RACING - OVERVIEW

COMPETITOR BRIEFING

‣ A copy of the Competitors Briefing will be contained within your Competitor Welcome Pack, please

make sure you read this.

START POSITIONS

‣ Priority of choice will be decided by Timed training for all classes.

‣ All riders should have a transponder fitted to their machine for all practices, qualifying sessions and

races.

START GATE

‣ Riders are not permitted to groom the start area until they arrive at the start line with their machine.

This is due to the start being in the centre of the circuit which is a prohibited area.

‣ Any rider who is deemed to have made a flying or premature start will be penalised which will be a

statement of fact.

‣ Once a rider has taken his place at the start gate, he cannot change it.

‣ A rider is deemed to be under starters orders having been called to the start line, the starter will hold

up the green flag from which moment the riders are under his control, until all riders are on the start

line. When all the riders are on the start line, the starter will hold up a 15 second board for a full 15

seconds. At the end of the 15 seconds, he will hold up a 5 second board and the gate will drop

between 5 and 10 seconds after the 5 second board is shown.

‣ For any class which has more than 40 riders there will be a handicap start system.

‣ The fastest 40 qualifiers from Timed Qualification will start on the front gate and there will be up to

20 riders who will start from gate two, approx 20 seconds after the start of the race.

‣ Gate two will be for the remaining riders after the top 40 have been seeded to gate one and for the

riders who did not record a time in the Qualifying session.

‣ There are two start gates, consisting of 40 and 20.

STOPPING A RACE

Any part of the meeting can be prematurely stopped for urgent and/or safety reasons or other cases of “force

majeure”. In that case, a red flag will be displayed to the riders:

BEFORE 50%

Before 50% of the published race distance, excluding any additional laps, has elapsed

‣ If a race is stopped before 50% of the schedule laps, there will be a complete restart.

‣ Riders will return to the waiting zone and await an official announcement.

‣ A restart will take place as soon as possible.

‣ Changing of motorcycles will be allowed in the waiting zone.



‣ If one or more riders are deemed to be at fault for the race being stopped, they may be disqualified

from takin part in the restart.

‣ Reserve riders (if any) may take part in the restart of a race if one or more of the original starters is

unable to take part or are disqualified.

‣ If there is more than one re start, if after 5 minutes and before 50% of the race has been completed it

may be re run at the discretion of the Clerk of the Course.

AFTER 50%

After 50% of the published race distance, excluding any additional laps, has elapsed.

‣ If a race is stopped after 50% of the race distance the result will be declared on the last completed

lap.

‣ If a race is to be stopped after the leader (s) has taken the chequered flag they will be classified as

having finished the race.

‣ The order of classification for those riders who have not taken the chequered flag shall be based upon

the order of last crossing the finishing line prior to the showing of the red flag and only competitors

who are racing at the showing of the red flag and have completed 75%, rounded down to the last full

lap, of the overall race distance will be classified.

CLASSIFICATION OF A FINISHER

‣ All Competitors completing one full lap will be included in the results.

‣ The order of classification shall be based upon the number of laps completed and order of finish.

‣ All riders finishing on the same las as the winner will be classified in the order they cross the finish

line, followed by riders with one less lap, then two laps and so on.

NOISE BOARDS

A Noise Board will be displayed with the Rider number, at the Finish Area. You have one full lap to pull into

the Pits to fix the problem.
