Where can I find the rules?
The rules are available in the download section of the website.
The document contains organizational and technical regulations for the race.
What are the basic requirements for a vehicle?
Only serial-production vehicles with one driven axle (2WD) are permitted.
All-wheel drive vehicles (4WD), quads, buggies, off-road vehicles, tractors and monster trucks are prohibited.
The vehicle must be in good technical condition. A "pickerl" §57 is not necessary.
All other regulations for the vehicle can be found in the rules.
What do I have to consider during the technical inspection?
The technical inspection takes place before the race at the "Scrutineering" area.
The main points to be checked are:
- an allen vier Rädern Schmutzfänger
- stabile, schnell erreichbare und gut sichtbare Abschleppöse vorne und hinten (keine Stoffschlaufen)
- passende Sicherheitszelle lt. Reglement
- dem Reglement entsprechende Reifen
- Zusatzscheinwerfer dürfen nicht auf der Motorhaube oder am Dach montiert sein
- Feuerlöscher im Auto (min. 2kg ABC oder ähnliches)
- Feuerlöscher im Teamzelt (6kg ABC oder ähnliches)
- Sitz mit Kopfstütze & passendem Sicherheitsgurt (mindestens H-Gurt!)
- funktionierende Lichtanlage (Warnblinker, Bremslicht) & Scheibenwischer
- Auspuff – montierter Endschalldämpfer
- Lautstärkemessung bei der Transpondertestrunde
- Kühler an werkseitiger Position
- Kontrolle der Fahrzeugdaten vom Teamchef (Baujahr, Gewicht, Leistung)
If the vehicle does not comply with the rules, your team can of course make improvements.
Upon successful technical inspection, the vehicle receives a sticker on the windshield and is approved for the race.
A successfully passed technical inspection only means that the vehicle complies with the rules at the time of the scrutineering. The acceptance of the car or the label issued do not provide any information about driving safety.
Each team is responsible for the safety of their vehicle!
Is electricity available in the paddock?
Yes, there is a power supply for the participants of the race in the paddock.
Please take enough extension cables with you, as the way to the next distribution box can be quite long.
During the last races there were occasional power supply failures. If you have a power unit, it is advisable to take it with you.
