FOREWORD BY BAHRAIN INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT CHAIRMAN Z A Y E D R. A L Z A Y A N I On April 26th the Kingdom of Bahrain will become the focal point of the sporting world as the country hosts the fourth round of the FIA Formula One™ World Championship, the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix. As Chairman of the Bahrain International Circuit I look forward with enthusiasm to providing all of your readers with a fantastic weekend of racing entertainment. The BIC has a phenomenal reputation throughout the racing world for hosting one of the best races on the calendar and as one of only 17 countries to host a round of the F1 Championship we have the ability to use the Grand Prix and Bahrain International Circuit as a platform for increasing the awareness of the Kingdom of Bahrain. Hundreds of millions of television viewers around the world will watch the sixth running of the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix and a repeat of the sell-out crowd of last year will underline the significance and economic impact of staging the race here in Bahrain. This year we will see a race like never before. At BIC we are well known for our focus on action and entertainment and we have set our sights high on making this Grand Prix the biggest and best yet. The Kingdom’s pride in its race and the friendship and hospitality of the people mean so much to visitors and competitors alike and this year they will get the chance to enjoy a variety of activities both on and off-track. On track the Formula One™ race is supported by a full programme of four races. Heading the list and joining us for the fourth time is the spectacular Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. Bahrain has a special relationship with Porsche and they always enjoy their race at Sakhir along with the support that they get from the team at BIC. The GP2 Asia Series is back for its second round in 2009 along with its partner series Speedcar. Finally, top drivers from across the region will put on an exhibition race which is a taste of things to come for the Bahrain’s own “home-grown” Chevrolet Supercars ME Championship. Off-track entertainers from all over the world will be making their way to our award-winning desert circuit. Children’s entertainment tops the bill but there will also be show-stopping performances from a variety of entertainers - music from Street band Bijoumiyo, acrobats from the Limpopo-Zambezi band and daringly-difficult stunts from the Van Der Brothers are just to name a few. Last year Bahrain laid on the most excusive display of classic Ferraris. This year we have gone one better with the first public display of a unique collection of Formula One™ cars dating back to the 1930s. The 24 mouth-watering cars from Formula One™ supremo Bernie Ecclestone’s Heritage Collection will be on display in the Formula One™ Village Vending Area. This extraordinary collection includes the classic pre-war Auto Union and Mercedes Grand Prix cars that were driven by some of the legendary German racers together with Ferraris, Maseratis, Lancias, McLarens and Brabhams from the 50s through to the modern era.

Included here are cars driven by the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio, Niki Lauda, Stirling Moss, John Surtees and Mike Hawthorn. James Hunt’s 1976 winning McLaren M23 will be on display as well as the Brabham “Fan Car” that won the Swedish Grand Prix with Niki Lauda at the wheel only to be famously excluded from Grand Prix racing for illegalities. This is an attraction that is not to be missed. Truly a first and we are extremely excited by it being here in Bahrain and I would like to personally take this opportunity of thanking Bernie Ecclestone for allowing us to display his cars. Throughout the F1 Village will be a diverse range of acts and activities including children’s play areas, buskers in the tunnels, face painters, stilt-walkers, the “Kart Zone” and much, much more. As you the readers of Arabia Motors join us this year we guarantee you that this will be a memorable sixth hosting for the Kingdom of Bahrain. On behalf of all the team at BIC I hope that you have a most enjoyable, action-packed and memorable weekend on April 24-26. See you there! Zayed R. Alzayani

The 6.4km Full Circuit was inaugurated for the first 24 Hour Race of Bahrain in December 2006. The medium-length Paddock Circuit (cutting away from the Grand Prix Circuit after Turn 3 and passing back down the straight in front of the Oasis Complex) is used for regional events such as the annual Desert 400 for the V8 Supercars Series Australia. The Drag Strip is FIA-approved to host Top Fuel dragsters and the Inner Circuit is used for national races and corporate entertainment.

Entertainment

Live music and entertainment, activities, refreshments are all available in the F1 Village.

