CHAPTER 7 COMPETITOR VEHICLE AND VEHICLE SAFETY EQUIPMENT Appendix 12 - Scrutineering
This Appendix must be read in conjunction with Chapters 2 – 5 and 8 and 9 as well as relevant discipline Chapters and all Official Documents.
1.1. Technical Officials are Officials of the Event.
1.2. At all times it is the responsibility of the Competitor to establish that the Vehicle presented is in conformity with the Regulations of the Event.
1.3. Before taking part in any Competition or Practice for any Competition requested Vehicles must be presented to the Event Scrutineers for examination and approval.
1.4. The fact of obtaining a Scrutineer ’s approval at pre-Event scrutiny does not indicate that the Scrutineer is accepting any responsibility for the safety or the roadworthiness of the Vehicle nor does it indicate that the Vehicle complies in all respects with the Regulations . Please note that pre-Event Scrutineering or Vehicle Passport inspection by a Scrutineer is only a spot check of a limited number of key safety and eligibility features of a Vehicle’s condition. Approval does not guarantee that the Vehicle meets all applicable regulations or standards and which at all times is the responsibility of the Competitor.
1.5. Subsequent to pre-Event scrutiny any Vehicle involved in an accident or having been modified in any way must be represented to the Scrutineers for further examination.
1.6. At any time during an Event the Clerk of the Course or the Scrutineers (or where applicable to the Stewards of the Event ) may order that a Vehicle be examined or re-examined even if this involves stopping a Vehicle whilst Practising or competing.
1.7. At the conclusion of a Competition a number of Vehicles as agreed by the Clerk of the Course and the Scrutineers or as ordered by the Stewards or as laid down in the Regulations may be required to be presented for Post-Event scrutiny. Such Vehicles will then be in Parc Ferme regardless of their actual location. No work is to be done on such Vehicles after finishing the Competition except by permission or request of the Scrutineers until after the examination is completed and the Vehicle released. It is the responsibility of the Competitor to provide appropriate tools and personnel within an agreed time to carry out the work required.
1.8. The post-Event scrutiny will be mainly directed at the Vehicle’s eligibility and may involve parts of the Vehicle being sealed for subsequent stripping and examination. Subject to the overriding authority of the ASN (Chapter 1 Art.1.4) this should normally be within a maximum of 30 days after sealing although it can be extended by mutual agreement between the Organisers and the Competitor to 50 days. Subject as stated above at the end of the season series or championship it should never exceed 30 days.
1.9. Vehicles or components may be sealed on the instructions of the Clerk of the Course, Stewards of the Event, the Technical Commissioners or following a Protest (Chapter 2). Sealing may be by wire seals special reactive paint or other suitable method. Such seals must not be broken except with the written permission of the person who originally affixed the seal or of the ASN or by the person designated to examine the parts in question. The Technical Commissioner or Scrutineer examining the Vehicle or component will report his findings to the Clerk of the Course for their action.
1.10. If a sealed Vehicle or sealed component is to be examined other than at the Event by a third party on behalf of the Organisers then the Stewards of the Event and the ASN must be notified before the date of any such examination and the ASN may impose condition on that examination.
1.11. Approval of a Vehicle will only be in relation to those items of the Vehicle which have been examined and will only apply to the Event which the Vehicle has just completed.
1.12. Where Vehicle Identification Stickers are required ( App.1 Art.1.11–1.12 ) part of the scrutineering procedure is to affix an ASN sticker to the Vehicle in an appropriate position (near to the chassis identification plate if possible). Stickers may only be affixed by selected Scrutineers , or by the ASN at ASN Headquarters. Motorsport UK 2025 National Competition Rules Chapter 7 Appendix 12 - Scrutineering 289
1.13. Once applied, Vehicle Identification Stickers must remain permanently affixed to the Vehicle. Damaged stickers can only be removed and replaced by selected Scrutineers . New and replacement stickers will be charged at the current fee.
