2017 PRO RACING REGULATIONS

Version 01: 01.01.2017

GRW Racing Enterprises, LLC — DBA Formula Race Promotions (FRP) operates The F1600, F2000 and Atlantic Championship Series. These Series are designed to offer close competition to an inclusive group of open wheel, single seat formula cars operating under a set of clearly defined rules in single class racing.

One of the main tenets of the FRP series is ‘vertical integration’ between Amateur Regional, National and Professional level competition. The ability of competitors currently racing in club competition to be welcome to participate in the Series with minimal alterations to their equip-ment is tantamount. This allows any Sports Car Club of America [SCCA] legal Formula Conti-nental/Formula F or FA car, per the SCCA General Competition Rules [GCR], to enter and compete on as level a playing field as can be formulated.

The Series above all is focused on creating a professional atmosphere where drivers, teams and officials can both expand their horizons and enjoy the experience.

Formula Race Promotions Events are sanctioned by the United States Auto Club, known as “USAC Racing” (hereafter “USAC”). FRP derives its PRO RACING REGULATIONS, (set forth herein, the “PRR”) from a blend of custom and various standard operating Racing Rules. Should any portion of these PRR or regulations for an individual FRP Series conflict with USAC’s Rules and/or regulations or the “USAC Official Competition Rules”, that would invali-date the Sanctioning and Insurance of FRP events by USAC (Per agreement between FRP and USAC), then those portions of the USAC’s Rules and/or regulations shall prevail.

FRP’s Pro Racing Rules and Regulations (PRR) set forth herein are intended to assist in the orderly conduct of FRP race events and to further participant and spectator safety. This is a guide and in no way a guarantee against injury or death to participants, spectators, or others. No expressed or implied warranties of safety or fitness for a particular purpose shall be intend-ed or result from publication or compliance with these rules. All event participants compete at their own risk.

The FRP PRR, complete with updates from current season Technical Bulletins, is available on the FRP Series Websites.

INTRODUCTION

The following General Regulations apply to all FRP Professional Racing Series and Events. Regulations specific to a particular series and supplementary regulations are written to be in conformity with the General Regulations. Together they comprise FRP’s Pro Racing Regula-tions (“PRR”). The PRR shall be applied in a reasonable and logical manner. It shall not be given strained, or tortured, interpretations. The PRR is a permissive document. Unless an item is specifically authorized by the PRR it shall be considered forbidden. References to PRR in this rule book include PRR versions as published on the FRP series websites, as well as “Technical Bulletins,” “Participant Bulletins,” “Pro Racing Memos,” “Technical Notes,” “Chief Steward Brief-ing Notes,” and “Supplementary Regulations”, and other materials as appropriate and designat-ed by FRP.

As of January first of each year, the PRR for that year shall supersede all versions from previ-ous years including all Technical and Participant Bulletins. To the extent those regulations for an individual Series conflict with these General Regulations, the individual Series regulations shall prevail.

Should any portion of these PRR or regulations for an individual FRP Series conflict with the USAC Official Competition Rules that would invalidate the Sanctioning and Insurance of FRP events by USAC (Per agreement between FRP and USAC), then those portions of the USAC Official Competition Rules shall prevail.

The masculine pronouns ‘he,’ ‘him,’ or ‘his’ will be used generically, without actual reference to gender. The word “may”, when used, gives the option of doing something. The words “shall” and “must”, when used, require that it be done. The word “and”, when used, means that more than one listed item must be performed, used, etc. The word “or”, when used, means that one listed item may be performed, used, etc. The word combination “and/or”, when used, means that any, or all, of the listed items may be performed, used, etc.

If there is not a definition of a word in these PRR, then the standard definition of the word from Webster’s Dictionary shall be used (e.g. “round”, “parallel”).

The following text styles will be used to indicated changes made in the indicated time frame: - Changes made in the previous season via technical bulletin. - Changes made in the off season.

- Changes made in the current season via technical bulletin.

Race events are conducted under the PRR and regulations issued for the individual Series un-less otherwise specified.

FRP reserves the right to disallow any part, change/modify any specification, and/or change/modify any rule or regulation when/if it is deemed necessary at its sole discretion. The PRR shall not constitute an expressed or implied warranty of safety or fitness for a particular purpose. All event participants assume all risks of any nature associated with their presence at and/or participation in an FRP Racing event, or activity.

ARTICLE 1.4: GENERAL REGULATIONS

1.4.1: Only properly registered Car/Driver Combinations with drivers licensed per Article 1.5 shall be allowed to drive in timed sessions. Car/ Driver Combinations which are not compliant with the PRR may not be allowed on track in timed sessions. Drivers shall drive only one car per class unless a back-up car is used (see Article 1.4.2.7 for back-up car procedures). A driver shall only drive one car per timed session.

