Officials - Presence at Competition Start

Chapter: ARTICLE B1: ORGANISATION OF A COMPETITION

In Simple Terms

Before the race starts, four important officials must be present: the Stewards (who make decisions about rule violations), the Race Director (who controls the race), the Clerk of the Course (who manages the event), and the Technical Delegate (who checks that cars meet regulations). This ensures proper oversight and fair competition from the very beginning.

  • Four specific officials must be present at the competition start
  • Stewards oversee rule compliance and penalties
  • Race Director has overall control of the race
  • Technical Delegate ensures all cars meet technical regulations
