RHL Activities Ltd Suite 1The Bryn Garage Penpergwm Abergavenny Monmouthshire

Once a rider has taken his position at the start gate, he cannot change it.

A rider is deemed to be under starters orders having been called to the start line, the starter will hold up a green flag from

which moment the riders are under his control, until all riders are on the start line. When all the riders are on the start

line, the starter will hold up a 15 second board for a full 15 seconds. At the end of the 15 seconds, he will hold up a 5

second board and the gate will drop between 5 and 10 seconds after the 5 second board is shown.

Riders who have mechanical problems in the waiting zone and do not succeed in repairing their motorcycle before the 15

second board is shown, must remain in the waiting zone until the gate has dropped. Once the gate has dropped they can

enter the starting area and resume the race. The penalty for violation of this regulation is disqualification from the race

in question.

Riders having mechanical problems at the starting gate must wait for assistance until after the gate has dropped. Once

the gate has dropped, their mechanic(s) may assist at the gate. The penalty for violation of this regulation is

disqualification from the race in question. Mechanics can only access the start area from the waiting zone and cannot

enter any other prohibited areas to carry out the task.

No one except riders and Officials shall be permitted to the area of the starting gate. Riders are allowed to groom the

area behind the start gate only, provided no tools are used or outside assistance provided.

Riders in the 65cc and 85SW class will be allowed assistance from the start line officials if necessary, by raising their

hand, to activate their launch control devices.

All riders must be able to sit astride their machine with one foot firmly on the ground and must be able to control gear

lever or the foot brake with the other foot.

3.11 False Starts

All false starts shall be indicated by waving a red flag. All riders will have to go back to the waiting zone and await

further announcements regarding the re-start.

A rider who has not been admitted in the initial start cannot be introduced after a false start.

In the case that the restart will take place immediately riders may only exchange their machine in the Waiting Zone.

In the case that the re-start will not take place immediately, riders will return to the waiting zone to be instructed if they

can return to the paddock and if so a change of machine will be allowed. The final choice must be made before the riders

are called to the start line, when the Waiting Zone will close.

3.12 Stopping a Race

The Clerk of the Course has the right, on his own initiative, for urgent safety reasons, or other cases of force majeure, to

stop a race prematurely or cancel a part or the whole of a meeting.

The Clerk of the Course may disqualify one or more riders, deemed to be at fault for the race being stopped, from taking

part in the restart.

If a race is stopped after the leader has completed 50% of the race distance, rounded down to the nearest number of laps

(which is a minimum of 3 laps to declare a result), it will be considered to have finished. The order of classification

shall be based upon the order of the last crossing the finish line prior to the showing of the red flag and only competitors

who are racing at the showing of the red flag and have completed 50% of the number of laps completed by the race

leader will be classified.

If a race is stopped after the leader(s) has taken the chequered flag they will be classified as having finished the race.

The order of classification for those riders who have not taken the chequered flag shall be based upon the order of the

last crossing the finish line prior to the showing of the red flag, and only competitors who are racing at the showing of

the red flag and have completed 50% of the overall race distance will be classified.
