Competitors Safety - Safety Tracking System
All cars must be fitted with the Safety Tracking System (STS) device provided by the STS provider (Sporttraxx) during reconnaissance and competition. The STS devices will be distributed during reconnaissance sign-on. Competitor competition licences will be held by way of deposit on the device, returnable upon timely and undamaged return of the device. All crews must declare the number of the mobile phone which they will carry with them on board and maintain in the ‘ON’ state during the entire event.
The crew are personally responsible for installing the STS device in their reconnaissance car. During reconnaissance the STS device must be in a visible place, so Marshals or other Officials will be able to identify it.
The STS device will be collected following reconnaissance at documentation scrutineering and will be recharged overnight. The device will be fitted to competition cars by Sporttraxx personnel before the Parc Ferme Out Control on the morning of competition.
The STS device will be collected at the Parc Ferme In Control (Final Control) by Sporttraxx personnel.
In the event of retirement, the STS device must be returned to Sporttraxx personnel in the event Service Area or at the Parc Ferme In Control (contact phone number will be provided).
