Article B5.15.7
If the TTCS cannot be resumed
Chapter: B5
In Simple Terms
If a race under the TTCS (Time Certain To Complete System) cannot be restarted after being suspended, the official results will be based on the standings from two laps before the suspension happened. This ensures a fair result even if the race cannot continue.
- Results are frozen at the end of the penultimate lap before suspension was signaled
- This rule only applies when the TTCS cannot be resumed at all
- Points and positions are determined from this specific lap, not from when the race was stopped
- Provides a definitive endpoint if race conditions prevent further racing
Official FIA Text
If the TTCS cannot be resumed the results will be taken at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap during which the signal to suspend the TTCS was given.
