7 Appendix i Drivers Briefing The organisers of The Neo Race would like to welcome you all to the race, in order to save time we have prepared this drivers briefing, copies will be available on the results boards to refer to afterwards. A printed timetable is available, we will endeavour to run as close as possible to this but it may change however please keep an eye on which heat is on so you are prepared! Points of particular Importance: - The rostrum has two sets of stairs to ease and speed up flow. - When driving on track, please listen out for speaker calls - For the E-Buggy class, only LiPo batteries with a maximum voltage of 14.8V [4S] are allowed. All LiPo batteries must be charged in a LiPo Charging pouch / Bag or risk immediate penalty. - If you have a race problem or frequency problem please direct this to race control where someone will try to solve the problem for you. - Please make sure your personal transponder number is correct during registration, if it is wrong you may lose your race time. - Result Protests: Results of heats can be protested up to 30 minutes after the heat finishes. Results of Finals can be protested up to 10 minutes after the Race Finish. See Race Control. - Each car must always carry a minimum of three official race numbers placed on the bodyshell while on track (this applies to practice, qualifying, finals and semi practice), one on each side window and one on the front window. Do not cut them in anyway. An incorrectly numbered car will be black flagged. - During Practice and qualifying, each driver must marshal the heat after, when you leave the rostrum give your transmitter to your pit man, and go straight to your marshal position (your number in the heat). Any failure to marshal will result in a penalty. - During Finals, drivers are expected to provide a marshal for their own final(s). I.E. In addition to your pit crew you will need somebody to cover your marshal point, during your final. You do not marshal the final after yours (you ll probably need to return the favour and marshal someone else s final however!) Failure to provide a marshal means you cannot start your final. 10.
