rolling starts must be in a 2 x 2 or 1 x 1 grid formation. The start line is the line on the crossing of which the timing commences.

6.4. The Start Grid shall be notified at least 30 minutes before the start except when the finishing order in one Event affects the starting positions in a subsequent Event scheduled to start less than half an hour later. In such instance the starting positions shall be notified as soon as practicable.

a. The Start Grid will be displayed on the Official Notice Board . b.

Any appeal concerning starting positions must be lodged within 30 minutes of their notification. Where the exception given in Art.6.4 above . applies any appeal must be lodged not less than 10 minutes before the subsequent start.

Each Vehicle will be allocated its pre-determined position on a starting grid. It will be the responsibility of the Driver to place their Vehicle in the correct position unless instructed not to do so by an official specifically appointed to control the start.

It is not permitted to change tyres between leaving the assembly area and the start of the race except in the case of Force Majeure (puncture or obvious damage) or if the Clerk of the Course states that the Track is not completely dry. No artificial tyre heating or heat retaining devices may be used during this period.

The pit exit will be closed 30 seconds after the last able Vehicle of the assembled Vehicles leaves the entry point on to the Circuit and after this time any Vehicles and Drivers exiting the assembly area will be required to start from the pit lane after the last Vehicle has passed the pit lane exit at the start of the Race . Once the countdown has commenced any Vehicle still in the pit lane or assembly area must start at the back of the field at the commencement of the green flag lap or Race start whichever

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 - Appendix 6 - Competition Regulations 409

timing is appropriate as deemed by the Championship Regulations or the Clerk of the Course .

6.5. Visual warnings will be displayed as per Official Documents . Visual warnings may be supplemented by sound signals.

6.6. If through unforeseen circumstances the formation lap cannot commence at the appointed time after the display of the one-minute signal Drivers will be notified by display or a “ Start Delayed” board. Engines may then be stopped but only on the instructions of the Clerk of the Course .

6.7. If a “ Start Delayed” Signal is given the starting procedure will be recommenced by the display of the oneminute warning and so on.

6.8. For all races with a countdown of three minutes or less Officials and Drivers are the only persons allowed on the grid.

6.9. For all starts the Driver will be seated in the Vehicle and engines will be running.

6.10. Unless the Official Documents specify that engines must be stopped on arrival at the starting grid no penalty will be applied for failing to stop engines. Engines not already running will be started at the oneminute signal and the method of starting shall be in accordance with the appropriate Technical Regulations .

6.11. Any Driver in position on the grid but unable to take part in the start shall indicate that predicament by raising an arm vertically or opening the door. Marshals should warn other Drivers by means of a Yellow Signal . These Vehicles will be started after the Competitors have left the grid.

6.12. For all categories of Vehicles that allow slick tyres to be used the start will be preceded by a formation lap.

Following the showing of the 30 second Signal the starter will release the Vehicles by displaying a green Signal .

b. The Vehicles will keep in grid formation for this lap and the pace will be set by the pole position Driver . c. No Practice starts may be executed during the course of this lap. d. At the end of this lap the Vehicles will return to their grid positions and stop with their engines running.

6.13. A five second board will be used to indicate that the grid is complete then approximately 5 seconds after this board is withdrawn the red lights will be switched on and between a further 2 to 7 seconds the red lights will be extinguished to indicate the start of the race.

6.14. The order to start will be given by signal lights or a starting flag:

a. b.

Red lights being extinguished for both a standing start and rolling start

Downward movement of the National Flag where the use of start lights is not possible. All Competitors must be briefed on this method of starting when this is not the usual procedure.

6.15. A grid may be formed in two parts allowing the first part of the grid to be started in advance of the second.

The signal lights or starting flag will be used to start the first part and the second part started by use of a starting flag alone.

For any Circuit up to and including 2 miles in length a time delay of 10 seconds is mandatory to separate the grid.

c. For any Circuit over 2 miles in length the time delay between the two grids will be no less than 10 seconds and no more than 20 seconds. d.

All Competitors must be made aware of this start procedure through the Official Documents whenever this method of starting is used.

Following release of the first part of the grid should an obstruction for the second Race start appear the Race must immediately be red flagged.

6.16. A second Race of the same status may run concurrently but only from a single start up to the maximum number permitted by the Track Licence .

