DAY 2 OPTIONS:

Perhaps we could split Day 1 and Day 2 based on the officials.  We need specific training for the Race Director Clerk of the Course on hos to run a karting race meeting and how incidents are different between karting and cars.  If required, some time could be allocated on day 2 to provide more focussed   tutorials on;

  • Clerk of Course / Observer Roles / Decision Making
  • Judicial Procedures
  • Stewarding Roles and Procedures
  • Revision
  • Clarifications – Further Q +A
