Dear visitors to the race, R u l e s f o r S p e c t a t o r s by Hockenheim-Ring GmbH at Hockenheimring Baden-Wuerttemberg Welcome to Hockenheim. We wish you a pleasant stay here and at the same time would like to call your attention to the following points: Every spectator is required to have a valid admission ticket that entitles him to access to the area stated on the ticket only. If someone enters the premises without a valid admission ticket, it will be reported to the police. If you temporarily leave your seat you have to request a re-admission ticket from the stewards. Only the original admission ticket together with the re-admission ticket entitle you to re-enter the area for spectators. Please show both tickets to the stewards without being asked. Lost or stolen tickets will not be replaced. Please keep your tickets in a safe place. Please keep clear of the stairways leading up and down the grandstand. If you need help you will also expect the medical service to be able to reach you without any obstruction. Bringing along bulky objects (i.e. coolers, beverage crates, glass containers, folding chairs) as well as pyrotechnical devices, weapons and similar items or animals is not permitted. Camping or setting up trailers and mobile homes is only permitted in the designated areas. Please park your passenger cars in the designated car parks and let the stewards and police instruct you where exactly to park. Besides, the German road traffic act also applies to Hockenheim. Open fire and the displaying of fireworks are strictly prohibited. This highly endangers yourself and other spectators. Please follow the instructions from stewards and officials; these individuals add a great deal to the success of the event, also in your interest. It is prohibited to enter areas not explicitly open to spectators (i.e. the racetrack, escape routes and restricted areas). Not only do you endanger yourself and other visitors but also make yourself liable to prosecution for trespassing. Please help us protect the environment. If you want to dispose of litter please use the waste bins that are provided. Hockenheim-Ring GmbH is not liable for any damage to persons or property excepting those resulting from intentional violations or gross negligence of duties. This also applies to damage to hearing resulting from high noise levels due to engine noise. Please equip yourself with ear protection. Please be aware that photography in the grandstand is only possible to a limited extent and only for private purposes. More details can be found in the section photography and filming on our website www.hockenheimring.net/zuschauerordnung. The admission ticket holder agrees without being remunerated by the organiser to the fact that within the context of the event there will be pictures taken, copied, sent as well as used audio-visually. This agreement is not limited locally and is for an indefinite period of time. As everybody should be able to enjoy the motorsports offered at Hockenheimring Baden- Wuerttemberg, we ask you to respect these rules and show understanding for the supervisory staff. We hope you have a nice time and thank you for your attention. Your Hockenheim-Ring GmbH page 7