1.4.2: QUALIFYING 1.8.2.2:

AMB Transponders shall be used as the official timing system of FRP. All cars are required to use timing transponders. Transponders shall be mounted in accordance with the instructions given by the CHIEF OF TECH. Cars without a working transpon-der will not be timed.

1.4.2.1: Each driver will qualify for a starting position during the qualifying session(s). It shall be the car/driver combination, which qualifies for a starting posi-tion. Each driver shall be considered officially qualified only if the car/driver combi-nation sets a qualifying time.

1.4.2.2: Car/driver combinations gridded without a qualifying time shall start from the rear of the grid, at the discretion of FRP

1.4.2.3: Ties in qualifying times shall be resolved as follows: The second fastest lap of each of the cars involved shall break the tie, (i.e., the car with the lowest of the second-fastest times will be gridded ahead of the car with the slower second-fastest time). If there is still a tie, then the third fastest times will be used, and so forth, until the tie is broken. If a tie still exists after all times are compared in the above manner, the tie will be broken by the CHIEF OF TIMING & SCORING flipping a coin with both drivers present.

1.4.2.4: To qualify for the starting grid, the car/driver combination must achieve a time not slower than 107% of the average time for the fastest three (3) qualifiers. This rule may be waived at the discretion of the CHIEF STEWARD where he be-lieves a car/driver combination would be competitive.

1.4.2.5: Any dispute, or alleged inaccuracies, in qualifying, or race, results shall be addressed to the Series CHIEF OF TIMING AND SCORING (or if unavailable, to the RACE DIRECTOR or other FRP Official) within 30 minutes of publication (see Arti-cle 1.11.2.4).

1.4.2.6: FRP may alter the qualifying procedures, and/or schedule, at their discre-tion. Alternate qualifying procedures may be, but are not limited to:


- One car at a time: warm-up lap, timed lap(s).

- Dividing the cars into groups, each group using a portion of the scheduled quali-fying period. A qualifying session so divided will be considered one qualifying session.

- The details of these, or other alternate, qualifying procedures will be outlined at a drivers’ meeting, or by written notice, or by radio over the series frequency or by such other means as deemed appropriate by FRP. No other notice of this change is required.

- Note: If the qualifying session must be cancelled, the grid will be determined on driver points. If no points have been established for the season, the grid may be determined by practice times, or other procedure as determined and announced by FRP. If qualifying is cancelled, no points will be awarded for qualifying.

1.4.2.7: ONE DRIVER/TWO CAR ENTRIES In the case of one driver being entered in two cars, the following shall apply: Back-up entries may be accepted at anytime at the discretion of the CHIEF STEWARD. All back-up entries must satisfactorily complete a safety inspection prior to entering the pits, or course.

- The driver will be allowed to practice, and qualify both cars, provided the back-up car is so designated by a supplementary marking, and provided the CHIEF STEWARD and TIMING / SCORING are notified before the back-up car is used.

- A driver is not permitted to change cars during a timed qualifying session; he may only drive one car in any given timed qualifying session. If a back-up car is used during a timed qualifying session, it can only be used in a session in which the primary car has not been used.

- If a driver qualifies two cars, he must notify the CHIEF STEWARD within one-half hour after the close of the final qualifying session as to which car he will drive in the race.

- Upon notification, the CHIEF STEWARD will have the starting grid prepared reflecting the decisions of the driver(s) involved.

- If the car which the driver selected to race is unable to start, the driver will be allowed to start from the back of the grid with his back-up car.

1.4.2.8: SUBSTITUTE DRIVERS A substitute driver may be allowed, provided:

- FRP grants approval: a substitute driver is only allowed at the discretion of FRP with prior approval.


- Only one car/driver combination is allowed each race and the corresponding qualifying session. It shall be the car/driver combination which qualifies for a starting position. A car shall be driven by only one driver per session.

- The CHIEF STEWARD and TIMING / SCORING shall be notified of a change of driver at least one hour before the beginning of the next session for that class.

- Should a driver desire to be substituted after the qualifying session but before the race, qualifying times from other qualifying sessions will NOT be allowed, and the car/driver shall start from the rear of the grid, at the discretion of FRP.

- In the situation where only one qualifying session determines the start order for multiple races, only the car/driver combination receiving a qualifying time in that session will be considered qualified, other car/driver combinations shall start from the rear of the grid, at the discretion of FRP.

- In the situation where the start order is determined by lap times from an ear-lier race, a substitute driver in any subsequent race(s) will be considered as having NOT qualified, and shall start from the rear of the grid, at the discretion of FRP.

- Failure to carry out the above procedure will void all qualifying times for the car, and may void all race results.