F1 lap record

The lap record of 1m 30.252 was set by Michael Schumacher (Ferrari) during the 2004 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix. The fastest lap recorded in this year’s pre-season test was 1m 32.102 set by Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen.

BAHRAIN INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT A–Z G-O Gulf Air

Gulf Air, title sponsor of the Bahrain Grand Prix, is owned by the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Sultanate of Oman and is the only pan-Gulf airline in the region. The airline’s network stretches from Europe to Asia and covers more than 50 cities in over 30 countries.

History

On the 14th September 2002, the Kingdom of Bahrain signed a long-term agreement with Formula One™ Management Ltd to host a round of the FIA Formula One™ World Championship, starting from 2004. In early 2007 the contract for the BIC to host the Bahrain Grand Prix was extended ‘throughout this decade and deep into the next.’

Journalists

The state-of-the-art Media Centre can accommodate up to 500 journalists and is equipped with the latest digital media. Special accommodation rates for freelance journalists are one of the new range of measures designed to ease the burden of travel.

Kingdom

The Kingdom of Bahrain is an archipelago made up of 36 islands and Bahrain Island is the biggest, 48km long and 16km wide. It has one manmade causeway linking it to Saudi Arabia and a second causeway – the longest in the world – will link to Qatar is under construction.

Layout

The circuit has been designed so that six different track layouts fit into one motor racing complex, thus allowing the facility to be used all year round.

Motor Federation

The sporting organiser, the BMF (Bahrain Motor Federation) will have about 800 people working during the event. Amongst these will be 38 sector and deputy marshals overseeing 8-10 marshals, a team of approx. 25 people working in the pit lane and 50 on the grid line. There will also be 120 fire marshals, 150 track marshals and a team of 30 doctors and paramedics.

New Developments

The BIC's Kart Zone has become one of the most popular venues for accessing the sport in the Kingdom, meanwhile construction of a CIK internationally-approved track is underway. The Paddock Club car park is situated on top of the hugely popular 1/10-scale radio control car track. The F1 Grand Prix circuit has 15 bends and has been designed to have at least three places where drivers will be able to overtake.

Overtaking

BAHRAIN INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT A–Z P-Z Pit Walkabout

All three-day ticket holders will have access to the pit lane on Thursday April 23rd 2009.

Run-off area

Eight meters both sides of the track on the straights and up to 10 meters on the outside of corners. For 2009 the run-off areas will feature different designs of Arabic artwork and script, designed as a themed journey both to enhance the presentation and provide the drivers with better reference points around the lap totaling 15,000m² of the run-off surface.

Speedy

New for the 2009 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix is the adoption of a mascot for the Bahrain International Circuit's year-round activities: Speedy the racing driver. The character was designed and created entirely in Bahrain and was named in a competition for schoolchildren in the country's biggest-selling weekly newspaper.

Telecommunications

ISDN, ADSL and direct lines as well as data uplinks are available in the Media Centre and Photographers’ Room. WiFi Internet access is free for all in the Media Centre.

Video screens

To ensure spectators will not miss out on any of the race action, six giant video screens are set up across the circuit area. Every stand seat enjoys the view of a giant screen to keep up with all the action around the track.

Waard

Replacing the traditional champagne spray on the Formula One™ podium, Waard is a blend of rose water, locally-produced pomegranate juice and sparkling water that is blended and bottled locally, just for the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.

X-ray

The medical centre at the circuit is equipped with a state of the art x-ray equipment.

Yalla!

Traditional cry of encouragement among the region's sports fans, meaning 'let's go!' or 'come on!' Expect to hear it often on April 26.

Zayed R. Al Zayani

Prominent Bahraini businessman and long-standing member of the BIC Board of Directors, Zayed Al Zayani was elected Chairman in mid-2008, taking over the reins at the BIC from Talal Al Zain.

Sepang is one of the most technical circuits in Formula One™. The combination of long highspeed straights and tight twisting complexes make the track very complicated, but also perfect for overtaking as the track itself is very wide. Sepang circuit is also the most intense cockpit environment of the season. Driver fitness is crucial, as the heat can be extreme. This year’s result: 1st – J. Button, Brawn GP; 2nd – N.

