General Safety - Stopped Cars

Chapter: ARTICLE B1: ORGANISATION OF A COMPETITION

In Simple Terms

If a car breaks down or stops on the track, the safety marshals will quickly remove it to keep the race safe. Drivers are not allowed to deliberately stop their cars on track unless they have a very good reason, like a mechanical failure.

  • Marshals must remove stopped cars from the track as quickly as possible
  • Drivers cannot stop on track without a justifiable reason (mechanical failure, accident damage, etc.)
  • The rule exists to prevent unnecessary safety hazards and keep the race flowing
  • Deliberate or unjustified stops on track can result in penalties