1.4.3: STARTING POSITIONS 1.4.3.1: Car/driver combinations will be positioned on the starting grid in the order of their qualifying times, with the fastest combination at the front. Pole position will always be on the same side as the inside of the first turn. Alternative grid positions may be designated at the discretion of the CHIEF STEWARD. 1.4.3.2: The CHIEF STEWARD may, in the event of an unfilled grid, add to the rear of the starting grid, cars which were unable to qualify during the qualifying sessions. 1.4.3.3: FRP, in its sole discretion, may add additional classes of cars to any run group. FRP will determine the appropriate method of determining starting positions that may differ from 1.4.3.1. 1.4.3.4: If cars are moved to the back of the grid, they will be gridded in the follow-ing order;

1. Cars without a qualifying time, but being permitted to start by CHIEF STEWARD, will be gridded in order of their fastest practice lap.

2. Then, cars moving to the back of the grid voluntarily will be gridded in order of their fastest qualifying lap.


3. Then, cars being penalized after qualifying due to non-technical infractions will be gridded in order of their fastest qualifying lap.

4. Then, cars being penalized due to technical infractions will be gridded in order of their fastest qualifying lap.

1.4.3.5: Cars unable to start on the grid when the field is released for the pace lap, may, at the discretion of the GRID MARSHAL, be allowed to push start provid-ed they can retain their position without disruption. Should disruption to the orderly release of cars occur, in the sole judgement of the GRID MARSHAL, that car will be halted and 1.4.3.6 will control. FAILURE to heed the commands of the GRID MARSHAL may result in fines/penalties and/or disqualification. 1.4.3.6: False Grid will close at the discretion of the GRID MARSHAL.

1.4.3.7: Cars that fall out of position on the grid, or fall out of position on the pace lap, shall relinquish their position, and must join the race at the rear of the field. There must be no passing on the pace lap(s). Such cars may be either held at pit out until the field has begun its first scored lap, or may be dispatched on the pace lap to assume a position at the rear of the field, at the discretion of the CHIEF STEWARD.

1.4.4: GENERAL TECHNICAL PROCEDURES 1.4.4.1: SAFETY INSPECTION

At the beginning of each season the CHIEF OF TECH, or his designees, will conduct an annual inspection of each entered car. At the beginning of each event, the CHIEF OF TECH, or his designees, will conduct a safety inspection of entered vehicles that are new to the Series and have not had an annual inspection. Before going on track for an official session, all cars shall complete the annual/safety inspection for their particular series, including having the driver’s gear and cockpit fitment checked.

Upon verification of conformance, an annual tech sticker (or other indication) will be placed on the main roll bar hoop at driver’s left. The annual tech sticker will be with-held from any vehicle that does not comply with the Required Safety Specifications. If the tech sticker is withheld, it is the team’s responsibility to meet with the CHIEF OF TECH to determine what action is required to achieve compliance. The CHIEF OF TECH will maintain inspection records of each entered car.

1.4.4.1.a: Head & Neck Restraints The use of a head and neck restraint system that has been certified in accor-

dance with SFI 38.1, FIA 8858-2002 or 8858-2010 is required to be used by all

competing drivers during any official practice, qualifying, or race session.; an

SFI 38.1 or FIA 8858-2002 or 8858-2010 label must be properly affixed to the de-

vice. The use of arm restraints is optional and not mandatory.


1.4.4.1.b: Driver’s Safety Kit

It is suggested and encouraged that all drivers have their name on their helmet, and affix a “pouch” of Vital Information to include at minimum: Name; Age; Blood Type; Allergies; Contact Lens Alert. For a commercially available "driver's info helmet pouch", see: http://www.idformyhelmet.com/

1.4.4.2: Issuance of the tech sticker is not an endorsement of the performance of the vehicle, nor an indication that the vehicle meets all of the required Technical Specifi-cations. The tech sticker signifies that the vehicle has passed the initial Safety Inspec-tion and will be permitted to go on course during scheduled practice, qualifying and race sessions.

1.4.4.3: Any car which after being passed by a technical inspector is dismantled, or modified, in any way which might affect its safety, or call into question its eligibili-ty, or which is involved in an accident with similar consequences, must be re-pre-sented by the team for approval by the CHIEF OF TECH, or his designees.

If there is damage to the chassis of the vehicle, the tech sticker shall be removed from the vehicle. A new tech sticker may be issued after the vehicle is repaired and re-in-spected.

1.4.4.4: The official scales, and any other measuring tools, will be available for team use when they are not being used for official impound, at the discretion of the CHIEF OF TECH, or his designees.

1.4.4.5: After the conclusion of each qualifying session, and race, one, or more, cars in each class will be selected by the CHIEF OF TECH for verification of legality.