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 - Appendix 6 - Competition Regulations 410

At the end of the specified duration of the shorter race all Competitors will be Signalled by the display of a white board measuring at least 800mm x 600mm with a chequered border and bearing the legend ‘ Race Part One End’.

Upon display of this signal the shorter race Competitors must safely enter the pit lane ensuring that they do not impede those Vehicles which are continuing to race for the longer period.

The timing of Vehicles in the shorter race will conclude when the final Competitor in this shorter race passes the board on the finish line. b.

There must be a minimum of 30 minutes between the end of each Race for Endurance Races and no less than 15 minutes for any other Races .

No Vehicle is eligible to compete in both Races however a Driver competing in an Endurance Race may do so.

A Drivers briefing for all Competitors is mandatory and the board to be used (as specified in Art.6.16.a above ) must be shown to all Competitors during the briefing.

7. False Start 7.1. A false start occurs when a Driver under Starter ’s orders is either:

a. b. c. in an incorrect position on the grid or forward from the prescribed position or moving at the time that the red lights are extinguished or d. in the case of a rolling start fails to maintain the correct station or accelerates early or unevenly. 8. Penalty for a False Start

8.1. Unless the Regulations provide for a different penalty the Driver concerned shall be penalised by the addition of 10 seconds to the time taken to complete the Race . This penalty must immediately be notified to all Competitors by a signal board and to the Driver ’s pit or representative. This penalty will not incur penalty points.

9. Stopping a Race

9.1. Any Race can be stopped at the sole discretion of the Clerk of the Course by ordering the ‘waving’ of the Red Signal at the Start /Finish line. Competitors will be warned that the Race has been stopped by the simultaneous ‘waving’ of the Red Signal at all Flag Marshalling Posts .

Any Race stopped before the leader has completed two laps will be declared a “No Contest” and available Competitors will restart from their original grid positions ( Art.9.2 below also applies).

Any race stopped after the leader has completed more than two laps but less than 75% of its duration will be considered as the first part of the race. Competitors will be restarted from a grid set out in the finishing order of this first part which shall be based upon the order of crossing the finish line at one lap less than the number of laps completed by the leader at the time of first showing the Red Signal . Only Vehicles which are proceeding under their own power in accordance with App.8 Art.1.7.j at the showing of the Red Signal ( App.7 of this Chapter ) will be classified in this first part ( Art.49.c and Arts.9.2–9.5 below also apply).

If a race covered by Art.9.1.b above cannot be restarted either at that time or later during the same Event for whatever reason then the result will be declared applying the same principle described to produced the grid order at b. above – the order of crossing the finish line at one lap less than the number of laps completed by the leader at the time of first showing the Red Signal .

When restarted the result will be the order of finishing at the end of the restarted Race unless Championship Regulations specify otherwise. The result will list all Competitors who took the start in the Race even if they did not take part in the restarted Race and will use the first part for purposes of establishing lap records and point scoring where applicable ( Arts.9.2–9.3 below also apply).

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 - Appendix 6 - Competition Regulations 411

Any race stopped after the leader has completed 75% of its duration may be considered to have finished unless the Clerk of the Course in consultation with the Stewards of the Event deems it appropriate to restart the Race . The result will be based on the order of crossing the finish line at one lap less than the number of laps completed by the leader at the time of the first showing of the Red Signal .

Only Vehicles which are proceeding under their own power at the showing of the Red Signal will be classified (if restarted Art.9.1.b and d. above will apply).

9.2. In the interval between stopping and restarting the Race Vehicles may return to the pit area for repairs. They may not return to the grid but may join from the pit lane after all the other Vehicles have started.

Non-runners at the time of stopping must return to the pit lane and may restart from the pit lane behind those referred to above if approved to do so by a Scrutineer .

No work may be carried out on the grid unless on grounds of safety and with the approval of an ASN Licensed Scrutineer .

9.3. The Clerk of the Course may order that the duration of the second part or re-run of any Race shall be a shorter distance than originally scheduled or may be abandoned altogether.

If the duration is adjusted by the Clerk of the Course the new duration shall be used for the calculation of 75% under Art.9.1.b and e. above.

If the first part of the Race was stopped under Art.9.1.a the duration of the re-run will be determined as the duration of the Race .

