OFFICIALS REGULATIONS

All people involved in motorsport are expected to be familiar with the regulations. Nowhere is this more true than for our officials.

We recommend that any person acting in an official capacity have a digital copy of the annual Motorsport Ireland Yearbook at hand for reference as to how best to act in any given situation.

In addition to the regulations needed to be enforced by officials on competitors, there are also regulations for officials themselves.

For reference, Appendix 100 to Appendix 131 of the Motorsport Ireland Yearbook specifically reference regulations and guidelines for officials.