Finishing positions will be determined according to the number of laps completed regardless of whether the car is running at the finish. Cars completing the same number of laps will be ranked according to the time taken to complete those laps. To be classified as a “finish-er,” a car must complete at least 50% of the laps completed by the race winner. If the number of laps completed by the race winner is an odd number, the number needed to count as 50% will be rounded down to the next whole lap.

1.8.4.1: TIMED RACES or TIME-LIMITED DISTANCE RACES As directed by the CHIEF STEWARD, Timing and Scoring will keep the official time and distance, and will announce whether the race will be a time, or distance, compe-tition along with the laps remaining.

and there shall be no transcript of the hearing unless the Court determines oth-erwise. - The Court of Appeals, in an appeal from a Chief Steward’s Protest Hearing, shall

not consider matters appealed but not assigned as protestable error in the origi-


nal protest, nor shall it consider matters not assigned as protestable error in the original protest. - The Court of Appeals shall not consider matters outside the scope of the sub-

mission by the recipient of the Notice of Appeal, except for procedural rulings by the recipient.

1.12.7: Structure of the Appeal Hearing The Chief Judge shall ensure that the following structure is observed:

A. Opening Statements - The parties to the proceedings will be permitted to make opening statements, with the member making the appeal being the first to make an opening statement. In particular each party should be asked to state the is-sue(s) before the Court of Appeals and a brief summary of the position of the party with respect to such issue(s).

B. Order of Proof - The evidence shall be received by the Court of Appeals in the following order:

1. The member making the appeal shall first submit and present evidence in support of the appeal, both oral and documentary.

2. Upon the completion of direct examination, each witness shall be subject to cross-examination by the other parties, or by any judge of the Court of Appeals or Counsel for the Court of Appeals.

3. Parties representing USAC and other parties, if any, against whom the appeal is taken shall then be allowed to present evidence, both oral and documentary.

4. Any witnesses thus presented shall likewise be subject to cross-examination by the appellant, by other parties, and by any member of the Court of Appeals or Counsel for the Court of Appeals.

C. Closing Arguments - Upon completion of the evidentiary portion of the hearing, all parties, beginning with the appellant, will be provided with the opportunity to make closing arguments.

1.12.8: Powers of the Court of Appeals The Court of Appeals shall have the following powers:

A. To call, examine and cross-examine witnesses; B. To receive and rule upon relevant evidence; C. To regulate the course of the hearing and, if appropriate or necessary, to ex-

clude persons or counsel for contemptuous conduct and to strike and disre-gard all testimony of witnesses refusing to answer proper questions;

D. To dispose of procedural requests, motions or similar matters; E. To dismiss appeals or portions thereof;


F. To require a party at any time to state its position concerning any issue in the appeal or its theory in support thereof;

G. To pronounce a just remedy within the USAC By-Laws and Official Competi-tion Rules for the penalty, result or circumstance at issue, but it shall not be empowered to order any completed competition to be rerun;

H. To order the appellant against whom a final decision is rendered to pay all costs and expenses, including a reasonable attorney’s fee, incurred by USAC;

I. To make such order as to the return or forfeiture of the appeal fee as it may think fit;

J. To take any other action deemed appropriate for a just and expeditious con-clusion of the hearing.

1.12.9: Limitations The Court of Appeals may interpret the rules and regulations and apply them to the particular facts presented to it, but it shall have no authority or power to create, add to, subtract from or in any way modify any of the rules and regulations or any of the supplements thereto, nor shall it have the authority to change a mandatory penalty, to modify the terms of the penalties authorized in Part X, or to create penalties not listed in Part X.

1.12.10: Publication of Judgment The United States Auto Club shall have the right to publish or cause to be published a judgment on appeal, and to state the names of all parties interested. The persons re-ferred to in such publication shall have no right of action against the United States Auto Club or against any person publishing such notice.

1.12.11: USAC Appeal Procedure Final Decisions of USAC executive race officials on interpretation of rules, scoring of posi-tions and penalties shall be final unless such decisions and penalties are protestable under these rules and are protested and appealed within the time limitations and oth-er procedures prescribed by these rules. Any unappealed protest decision by a USAC executive race official or any appeal decision by a USAC Court of Appeals on these or any other matters to come before it shall be final and binding. No court action of any kind may be taken. Any participant in a USAC sanctioned race meeting waives any rights such participant may have to be a party or to take any action in court seek-ing legal or equitable relief against any decision or action of any kind by USAC or any of its race officials. A participant’s exclusive right to contest a decision or the rules or regulations of USAC is within the protest and appeal procedure of USAC, and any decision reached within this procedure is final.


1.12.12: Compliance With Procedures Any appeal, which fails to comply with the foregoing requirements, may be dismissed and disregarded. Any error not specifically raised in the appeal shall be deemed to have been waived. Errors not specifically set forth in a Chief Steward’s Protest Hear-ing may not be considered on appeal.