However if the first part of the race was stopped under Art.9.1.b then the duration of the second part will be added to the duration of the first part (the elapsed time at which the Red Signal was shown) and the amalgamated figure will be used to determine the overall Race duration.

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 - Appendix 6 - Competition Regulations 412

CHAPTER 12 RACE Appendix 7 - Track Regulations and Driving Standards

1. General

1.1. Any Driver intending to leave the Course or to enter the pits shall Signal the intention to do so in good time and be satisfied that it is safe to do so.

1.2. The Driver of any Vehicle 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.

1.3. Should a Vehicle stop somewhere other than in 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 Vehicle marshals may assist. If such assistance results in the Driver re-joining the Race this must be done without committing any breach of the Regulations and without gaining any advantage.

1.4. No Vehicle able to proceed under its own power shall be stopped either on the Track or the verges of the course but shall proceed to the pits or paddock unless in doing so causes a hazard to other Competitors .

1.5. A Vehicle alone on the Track may use the full width of the Track .

However as soon as it is caught by a Vehicle which is about to lap it the Driver must allow the faster Driver past at the first possible opportunity.

If the Driver who has been caught does not seem to make full use of the rear-view mirrors Flag Marshals will display blue Signals to indicate that the faster Driver wants to overtake.

c. Any Driver who appears to ignore the blue Signals will be reported to the Clerk of Course . d.

Overtaking according to the circumstances may be carried out either on the right or on the left. In response to each attempted overtaking manoeuvre no more than one change of direction to defend a position is permitted.

Any Driver moving back towards the racing line having earlier defended position off-line must leave at least one Vehicles width between their own Vehicle and the edge of the Track on the approach to the corner.

Manoeuvres liable to hinder other Drivers such as deliberate crowding of a Vehicle beyond the edge of the Track or any other abnormal change of direction are strictly prohibited.

Any Driver who appears guilty of any of the above offences may be reported to the Clerk of Course and penalised.

1.6. Drivers must use the Track at all times and may not leave the Track without a justifiable reason. For the avoidance of doubt:

a. The white lines defining the Track edges are considered to be part of the Track . b.

A Driver will be judged to have left the Track if any part of the contact patch of the tyre of the Vehicle goes beyond either the outer edge of any kerb or the white line where there is no kerb.

1.7. Should a Vehicle leave the Track for any reason and without prejudice to Art.1.8 below the Driver may re-join. However this may only be done when it is safe to do so and without gaining any advantage.

1.8. Causing a collision and / or repetition of serious mistakes or the appearance of a lack of control over the Vehicle (such as leaving the Track ) will be reported to the Clerk of Course and may entail the imposition of penalties up to and including the Disqualification of any Driver concerned.

1.9. It is not permitted to drive any Vehicle unnecessarily slowly or erratically or in a manner deemed to be potentially dangerous to other Drivers at any time.

1.10. Breaches of Art.1.6 above may be reported and/or determined only by:

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 Appendix 7 - Track Regulations and Driving Standards 413

A duly appointed Judge of Fact and/or b. Senior Officials through the use of suitable equipment under the control of the Organisers.

1.11. Breaches of Art.1.6 above may be penalised as follows:

In qualifying the lap on which the breach occurred should be disallowed. Note should be made on the Results of any times disallowed.

b. During Races the following scale of Penalties will be applied: 1st breach – 2nd breach – 3rd breach – 4th breach – 5th breach –

6th breach – no Penalty warning Signal a 5 second Time Penalty added to Race time a further 10 second Time Penalty added to Race time

Drive Through (App.10 Art.2.l) Penalty in addition to the preceding Time Penalties

Black Signal

Care should be taken to ensure that all Signals (flag and / or Light Board / Panel ) should have been displayed to the Driver concerned before moving up the penalty scale. All penalties applied must be noted on the Results .

1.11.1 Championships with Races of 40 minutes or more may vary the above Penalties in consideration of Driver changes and/or Race duration. These specific Penalties must be defined in the Championship Regulations and will be subject to prior ASN agreement.

1.12. No competing Vehicle shall be driven in the reverse direction of the Track except for the minimum distance to remove it from an unexpected situation and then only under official supervision.

