SPORTING REGULATION

1 - Introduction

1.1 The Ferrari Challenge is a series meant for the enjoyment of all its participants, and the regulations are written to support that intention. Challenge drivers are expected to compete in a spirit of fair play, with respect for the regulations, their competitors, and the cars. Drivers are expected to be competitors rather than combatants, and to place the spirit of fair and safe competition ahead of finishing position. Drivers who fail to respect this “fair play” philosophy may be excluded from the Ferrari Challenge at any time.

1.2 The 2016 Ferrari Challenge is organized by Ferrari North America and its authorized dealers, and is sanctioned by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). Issues regarding the series should be addressed to the series Manager at Ferrari North America.

1.3 Submission of an entry application for the Challenge shall be considered as an implicit undertaking by the Competitor that he is familiar with and undertakes to comply with the contents of the IMSA Regulations, these specific Regulations, and any other regulations under which the Challenge may be run. This includes any communications referring to the actual race event that might be distributed to teams in the Paddock. Further, the competitor agrees that he or she recognizes IMSA as the sole competent jurisdiction, subject to the right of Appeal set forth in the IMSA Regulations and these Regulations, and that he or she thus undertakes not to submit suits to arbitrators or other jurisdictions on the basis of circumstances deriving from the organization of the event and the running of the race itself; and that he or she relieves IMSA, Ferrari North America, its authorized dealers, the Organizers, the Promoter, the Race Officials and the owner of the circuit from any third-party liability for injury and damage suffered by himself or herself as Competitor, or by his or her drivers, passengers, employees and property. Competitors will be asked to sign waivers to this effect.

1.4 Conduct of each Ferrari Challenge event will be under the control of the Race Director, whose duties include overseeing all on-track activity as described in the IMSA Regulations (Reference www.IMSA.com “Regulations and Regulations WeatherTech Sports Car Series sporting regulations Articles 1-62) He may assess penalties as required under these regulations and the IMSA Regulations, if appropriate. The Race Director’s decisions are not subject to appeal except as noted in the IMSA Regulations. IMSA Regulations are only available electronically on the above mentioned link.

1.5 Ferrari S.p.A., Ferrari North America, the Ferrari Challenge and IMSA Officials reserve the right to modify any of the regulations of the Ferrari Challenge at any time to ensure the safety, fairness, and success of the contest, or to cancel a portion of an event, an entire event, or the series should it become necessary.

This includes drivers who have consistently placed in the top three finishing position or won a championship, drivers new to the series that have had similar success in another like series and young drivers (age 16-25 who will be classified as either Pirelli or Pirelli based on their experience). Drivers entering select events from any of the other series in a similar category will also be assigned to the Trofeo Pirelli category.
