Times:
Extra time has been allowed between heats and finals, but this makes things tight if something goes wrong. So please make sure you are ready, because the computer will not be stopped.
Transmitter compound:
A transmitter compound will be used at all times on Sunday. Transmitters will be made available to drivers when groups are called for practice, heats and finals. Drivers please ensure that cars, transmitters and transponders are returned to the transmitter compound immediately upon completion of practice session, heat or final. Transmitters will not be issued to drivers until the transmitters from the previous race have been returned.
Starting Method:
The computer system will call the start of each race. 4 minutes will be allowed between heats. IFMAR starts will be used. Cars will be called in at 30 seconds to go for refueling. The computer will call cars away one at a time after the computer has called for the race to start. For the finals there will be 5 minutes between races, again cars will be called in at 30 seconds to go. The race director will ask for all cars to be placed on the track and the race will start when the siren sounds from the computer.

The driver’s stand must be used.
