28. Weighing

28.1.

At any time during the Event, the Technical Delegate or Scrutineers may select cars to be weighed.

28.2.

Should the weight of a car be less than that specified on the Balance of Performance table for that Competition, the Competitor concerned may be given one of the penalties set out in Article 28.8, save where the deficiency in weight results from the accidental loss of a component of the car.

28.3.

No substance may be added to, placed on, or removed from a car after it has been selected for weighing or has finished the race or during the weighing procedure (except by a Scrutineer when acting in his Official capacity and in accordance with the technical regulations, or when requested to do so by a Scrutineer).

28.4.

No one other than Scrutineers and Officials may enter or remain in the Scrutineering garage without the specific permission of the Technical Delegate.

28.5.

A car must carry an Official television on-board camera and its equipment if so requested. The weight is included in the weight of the car as specified on the Balance of Performance sheet for that Competition. All cars must be prepared to allow the installation of the camera according to Appendix 10.

28.6.

A Competitor may fit one or more personal cameras in the car. Any official onboard cameras have priority. The Competitor must obtain written permission from the Promoter and from the Technical Delegate for each camera. The installation must be presented at the time of Scrutineering. Any cameras considered unsafe will be removed. The weight of the complete equipment is not included in the minimum weight of the car. Cameras transmitting live video footage are not authorised. Cameras affixed to helmets are not authorised. If necessary, SRO, the Race Director or the Stewards may ask to see the images from any such personal camera, even if the car is in Parc Fermé. In particular, they may request that the images be downloaded during a pit stop and supplied to the Officials. The images may not be distributed, shared or uploaded on the internet unless specifically authorised by SRO.

28.7.

GT3, GT4, GTC, GT2: The homologated weight and any additional weight as required by the Series's equalisation bureau and/or the Organisers.

Invitation Class: The weight of the car with no driver and no fuel on board.

The average weight of the drivers in any car competing in the GT World Challenge Asia Series must be 75kg. Should the average weight of the drivers in any specific car be less than 75kg, the car will be expected to carry Driver Ballast to compensate. Average driver weight over 75kg may be removed from the minimum BOP weight of the car. The following procedure will be followed:

i. Each driver must declare his weight, including overalls, underwear, gloves, helmet and FHR

ii. The average weight of the drivers in the car will be calculated and rounded up to the nearest integer (W)

iii. If W < 75, then the Driver Ballast to be carried by the car will be 75-W

iv. The Driver Ballast must be installed in the ballast box and sealed before qualifying.

The Driver Ballast, as well as the individual weight of the drivers in question, may be checked at any point during the event.

28.8.

In the event of any breach of these provisions for the weighing of cars, the Stewards of the Meeting may give any penalty they consider appropriate, up to disqualification from the session or race.
