PROTEST PROCEDURE FORM AND HOW IT WORKS
By filling in the form below you are asking us to consider opening a protest procedure against a car that you strongly believe to be contravening the formula build rules.
You must fill in the form below explaining exactly what you believe to be wrong with the car,just saying “it’s too fast it must be illegal” is not enough,we want to know specifically what you want us to investigate.
Once the form has been filled in,myself and our race steward will look at the facts and decide if there is a legitimate case to investigate.
If we find there is no case to answer the protest procedure application will be refused
If we find there is a case to answer,we will obtain quotes for an independent engineer to investigate the claim.The quote will include the reinstatement of all parts should the claim be proven to be false.
We will then give the protester a costing of the maximum protest fee.
The protester at this point must pay the fee for the protest to continue.
Depending on the type of complaint,we will arrange for the independent engineer to be at the next meeting to check the car
Or
Have the car taken to the engineer after the next meeting to be checked.
On the day of the next meeting the driver of the car in question will be told for the first time that his/her car is subject to a protest.The driver will be told the nature of the protest and if requested will be told the name of the protester.
The driver will be given a chance there and then to prove the claim is false.
If the driver is unable to supply us with enough evidence to prove the claim is false the protest will continue.
We will ask permission from the driver for the independent engineer to carry out an investigation.
ACTION WILL BE TAKEN BASED ON THIS OUTCOME.