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 Appendix 7 - Track Regulations and Driving Standards 414

CHAPTER 12 RACE Appendix 8 - Signals by Flags and Light Panels

1. The following regulations apply to Circuit racing and Kart racing

1.1. Flag Signals and / or Light Panels where available shall be in accordance with the following. At venues where light panels are operational these light Signals will take priority and may be supplemented with flags:

1.2. Each Signalling Post shall be provided with a Hazard Area Board (not applicable at Kart Circuits ) and the following Signals :

a. b. c. d. e. f.

Yellow Yellow and Red Green Blue Red White and g. Purple (if specified in the Official Documents ) and shall be staffed by Marshals who are competent in their use.

1.3. The Clerk of the Course shall be provided with or have under their direct control:

a. b. c. d. e. a Red Signal a Black Signal a Black and White Signal split diagonally and a Black Signal with an Orange Disc

The means for clearly displaying a competing Vehicle number in the case of b. to d. above. where available a digital board will display messages to the Drivers .

1.4. The National Flag and a Black and White Chequered Signal shall be available at the start and finish line or lines for appropriate use.

1.5. All Marshals posts shall show a Green Signal during the first lap of each Practice session and during each formation lap.

1.6. Officials ’ Signals will be conveyed to Drivers and may be displayed either by flags and or by an appropriately coloured light panel to which the Competitor number may be attached.

1.7. A static ‘flag may be replaced by a coloured light Signal and a ‘waved flag’ may be replaced by a flashing coloured light Signal :

a. Red /Green lights or National Flag : Race start. b. Blue – Stationary: Another Competitor is following close behind. c. Blue – ‘Waved’: Another Competitor is trying to overtake. d.

White - A service Vehicle or slow-moving Vehicle is on the Circuit . The white Signal will be waved to indicate the sector of the Track that the slow-moving Vehicle is in and held stationary whilst the Vehicle is in the next sector.

Yellow – ‘Waved’: Danger slow down sufficiently to ensure that full control of the Vehicle can be retained. No overtaking.

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 - Appendix 8 - Signals by Flags and Light Panels 415

Yellow – Double ‘Waved’: Great danger. Slow down considerably. Be prepared to suddenly change from the projected racing line or take other evasive action including stopping if necessary. No overtaking.

g. Yellow with Red Stripes – Stationary: Slippery surface ahead. h. Yellow with Red Stripes – ‘Waved’: Slippery surface imminent. i.

Green – ‘Waved’: All clear at the end of a danger area controlled by yellow Signals . Also used to signify the start of a formation lap and shown at all posts during first lap of each Practice session and during each formation lap.

Red : Immediately cease driving at racing speed and proceed slowly without overtaking and with maximum caution to pits or start line obeying Marshal ’s instructions and or Signals and being prepared to stop should the Track be blocked.

Black with Orange disc displayed with the Competitor ’s number: Notification of apparent mechanical failure or of a fire which might not be obvious to the Driver . The Vehicle concerned must call at its pit for repairs on the next lap.

Black and White Rectangular split diagonally and displayed with the Competitor ’s number: A warning to the Driver that their driving conduct is suspect and they may be shown a black Signal on further reports.

Black displayed with the Competitor ’s number: The Driver must stop at their pit on the next lap of receiving the Signal and report to the Clerk of the Course . A penalty of Disqualification may be enforced by display of the Black Signal .

n. Black and White Chequered - End of Race or Practice .

o. Hazard Area Board which will be displayed as a warning of a hazard that was not present when the Practice or Race started.

p. SC Board will be displayed in the event of the Safety Car being deployed. q.

A Full Course Yellow panel will be displayed in the event of Full Course Yellows being deployed

1.8. At an incident where the Track is obstructed or Marshals are working at the trackside the following Signals will be used:

a. A ‘waved’ Yellow Signal before a double ‘waved’ Yellow Signal . b. A double ‘waved’ Yellow immediately preceding the incident. c. A ‘waved’ Green immediately after the incident. d.

If the incident is well off the Track and marshals are not working at the trackside the incident may be indicated by a single ‘waved’ yellow followed by a ‘waved’ green or by a Hazard Area board.

