Appendix 10. Mandatory Cameras

MANDATORY CAMERAS -- SPORTING REGULATIONS

PIT BOX - CAMERA SET-UP

It is mandatory for all teams to have a Pit Box camera fitted and functioning during every session. It is the teams responsibility to supply and fit the camera. The camera must be placed in a position to view and record the full allocated pit area working zone from the working line onwards and a minimum of two metre in each direction of the car. The angle and quality of footage may be inspected at each round.

It is the teams responsibility to ensure the camera is switched on and recording 5 minutes before every session, that the battery has been charged sufficiently to record the entire session and that there is sufficient memory on the card inserted to record the entire session. The team must supply the camera card and present the footage to the Race Director, when requested.

The cards and the images remain the property of the Organiser.

Any party/team that fails to comply will be sent to the Stewards and may result in a penalty during the event.

SRO shall own the entire copyright and all other rights, titles and interests, including all other intellectual property rights to and in connection with any footage taken on any Pit Box Camera.

Competitors and/or teams may only use, distribute, share, upload or download any footage taken on a Pit Box camera with the prior written consent from the Organisers.

USE OF THE CAMERA IMAGES

The images from the cameras may be used in the following cases:

On request of an Official

An Official of the Event may request that the images relating to any car or Team be examined after the race. In this case, the Pit Lane Official will recover the images and give them to the Stewards of the Meeting who may impose penalties for any breaches of regulations. Any such cars will be placed under investigation.

On request of a Team

In case of a report from a Pit Lane Marshal, the Team may challenge the report and request that the images should be examined. In this case, the Pit Lane Official will check the images after the chequered flag. Should the images confirm the Pit Marshal's report, an additional penalty may be given.

Important: no Team may request that the images of a specific car be examined without making a formal protest to the Stewards of the Meeting according to the International Sporting Code.
