- El campeonato Gallego se corre bajo normas AECAR, salvo las modificaciones aprobadas por la asamblea, como es el caso de los recogecoches que este año serán los propios pilotos.

- Cualquier punto poco claro tanto en el reglamento como en las modificaciones se regirá por el reglamento inmediatamente superior, en este caso EFRA.

- La duda en cuestión se basa en que pasa cuando un piloto no se puede poner de recogecoches por impedimento físico. Os adjunto el punto del reglamente EFRA que lo aclara al final del texto y os dejo lo más importante traducido a continuación:

1º.- El piloto ha de ser quien este en su puesto de recogecoches

2º.- En caso de impedimento físico, el piloto ha de comunicárselo a la dirección de carrera al inicio de la prueba e identificar a quien se pondrá en su lugar de recogecoches. Es decir, las organizaciones no tienen obligación de poner a nadie en lugar del piloto que no pueda, es el propio piloto quien debe indicar esta situación y quien será su sustituto.

Incluso el reglamento va más lejos e indica que el piloto debe estar a disposición de dirección de carrera en las mangas, subfinales o final que le tocaría estar en pista recogiendo coches, para así evitar que tenga ventaja sobre sus compañeros de manga o subfinal.

Todo esto no quiere decir que si la organización tiene a alguien disponible sea esa persona la que ocupe el puesto del piloto o que por las características del circuito se pueda disputar igual la manga, subfinal o final con un recogecoches menos.

El punto en cuestión del reglamente es el  8.15 que os adjunto a continuación haciendo click en leer mas...

8.15. MARSHALLING

Positions for marshals must be spread equally around the track and may not

obstruct the vision of the drivers.

The positions must be numbered. When a position is located at a dangerous part

of the track (i.e. the straight or a fast corner), this position must be equipped with

protection for the Marshal (a wall, tires, a gate etc.).

The marshal’s position must be furnished with gloves and/or other protection

and a safety jacket which is compulsory to wear. For IC events, it is preferred that

the marshal position is also equipped with a plastic or wood baton as an aid to

kill a running engine.

If a host club is not able to provide marshals the following rules take effect:

8.15.1 Only drivers taking part in the competition may and must marshal the heat

following their own, (subject to 8.15.4). The first heat will be marshalled by the

drivers of the last heat.

Other than running marshals, all other marshals must remain at their posts until

replaced. No other persons, except officials are allowed on the track while the

race is in progress.

8.15.2 Failure to marshal or provide a competent substitute will result in the loss of the

driver’s best qualifying time if qualifying by Fastest Time is in operation. The loss

of the best points score will be the result if qualifying is it is by the Round by

Round system.

Failure to marshal is clarified as: not being at the correct marshalling point 30

seconds prior to the start of a qualifying heat or final.

A substitute marshal is only allowed if the driver is physically disabled

- Notification of the substitute must be made to the Race Director prior to the

start of the race which the driver is racing in.

- If a substitute is being used for the whole event, notification must be made

prior to the beginning of the first Time Practice Round.

- The driver who is substituted must stay at the Race Director’s disposal in

a designated area (not in the pit) up to the end of each race where he is

substituted.

General rules

Failure to comply with these provisions will result in the same losses as if a driver

does not comply with his marshalling duty.

8.15.3 The organisation of drivers marshalling for the final will be the responsibility of

the organiser.

For finals, large teams provide the most marshals, maximum 2, smaller teams 1

and very small teams none (but may volunteer to help). Marshals will be allocated

designated points marked by their country names. Team Managers to insure that

these points are covered at all times by drivers.

Only drivers taking part in the competition may and must marshal finals unless

a substitute is allowed by the Race director due to physical disability.

8.15.4 The organiser must provide a marshal for any unfilled position i.e. previous heat

had less drivers or marshals missing.

8.15.5 It is the Team Manager’s responsibility to ensure that drivers marshal finals. Country

allocations will be decided pro-rata.

8.15.6 For large scale racing Marshals are not allowed. Mechanics will act as Marshals

out from the pit lane. This rule cannot overrule national insurance regulations.

8.15.7 All marshals must wear safe and sensible footwear that will not become detached

when performing marshalling duties. (Sandals are not acceptable).