1.9. The Code 60 Signal (purple) may be brought into operation to neutralise a Race at the sole decision of the Clerk of the Course provided that all Marshals Posts in use are in communication with Race Control its use will have been confirmed in the Official Documents and its operation in accordance with Arts.3 of this Appendix 8 and explained in the Drivers briefing.

1.10. Overtaking or not slowing down is an offence from the point of passing the Yellow Signal (s) until the Green Signal is passed.

1.11. If a hazard has been indicated by Yellow Signals as above the Signals may be withdrawn even though the hazard remains. It will then be indicated by a Hazard Area board at the Marshals Post preceding the hazard. It is then the Competitor ’s responsibility to take appropriate care.

1.12. When a Race is stopped by the Red Signal the method of re-starting or deciding the result will be in accordance with Arts.9.1.b – c and Art.9.2 of App.6 to this Chapter.

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 - Appendix 8 - Signals by Flags and Light Panels 416

1.13. Other than the Starter ’s Flag the minimum Signal size is:

a. for any flag 750mm x 600mm (N.B International Regulations require the Red flag to be 800mm x 1000mm minimum)

b. Light panels FIA Homologated Grade 3 and above.

1.14. Once the Black and White chequered Signal has been displayed the Competition is over and may not be restarted.

1.15. If during any Race no Vehicle crosses the control line under its own power during a period of five minutes the end of Race Signal shall be displayed and the results announced on the relative positions of Vehicles at the time they last crossed the control line under their own power.

1.16. SIGNAL COLOURS

2. Operation of Safety Car

2.1. The Safety Car will be brought into operation to neutralise a Race upon the sole decision of the Clerk of the Course . The Safety Car will be driven by an experienced circuit Driver and will carry an observer capable of recognising all competing Vehicles and who is in permanent radio contact with Race Control Ch.5 PART A App.5 Art.1.3.r

2.2. The Safety Car , yellow/amber lights illuminated, will normally join and exit the Circuit from the pit lane and the Safety Car boards will be shown initially from the Start / Finish line. If these locations are to be varied specific written instructions and verbal briefings will be issued detailing the exact locations to be used.

2.3. On the order from the Clerk of the Course , the Safety Car will join the Circuit with its flashing lights on, regardless of where the Race leader is.

2.4. At venues where light panels are operational then these signals will be simultaneously broadcast by Race Control to all marshals’ posts and may be supplemented with flags. When the order is given to deploy the Safety Car a ‘waved’ yellow Signal and “SC” board will be displayed at the Start / Finish line. The ‘waved’ yellow Signals and “SC” boards will be displayed simultaneously by Race Control where light panels are

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 - Appendix 8 - Signals by Flags and Light Panels 417

installed or will flow around the Circuit in both directions as adjacent Marshals Posts display both their waved yellow Signal and “SC” board where there are no panels.

2.5. Flashing yellow lights may also be used at the start-line and at other points around the Circuit .

2.6. All competing Vehicles , when notified of the Safety Car intervention (by the flag Signals , “SC” boards, or by any other means) will reduce speed and line up behind the Safety Car no more than 5 car lengths apart and maintaining the same speed as it. Overtaking or overlapping of any other competing Vehicle during a Safety Car intervention is forbidden. Overtaking of a Safety Car is forbidden unless the particular Competitor concerned is signalled to overtake the Safety Car by the observer in the Safety Car . Any overtaking or overlapping during the Safety Car intervention will be deemed a breach of signals, Ch.2 App.12 Art.1.2.b

2.7. When ordered to do so by the Clerk of the Course , the observer in the Safety Car will wave past any Vehicles between the Safety Car and the Race leader. These Vehicles will continue at reduced speed and without overtaking until they reach the line of Vehicles behind the Safety Car .

2.8. While the Safety Car is in operation competing Vehicles may enter the pit lane but may only rejoin the Track when signalled to do so and not when the Safety Car and the line of Vehicles following it are about to pass or are passing the pit exit. A Vehicle re-joining the Track must proceed at an appropriate speed until it reaches the end of the line of Vehicles behind the Safety Car .

2.9. The Safety Car will remain in operation until at least the majority of competing Vehicles on the Circuit are lined up behind it.

2.10. When the Clerk of the Course calls in the Safety Car it will extinguish the yellow/amber flashing lights prior to exiting the Circuit . This would normally be such that a minimum of 25% of a lap for Circuits over 2 miles and 50% of a lap for Circuits under 2 miles should be completed by the Safety Car with its lights extinguished.

