FIM STANDARDS FOR TRACK RACING CIRCUITS (STRC ...

079.3.5 Maintenance
Speedway, Long & Grass tracks:
The track should be properly watered down in ample time before the meeting
to ensure satisfactory racing and to protect the public and the riders from dust.
Water must also be available to control dust during the racing.
To preserve the evenness of the top dressing, it should be graded as necessary
between heats. Graders should be constructed so that they replace the top
dressing on the inside area of the track from the outside where it has been
thrown during racing.
Ice tracks:
To remove loose ice, the surface must be scraped or brushed as necessary, but
at least after every four races. The loose ice shall be removed from the surface
of the track so that the edge marking remains clearly visible to the riders and the
Referee. For this purpose power-driven scrapers or brushes must be provided.
079.3.6 Track requirements and equipment
The track is in order when the track surface ensures satisfactory riding and
overtaking. In order to obtain this, all necessary equipment such as graders,
water tankers, etc. have to be provided at all Track Racing meetings.
079.4 PROTECTIVE DEVICES AND BARRIERS
The use of FIM homologated APDs is compulsory at all FIM Speedway and
Long Track (NB: for Long Track recommended in 2013 and compulsory
in 2014) World Championship meetings (500cc) except in the following
circumstances:
For speedway and Long Track
the requirement for the use of an approved APD may be relaxed at the sole
discretion of the CCP after full consideration of the remarks and report from the
appointed FIM Track Inspector.
