Any competitor using a garage must leave the garage through the back doors when called to the marshalling area 7. PRACTICE & QUALIFYING SESSIONS All practice sessions will be controlled from the Start Line and any flags used will have the same meaning as those used during racing.

STARTING OF RACES For all categories cars will be called to the Pre-Grid in the Marshalling Area, where the field will be shown a one minute board, then the green flag to indicate they should move along pit lane then around the circuit to the grid on a formation lap. When the field is assembled on the grid, the starter will indicate five seconds to go until the red light is shown.

GARAGES All garages/sheds must be cleaned and vacated within one hour after cessation of racing on the Sunday, and keys returned to the Secretary s Office. Non-compliance will result in a fee of not less than $50.00 being charged. 12. SAFETY CAR A safety car will be used when necessary, in accord with Race Meeting Standing Regulation 6.14 For all sprint races at Phillip Island, the Clerk of the Course will only leave pit exit open for a short period after each time the Safety Car and the field following have passed Pit Exit. At other times, any car at pit exit must wait until the next time the Safety Car passes Pit Exit. If this is to be varied for any event, competitors will be notified. In all cases, cars leaving pit lane during a Safety Car period must continue on at a reduced speed knowing that officials and official vehicles will be on the track, and pay strict attention to yellow flags until they reach the rear of the field following the Safety Car. 13. LEAVING THE TRACK Because of the gravel traps and soft verges close to much of the track edges at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, any car placing two of its tyres off the racing surface, as defined by the white line surrounding the track, may be shown the Black Flag and brought into pit lane at the discretion of the Clerk of Course. 14. PENALTIES APPLIED BY CLERK OF THE COURSE As authorised in Race Meeting Standing Regulation 9, the Clerk of the Course may apply a penalty of up to one minute to be added to the drivers lap time in qualifying, or race time during a race, or require the driver to come into pit lane by the showing of the black flag and the drivers number at the Start Line. Where this is a result of a Judgement of Fact, there is no appeal against the penalty. Infringements such as leaving the track, false start, failure to obey flag signals or the Code of Driving Conduct may be penalised in this manner. A sign displayed at the Start Line stating TIME PENALTY, together with the car number, will be used to notify competitors of the penalty, and the penalty will not prevent further penalties being applied for the same infringement. NOTICE ON SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS Both the Organisers and CAMS have WH&S Policies which are available on their relative web sites and from the Race Administration Office in the Control Tower. You are reminded that Competitors are responsible at all times for the working conditions of their pit crews and other team members at all times, and for any contractors they may have attending the Meeting to assist them. They must ensure that all applicable safe working conditions and practices (for example, as would be appropriate in industry or your workshop) are met at all times. Any injuries or emergencies experienced by the Teams must be reported to the Race Administration Office as soon as practicable to enable us to deploy an appropriate emergency response, and to comply with Worksafe reporting requirements. May our team wish you an enjoyable 2017 VSCRC Series with a happy and safe race meeting. GEOFF BULL Secretary of the Meeting.

6 Version September 16 Category. Car No. VSCRC 2017 ROUND 2. P HILLIP ISLA N D GRAND PRIX C IRCUI T 6 & 7 MAY 2017 PIT LANE DISCLAIMER - EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK Motor Sport Activities are inherently dangerous recreational activities and there is significant risk of injury, disability or death. If you do not wish to be exposed to such risks, then you should not participate in the Motor Sport Activities. I acknowledge that: the risks associated with attending or participating in Motor Sport Activities include but are NOT LIMITED to the risk that I may suffer harm as a result of: motor vehicles (or parts of them) colliding with other motor vehicles or persons or property; others participants acting dangerously or with lack of skills; high levels of noise exposure; acts of violence and other harmful acts (whether intentional or inadvertent) committed by persons attending or participating in the event; and the failure or unsuitability of facilities (including grand-stands, fences and guard rails) to ensure my safety. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, RELEASE & INDEMNITY In exchange for being able to attend or participate in the Motor Sport Activities, I agree: to release CAMS and the Entities to the extent that any or all of them are providing Recreational Services from all liability for: a) my death; b) any physical or mental injury (including the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of such an injury); c) the contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease; d) the coming into existence, the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of any other condition, circumstance, occurrence, activity, form of behaviour, course of conduct or state of affairs: i. that is or may be harmful or disadvantageous to me or the community; or ii. that may result in harm or disadvantage to me or the community, howsoever arising from my participation in or attendance at the Motor Sport Activities; to indemnify and hold harmless and keep indemnified the Entities to the maximum extent permitted by law in respect of any Claim by any person; and to attend at or participate in the Motor Sport Activities at my own risk. I understand that: nothing in this document excludes, restricts or modifies any rights that I may have as a result of significant personal injury that is caused by the Reckless Conduct of the Entities as the supplier of the Motor Sport Activities / Recreational Services; nothing in this document prevents the Entities from relying on any laws (including statute and common law) that limit or preclude their liability; nothing in this document excludes any term or guarantee which under statute cannot be excluded; however the liability of the Entities is limited to the minimum liability allowable by law; nothing in this document precludes me from making a claim under a CAMS insurance policy where I am expressly entitled to make a claim under that insurance policy; and CAMS has arranged some limited personal injury insurance coverage which may provide me with some protection for loss, damage or injury that I may suffer during my participation in the Motor Sport Activities. However, I acknowledge and accept that the insurance taken out by CAMS may not provide me with full indemnity for loss, damage or injury that I may suffer during my participation in the Motor Sport Activities, and that I may have to pay the excess if a Claim is made under an insurance policy on my behalf. I agree that my own insurance arrangements are ultimately my responsibility and I will arrange any additional coverage at my expense after taking into account CAMS insurance arrangements, this document and my own circumstances. Where Motor Sport Activities are held in the following jurisdictions, I acknowledge that I have also read and accept the following warnings: WARNING APPLICABLE IN RELATION TO MOTOR SPORT ACTIVITIES HELD IN VICTORIA WARNING UNDER THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW AND FAIR TRADING ACT 2012: Under the Australian Consumer Law (Victoria), several statutory guarantees apply to the supply of certain goods and services. These guarantees mean that the supplier named on this form is required to ensure that the recreational services it supplies to you: are rendered with due care and skill; are reasonably fit for any purpose which you either expressly or by implication, make known to the supplier; and might reasonably be expected to achieve any result you have made known to the supplier. Under section 22 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 (Vic), the supplier is entitled to ask you to agree that these conditions do not apply to you. If you sign this form, you will be agreeing that your rights to sue the supplier under the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012 if you are killed or injured because the services were not in accordance with these guarantees, are excluded, restricted or modified in the way set out in this form. NOTE: The change to your rights, as set out in this form, does not apply if your death or injury is due to gross negligence on the supplier s part. Gross negligence in relation to an act or omission, means doing the act or omitting to do an act with reckless disregard, with or without consciousness, for the consequences of the act or omission. See regulation 5 of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Regulations 2012 and section 22(3)(b) of the Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012.
