All information contained in this stewards briefing is created with the purpose of ensuring we have stable events, so CANZ administrators appreciate that everyone follows this information along with adhering to the CANZ sporting regulations.

Qualifying Procedure:
For the Sportscar Championship Series (SCS) we will be splitting qualifying for GT and LMP vehicles into two groups. The session will be set to 30 minutes, GT cars will qualify in the first 15 minutes of the session, after 15 minutes are up they must complete the lap they are on and then return to pit lane (driver MUST drive back to pits, do not jump back to pit lane). LMP's will have 10 minutes from the 16 minute mark. At 26 minutes they must complete the lap they are on and then drive back to pit lane. In the last four minutes take note of who qualified ahead of you in your class as you will be starting behind them.


Always keep note of who has qualified ahead of you in your class so you know who to start behind at the start of the race. It is your responsibility to keep note of this otherwise you may need to start from the back of the field.

Starting Procedure:
The first lap of the race will be consumed for the rolling start to allow runners to get into their positions in LMP/GT groups (having previously noted who they are to start behind), the LMP field will lead the group at a safe speed around the installation lap and will form into 2x2 out of the last corner for the race start and reduce speed to 60kph to group the field up.

The pole position driver will control the field, the circuit will be considered green out of the last corner of the circuit and the pole position driver may chose to start the race at any point between the exit of the last corner and the start/finish line, at this point the race will start regardless of if the pole position driver has accellerated or not.

Pit Entry and Exit:
As always pit entry must be communicated with surrounding drivers early to ensure no incidents arise as a result of a vehicle heading into pit lane.

On pit exit, communicate clearly that you are exiting and ensure that you stay to the right if other traffic is in the area as turn 3 is a tight right hander.

Thanks guys, have a good race!
