General Procedures
On-Site Registration Process
When arriving at FSA you first have to come to registration booth at the road leading to the Red Bull
Ring. Only afterwards you will be allowed to enter the paddock area.
It is not allowed to park your vehicles on this road – please use the nearest parking lot.
The registration has to be done by the team captain. Please do not bring more than two or three
team members to the registration.
To streamline the registration process and ensure short waiting times for everyone, please only come
to the registration booth if you all of the following items ready:


Cost Addendum (if applicable)

have the exact amount ready if possible
The License Plate number of the Vehicle you want to park in the paddock
The knowledge who your Faculty Advisor/Safety Responsible (E-Cars only)/Team Captain is
If you want to register additional team members, a list of their names
If you do not have all of these things ready you will have to re-queue. So please be prepared!
At the end of the registration process you will get the following things among others. You will also be
asked to sign for them, so please check if you got all of them.

Pits
After you enter the paddock area with your team vehicle, please follow the instructions of the Pit
Marshall about vehicle parking.
You can identify your pit either by the plan below or the sign with your team name above it.
The doors to the pit lane have to remain closed at all times – breaking this rule will lead to immediate
penalties up to disqualification.
Usage of tools that are noisy or represent a fire hazard (angle grinder, Dremel, welder,…) is
prohibited. Please go to the power tool & welding area near the tilt table to work with them.

Services
Tire Changing
Tire change is available on request – please come to the event control to arrange an appointment.
Printing
Printing Services are offered by our Partner AVL at the AVL Booth in the pits.
Free WiFi
Free WiFi is available around the Event Control. Instructions will be posted at the Event Control
Entrance.
Flipchart Paper
If you need flipchart pages for your Cost Presentation, you can get them at the Event Control.
Results & Announcements
Results and Announcements will be posted to the Glass Entrance of the Event Control.
Leaving the Event & Final Gala
After the Endurance is over you should pack up and leave your Pit by 1900. After you have a FSA
Official inspect your pit for cleanliness and have returned the Dynamic Jackets to the Event Control,
you will be handed the vouchers for food and drinks at the Award ceremony
Ramp to the Dynamic Area
The ramp to the dynamic area is quite steep – so make sure that you have a driver properly seated in
the car so that he is able to brake the car.
Like on the rest of the site it is only allowed to move the car at walking pace.
Smoking
Smoking is only allowed next to the provided Ashtrays on the site.
Emergencies
If you have small injuries, please go to the medical center at the end of the pit lane.
For major Emergencies and off-site accidents call the European emergency number 112.

Scrutineering
Tech
Scrutineering is done on a first-come-first-served basis.
The Scrutineering pit is a “dynamic area” so you need your dynamic jackets to enter
If you get sent back to your pit for repairs/adjustments, you have to re-queue in the “continue”
queue
After you complete tech, you may do the driver egress check. All drivers have to come there to have
their driver’s ID checked and to receive their driver’s wristband.
Tilt & Noise
To make sure that the car is in ready-to-run configuration for the official weighing at the tilt table,
you will be required to do the noise test immediately after the tilt test. Also you need to mount the
tire & rim combination that you intend to run in dry conditions. If you are not able to do the noise
test (no fuel, missing parts, etc…), you will be required to re-do tilt &weighing before the next
attempt.
Brake Test
The maximum amount of attempts per run is 3. After that you will have to re-queue for the brake
test.

Dynamic Events
Event Closing
The Events will terminate at the time indicated in the schedule unless announced otherwise.
When the Event is over, a horn will sound. Cars that have already been green-flagged may complete
their run (i.e. go over the finish line once).
So please be sure to queue on time!
Brake Lights
Please note that a non-functioning brake light (never/always on) is considered a safety issue and that
a car having this problem may be black-flagged during the endurance.
Working on the cars inside the dynamic area
During Skidpad and Acceleration working on the car is not allowed in the lanes leading up to the
starting line. If you need to adjust your wings/pedals etc. between the runs, you have to leave the
lane.
During Autocross and Endurance work is allowed in the staging area (the area where you can warm
up your engine etc.) but not in the lane leading up to the starting line.
Using external Batteries to start the car is acceptable inside the dynamic Area but is prohibited as
soon as the car is moving under its own power. If the car stalls and is not able to restart without
assistance it has to abort the attempt and re-queue.
