Abandoned Car Requirements

In Simple Terms

When a driver needs to abandon their car during a race or session, they must leave it in a safe state: the car must be in neutral (or clutch disengaged), the ERS energy recovery system must be turned off, and the steering wheel must remain attached. This ensures the car is safe for marshals to handle and recover.

• Car must be left in neutral or with clutch fully disengaged to prevent unintended movement
• ERS (Energy Recovery System) must be completely shut down for safety
• Steering wheel must remain in place and attached to the car
• These requirements apply whenever a driver abandons their vehicle during any session
