only after crossing the yellow line preceding the Start Line. Yellow Signals and SLOW boards at Marshals posts will then be withdrawn and replaced with‘ waved’ green Signals. These Signals will be displayed for a maximum of one lap. f.

2. Stopping of a Race
2.1. The Clerk of the Course( or their Deputy) may decide to stop a Race or Practice at any time. Should a Race be stopped by the display of red Signals the following procedures will apply:
i. Any Race stopped before the leader has completed two laps will be declared null and void. ii. The Race will be re-run in its entirety as per Art. 3.1 below. iii.
All available Karts will restart from their original grid positions; the grid may be closed up for any missing Karts. iv. Front fairings may be reset without penalty on the grid.
2.2. If it becomes necessary to remove all Karts from the Track repairs may be made and all Karts that came under Starter’ s orders for the original Race will be permitted to start the re-run Race from the dummy grid in their original positions.
2.3. If 2 or more laps but less than 75 % of Race distance has been completed by the leader the Clerk of the Course shall at their discretion decide to:
a.
Abandon the Race. In which case the Race( result) shall be declared as the order of finishing on the last full lap completed by all Karts proceeding under their own power when the red Signal was first displayed followed in classification by non-running Karts on a roll back of laps basis and order of stopping.
OR b. Consider the Race suspended and run it as a two-part Race. i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
In this case the Karts will be restarted in a single file rolling start with no overtaking before the start line. After one or more laps under Yellow and Black quarter Signals the start will be signified by the‘ waving’ of the Green Signal The starting order for the second part of the Race shall be the order at the last full lap completed by all Karts still proceeding under their own power when the Red Signal was first displayed. Any time penalty will be recorded and added to the final result. Drivers“ one or more lap( s) down” shall be put in their correct position i. e. behind the Drivers on the same lap as the leader. v. The Race distance shall be the number of laps required to make up the full Race distance. vi.
The finishing order of the second part shall be the finishing order of the Race( Drivers“ one or more lap( s) down” in the first part shall be deemed to have finished the Race“ one or more lap( s) down” unless they have un-lapped themselves) followed in classification by non-running Karts on a roll back of laps basis and order of stopping. c.
If the Judge of Fact reports that the front fairing on one or more Karts was no longer in the correct position when the Race was suspended in all situations a time penalty of 5 seconds will be imposed automatically on the Driver( s) concerned and added to the final result. This is not susceptible to Appeal. Any front fairing which is subject to a Judge of Fact report must be reset on the grid before the Race is re-started.
