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.
a.
b.
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.
e.
f.
g.
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 in accordance with Diagram 1.
