Post Sprint & Post Race Parc Fermé Access

In Simple Terms

After a Sprint or race ends, the car goes into a special restricted area called parc fermé. Only FIA officials are allowed to enter this area, and nobody can touch or work on the cars unless an official gives them permission. This ensures all cars are kept in their race condition for inspection.

• Only FIA officials supervising parc fermé are permitted entry
• No team members, engineers, or drivers can work on cars without explicit official authorization
• Cars must remain untouched to preserve evidence for technical inspection and rule compliance checks
• Violations of parc fermé rules can result in serious penalties including disqualification
