8. We expect you to marshal as you would expect to be marshalled please!
Anyone not out to marshal by the start of the next heat will lose their FTD.

We reserve the right to randomly check motors and batteries if we feel it is appropriate.

10. All motors must be commercially available. No specials, no hybrids. BL motors can be sensored or sensorless. Motors do not have to be on the BRCA approved lists, and can be any make and model that is commercially available in the UK.

11. PT’s would be preferred, but there is one bank of AMB transponders available.
All Cars should be going to scrutineering after each race so there is no excuse for Transponders not to be returned!

We would like to make it clear, that anyone who has not pre-paid online has NOT confirmed their booking.
