d) From 10:00 until 11:00 and 13:00 until 14:30 on Sunday.

1/4

Any team found to be abusing the time limits set out above, which we will be enforced by FIA security personnel and our own CCTV, will not be permitted to use the weighbridge again during the Event.

6. Red zones for photographers in the pit lane during practice sessions

6.1 See the attached drawing.

7. Practice starts

7.1 Practice starts may only be carried out at the pit exit on the right-hand side and, for the avoidance of doubt, this includes any time the pit exit is open for the race.

7.2 For reasons of safety and sporting equity, cars may not stop in the fast lane of the pits at any time the pit exit is open without a justifiable reason (a practice start is not considered a justifiable reason).

8. Lines or bollards at the Pit Entry and Pit Exit

8.1 In accordance with Chapter 4 (Section 5) of Appendix L to the ISC drivers must keep to the right of the solid white line at the pit exit when leaving the pits. No part of any car leaving the pits may cross this line.

8.2 For safety reasons drivers must keep to the right of the bollard at the pit entry when they are entering the pits.

8.3 Except in the cases of force majeure (accepted as such by the Stewards), the crossing, in any direction, of the red/white/green chevron separating the pit entry and the track by a driver who, in the opinion of the Stewards, had committed to entering the pit lane is prohibited.

8.4 The dotted white line across the pit exit is the track edge.

9. Observing yellow flags during free practice and qualifying

9.1 Double waved: Any driver passing through a double waved yellow marshalling sector must reduce speed significantly and be prepared to change direction or stop. In order for the stewards to be satisfied that any such driver has complied with these requirements it must be clear that he has not attempted to set a meaningful lap time, for practical purposes this means the driver should abandon the lap (this does not necessarily mean he has to pit as the track could well be clear the following lap).

9.2 Single waved: Drivers should reduce their speed and be prepared to change direction. It must be clear that a driver has reduced speed and, in order for this to be clear, a driver would be expected to have braked earlier and/or discernibly reduced speed in the relevant marshalling sector.

Drivers should not overtake any car in a single waved yellow marshalling sector unless it is clear that a car is slowing with a completely obvious problem, e.g. obvious accident damage or a deflated tyre.

10. Track light panels

10.1 The FIA track light panels have been installed in the positions shown on the circuit map. In accordance with Appendix H to the ISC the light signals have the same meaning as flag signals.

11. Drivers leaving their pit stop position in the pit lane

11.1 For safety reasons, no car should be driven from its pit stop position at any time unless:

a) It has first been driven into the pit stop position having just entered the pit lane from the track, and;

b) It is then driven immediately back onto the track from the pit stop position.

12. Fire extinguishers around the circuit

12.1 Indicated by white boards with a red letter "F".

2/4

13. Places to remove cars from the track

13.1 Indicated by fluorescent orange panels on the walls or guardrails.

13.2 If a driver has a choice where to stop during a session, it is recommended they do so on the right hand side of the track as cars may then be recovered more easily and brought back to the pits.

14. Spectator Pit Walk and Support races team barrier placement

14.1 Team barrier placement prior to and during all support category practice sessions and races: No more than three metres from the garages.

14.2 It is not permitted to push cars to the weighing area at any time a support category is in pit lane.

14.3 As a large number of spectators are expected in the Pit Lane on Thursday afternoon between 16.15hrs and 18.15hrs. Please ensure any cars being pushed to the weighing area during this time are kept behind the barriers the Organiser intends to erect at the edge of the fast lane. Teams must not use the fast lane to push their cars to the scales garage during this time.

15. In laps during qualifying and reconnaissance laps

15.1 In order to ensure that cars are not driven unnecessarily slowly on in laps during and after the end of qualifying or during reconnaissance laps when the pit exit is opened for the race, drivers must stay below the maximum time set by the FIA between the Safety Car lines shown on the pit lane map.

You will be informed of the maximum time after the first day of practice.

16. Post qualifying parc fermé

16.1 The cameras should be installed and operated in the same way as usual.

17. Operational personnel curfew

17.1 Boards warning anyone attempting to enter the paddock that the curfew is in operation will be placed immediately before the turnstiles at the appropriate times.

18. Removing cars from the grid

18.1 Two gates in the pit wall, the first is adjacent to grid position 4 and the second adjacent to grid position 18.

18.2 The pit lane has a small ramp down from the track which may result in cars grounding when pushed off the grid. It is therefore important that someone from your team is present, close to the gate nearest your grid positions, to assist marshals if a car has to be pushed off the grid after the start of the formation lap or after the start of the race.

19. Car number light panels for the start

19.1 On the right-hand side of the grid.

20. Track light panel displaying pit entry status

20.1 The light panels indicated on the pit lane map will display flashing yellow arrows if cars are required to use the pit lane once the Safety Car has been deployed during the race.

20.2 The light panels indicated on the pit lane map will display flashing red crosses if the pit lane is closed at any point during the race.

21. Lapping during the race

21.1 The ISC requires drivers who are caught by another car about to lap him to allow the faster driver past at the first available opportunity. The F1 Marshalling System has been developed in order to ensure that the point at which a driver is shown blue flags is consistent, rather than trusting the ability of marshals to identify situations that require blue flags.

3/4

As it was at the end of last season the system will be set to give a pre-warning when the faster car is within 3.0s of the car about to be lapped, this should be used by the team of the slower car to warn their driver he is soon going to be lapped and that allowing the faster car through should be considered a priority. When the faster car is within 1.2s of the car about to be lapped blue flags will be shown to the slower car (in addition to blue light panels, blue cockpit lights and a message on the timing monitors) and the driver must allow the following driver to overtake at the first available opportunity.

It should be noted that the aim of using F1MS is ensure consistent application of the rules, additional instructions may also be given by race control when necessary.

22. Post race parc fermé

22.1 All cars must enter the pit lane and should proceed directly to the weighing area.

23. Any other business
