Regulations 2009

 

1/  Sporting Regulations

 

1/1 Title and Jurisdiction

 

“Equipe”Grand Tourismo-Sportif  (“Equipe”GTS) events are organised and administered by an independent and non-profit making group of enthusiasts.  These events do not constitute any form of championship and there will be no end of season overall winner or champion.

 

It is the intention of the organisers to create a friendly, gentlemanly and non-aggressive series of good-value longer-distance events for high profile cars with competent drivers. Therefore, a high standard of both car presentation and driver’s behaviour both on and off the track is both expected and demanded.

 

Entrants should be aware that the organising committee, whilst realising that race incidents can happen, will not accept nor tolerate poor, overtly aggressive or dangerous driving standards.

 

The driver of any car damaged during an “Equipe”GTS event must seek approval from a member of the organising committee before they may continue to compete any further in the “Equipe”GTS race series.

 

Any driver or car failing to meet the standard approved by the organising committee will receive a written “Yellow Card” warning.  Any further infringements within a one year period may result in an automatic exclusion from the series.
