Seat Nets (aka Center net): No requirements for installation No date requirements Seat Belts: BCCR 3.4.2. All driver restraint systems shall meet SFI or FIA specifications.

Clifford Beisler Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Not much chatter about this race. I know NLS is looking forward to it. Is anyone running the HPDE friday to get track time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Stephens Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Yeah, just eight days away and no banter? Perhaps it has something to do with the absence of Brewe Krewe from the entry list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bill Strong Posted February 26, 2021 Author Administrators Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 2021 VIR South 12-Hour All kinds of good information here! First, please read the Supplemental Rules here. And, as soon as you read them, expect that there may be changes. Covid is still a thing and the regulations at VIR are evolving. So this is probably a good time to cover the current situation. VIR is open for racing, but VIR is not open to the public. That means no one classified as a "spectator" is allowed entry. Only registered participants in the event will be allowed in. Which is actually ok, because ChampCar is not insured for spectators anyway. What does registered participant mean? Every member of your team must be pre-registered as either a Driver or a Crewmember. Right now there is no limit on the number of persons on your crew, we are not subject to the 250 limit like we were in December. I will still a complete list of the registered participants from our system and email it to the track the day before the race. The gate security staff will validate the name of each person against this list. In short, you can bring as many personnel for your team as you need, but they must be members of ChampCar and listed on your team's Registration page. So...... Are spectators allowed? No.. Every person coming must be a member of ChampCar and registered with a team. Do they have to pay for a membership? Yes. Only current ChampCar members can be added to a team's roster. Can they buy a one-day pass at the gate? No. All members of your team must be regular members and listed in advance on your team's roster. What about minors? Excellent question. Minors between 16-18 years old who are ChampCar members with a completed Minor Waiver and who are registered to participate can attend. Are you new to ChampCar, new to racing, or just want a good refresher on ChampCar rules and how we run a race? Please take some time and watch our New to ChampCar video here. Your Drivers Meeting video is here. All drivers and crewmembers going over the wall need to watch this video. And now for something completely different.. Let's talk about Flagtronics. The team at Flagtronics has been working hard for a while now, developing and improving the system, and we're going to take another step at this race. Flagtronics is bringing enough units to install one in every car. I'll pause while the rejoicing settles down. How will it work? When you come through Registration you'll get a Flagtronics unit. Registration will make sure the unit ID number is recorded for your team, then you follow the directions and mount it in your car. How do I mount it? Excellent question, it's pretty simple. Mount the unit where the driver can see it, mount the antenna where it can get signal, and plug the unit in. You'll need 12v power, either a cigarette lighter or USB plug will work. Check out page 31 of the rule book for more info. How much does it cost? Another good question, with a great answer. Nothing. Because we are test running the system, we are loaning you the device for the race. Because people forget and drive home with things (like our Transponders) we will hold a credit card until you return the unit. Now, for the important detail. The Flagtronics system only shows the condition of the entire track, so yes, you still have to watch the flag stations for local yellows. But, since VIR uses the Code 35 while service vehicles are on-track, the Flagtronics unit should be in use anytime we are under the Code 35. You still need to watch the flag stations. There will be cases where Caution Flags are displayed locally. The Flagtronics system will still alert you that the Caution is coming out around the entire course. You still need to check the flag stations for details in your area (standing, waving, Code 35, White, etc). Ok, on to the new Tech stuff. We have been saying for a while that we are going to make the Tech form live online so teams can enter their own point values directly into their Registration. Well, that time is now and the form is live! Team Captains you will find a new button on the main landing page when you login to ChampCar. The button labeled submit a Tech Form will take you to an online Tech Sheet. Simply complete the online version of the form just like you would for your paper form and your point values will be saved. At the track the Tech staff will simply check your safety gear and you'll be done. Do you have to complete the online tech form? No, but we are Beta testing it and the more teams who complete it, the quicker we can trouble shoot it and make it work for everyone. Some last things... Please take a few minutes to review your team's registration. Checking things like membership status for each driver and your payment balance can make the check-in process go much quicker. We've been working with our friends at Hooked on Driving to run some events together and allow ChampCar teams the chance to practice. HOD is running out of the North Paddock on Thursday and Friday. Pricing is available for ChampCar teams. If you're interested in more information, checkout HOD's website for registration details. If you have any questions about the race please feel free to email me here. Anything else? Wait, someone in the back is yelling something about pot stills... I'm not sure what a "pot still" is, but that reminds about Pit Stalls, your pit assignments are here. Thanks very much! Your ChampCar Staff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
