Kampenhout 2022 IR briefing

Free practice on Friday:

After your practice run, please stay at least 5 minutes on the track for marshaling your friends…  and other competitors  J.

About racing:

Race duration is 5 minutes. Every driver will race 4 qualifying rounds and 3 finals.

– round by round, two best results to count

– starting order first round by lottery, then according to results of previous round

– in the first round you can do two laps as warm up to check your transponder by driving over the loop

the straight is a go slow area during warm up lap and after “race over” call

– starting grid for all finals chosen by pole sitter A final

– tire treatment products are not allowed, according to Efra and FBA rules

     – Control tyre  for driven axles (except Truck class): Schumacher Mini Dart, all types all compounds.

       – Additionally for the 4WD front wheels the Schumacher Wide Stagger Rib (all compounds) will be allowed.

You will receive 2 sets of wheel stickers (= 4 stickers in 2wd and Truck, 8 stickers in 4wd) for use in dry

conditions, in the wet you can use Silver compound tyres without wheel stickers.

Line up beside the rostrum a few minutes before your heat (pass behind the rostrum!). Wait for the “race over” call of the previous heat. First all the drivers come down the stairs before drivers of the following heat go up.

During qualifying, let the faster drivers go by. No shouting on the rostrum (or elsewhere), be a gentleman at all times. Don’t drive in the opposite direction. Stopping at the end of your race/practice after the turn at the end of the straight.

No drivers or mechanics on track before the “race over” call.

If your car breaks down during a heat, stay on the rostrum until “race over”, bring your car and transmitter  to technical inspection and go to your marshaling position before even thinking about repairing your car.

After your heat do not forget to shut off your transmitter and bring it to technical inspection together with your car. Proceed directly to your marshaling position.

Marshals stay on their position until the replacement arrives!

Marshals have to wear the fluo vests and solid footwear. Marshals are allowed to do a quick fix if needed (refit loose ball cup) whilst still keeping an eye on the other cars on the track.

After marshaling you can collect car + transmitter.

Lower finals may be run with 11 drivers to avoid an extra  final with only a few drivers.

Important: make sure your transmitter is recognizably labeled to avoid mistakes when you pick up your transmitter after marshaling.

About penalties:

Warning or stop and go 5 seconds in pits at the end of the straight.

Failing to marshal = loss of best result of the day.

Practical information:

Car numbers are to be collected at timekeeping (near rostrum).

Number stickers: one flat on the front windscreen will do.

Parking and pitting:

Absolutely no race related parking near the playground/kitchen area.

Park your car further down in the park on both sides of the outer road. Do remember to keep this outer road free for safety regulations.

On Saturday and Sunday afternoon the entry/exit of the Park may be  blocked until 18:00h due to ongoing activities.

Please keep the premises clean, bin bags are available at timekeeping and catering.

Enjoy your race!