2.11. Following the Safety Car extinguishing its lights and prior to passing the green Signal the Race leader will dictate the pace and if necessary fall more than five car lengths behind the Safety Car . 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 Vehicle are extinguished Drivers must proceed at a pace which will not lead to the Safety Car being overtaken before it has entered the pit road, involves no erratic acceleration or braking nor any other manoeuvre which is likely to either endanger other Drivers or impede the restart.

2.12. As the Safety Car is entering the pit entry road the green Signal will be displayed at the Start / Finish line and the “SC” board withdrawn. Following this display of the start Signal yellow Signal and “SC” boards at the the Signalling Posts will be withdrawn and be replaced with a ‘waved green’ Signal for one lap. The ‘waved’ green Signal will be displayed simultaneously by Race Control where light panels are installed or will flow around the Circuit in both directions as an adjacent post displays their ‘waved’ green Signal where there are no panels. This system may be supplemented by a message being simultaneously broadcast to all Signalling Posts if such a communication system is available. Overtaking or overlapping remains strictly forbidden until the start Signal at the Start / Finish line is passed. Any overtaking or overlapping after the Safety Car signals have been withdrawn and before passing the Green Signal at the Control Line will be deemed to be gaining an advantage ( Ch . 2 Annexe A Art . 1.3 ).

2.13. Each lap covered while the Safety Car is in service will be counted as a Race lap unless specified to the contrary in Championship Regulations .

2.14. Under certain circumstances the Clerk of the Course may ask the Safety Car to use the pit lane. In this case and provided its yellow/amber lights remain illuminated all Vehicles must follow it into the pit lane without overtaking. Any Vehicle entering the pit lane under these circumstances may stop at its designated garage area.

2.15. Should it be necessary to stop a Race during a Safety Car deployment the Safety Car with all competing Vehicles following will pass through the Red Signal at the Start / Finish line complete one further lap at reduced speed and then once the Safety Car comes to a stop at a position indicated by the Safety Car observer (which will usually be either the grid or Parc Fermé ), all competing Vehicles must stop behind it unless otherwise directed.

Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 12 - Appendix 8 - Signals by Flags and Light Panels 418

2.16. In exceptional circumstances the following may apply:

a. The Race may be started behind the Safety Car . i. In this case its flashing yellow/amber lights will be turned on at the two-minute Signal . ii.

This is the Signal to the Entrants / Drivers that the Race will be started behind the Safety Car and it will remain at the front of the grid during the remainder of the countdown. When the Green Signal is shown at the Start / Finish Line , the Safety Car will leave the grid and all Vehicles will follow in single file in grid order no more than 5 (five) Vehicle lengths apart. Subject to Arts. b. - f. below the Race will be deemed to have started when the Safety Car leaves the grid and the Green Signal is displayed. b.

iii.

iv.

Vehicles will leave the grid in single file grid order behind the Safety Car under the instruction of the Chief Start / Finish line Marshal . Vehicles will remain in single file without overtaking, except that a Vehicle that falls behind may regain its grid position if the Vehicles behind it could not avoid passing without unduly delaying the remainder of the field. In this case Drivers may carefully overtake to reestablish their original starting grid order. If a Vehicle falls to the back of the grid it must remain at the back of the grid.

Any Vehicle (s) delayed leaving the grid may not overtake another moving Vehicle if stationary after the remainder of the Vehicles had crossed the line. In this case the Vehicle (s) shall remain at the back of the grid in the order they left the grid.

A time penalty or Drive Through Penalty may be imposed on any Driver who in the opinion of the Clerk of the Course unnecessarily overtakes another Driver during these laps.

The “SC” boards and Yellow Signals will be displayed at Signalling Posts around the Circuit until the Clerk of the Course withdraws the Safety Car from use in accordance with Arts.2.10 –2.12.

All laps undertaken in this start procedure will be deemed to be counted as Race laps

2.17. Any Vehicle being driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or which is deemed potentially dangerous to other Drivers at any time whilst the Safety Car is deployed will be reported to the Clerk of the Course . This will apply whether any such Vehicle is being driven on the Track, the pit entry or the pit lane.