19 April 2009 5.451 km

Race distance: Number of laps:

305.066 km 56

This was 2004’s second new circuit. Five years on, after a very successful debut, its sheer size overshadows every other circuit, incorporating 16 wide-ranging corners – 7 left- and 9 righthanders that combine to form a 5.45-kilometre (3.39-mile) lap. Viewed from overhead, the circuit’s shape recalls the Chinese symbol “Shang”, which means “high” or “above”. There is room for 200,000 spectators and the grandstand is unique in the world of Formula One™ in having two “wing-like” structures that link the spectator seating to the pit complex and house both a media centre and the circuit’s hospitality suites. This year’s result: 1st – S. Vettel, Red Bull Racing; 2nd – M. Webber, Red Bull Racing; 3rd – J. Button, Brawn GP

The Circuit de Catalunya is unusual in that it is used extensively for testing so all teams are very well prepared for the bumpy and unforgiving track surface. There are a number of high-speed corners which exert much G-force and make it even harder for the drivers to take the right line. Tyre wear is particularly high and the varying winds that cut across the circuit mean an optimum set-up can be hard to find. Last year’s result: 1st – K. Räikkönen, Ferrari; 2nd – F. Massa, Ferrari; 3rd – L. Hamilton, McLaren Mercedes

This is the glamour race of the season. Indeed for the sponsors and business interests connected to F1, this is the race of the year. Everybody meets and networks, anybody who is anybody makes sure they are here to be seen. And the racing is not bad on the twisty street circuit either. There is always drama, as the lack of run-off areas and the nearness of the concrete walls and of the water in the harbour makes for the ultimate in precision driving. Lose your focus for a nano-second and you’re off. Last year’s result: 1st – L. Hamilton, McLaren Mercedes; 2nd – R. Kubica, BMW Sauber; 3rd – F. Massa, Ferrari

The Istanbul circuit features 14 turns – eight lefts and six rights – with cars reaching speeds of up to 320 kph. The circuit is in the hilly region on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorous, about 40 minutes drive from Istanbul and features sweeping banked turns, gradients and a wide variety of corners which make for spectacular racing. An unusual feature of the venue is that the lap runs anti-clockwise, making the Turkish Grand Prix only the second race on the calendar to do so (Brazil is the other one). Last year’s result: 1st – F. Massa, Ferrari; 2nd – L. Hamilton, McLaren Mercedes; 3rd – K. Räikkönen, Ferrari

In 1950 Silverstone had the distinction of being the first venue for the inaugural World Championship Grand Prix. Since then the British Grand Prix had been held there many times and it was finally awarded a long-term contract in 1986. There is always drama and it is one of the most challenging circuits, loved by the drivers and, with the weather often playing a leading role in the race weekend, it is never short of full-on entertainment. In July 2008 it was announced that Donington Park will host the British Grand Prix in 2010 onwards in a 10-year deal. 2009 will mark Silverstone’s final Formula One™ race. Last year’s result: 1st – L. Hamilton, McLaren Mercedes; 2nd – N. Heidfeld, BMW Sauber; 3rd – R. Barrichello, Honda

Race distance: Number of laps:

308.863 km 60

The German Grand Prix returns to Nürburg this year as part of the new arrangement for the race to alternate between the Hockenheimring and the Nürburgring. The Nürburgring, simply known as "The Ring" by enthusiasts, was nicknamed The Green Hell by Jackie Stewart, and is widely considered the toughest, most dangerous and most demanding purpose-built race track in the world. A 14-mile rollercoaster ride through the wooded hills of the Eifel plateau in the western part of Germany, the circuit hosted its first German Grand Prix in 1927 and 100,000 locals turned out to watch Otto Merz win in a Mercedes-Benz. For drivers it represents the ultimate racing challenge, and there is likely to never be another race track like The Nürburgring again. 2007 Result (European Grand Prix): 1st – K. Räikkönen, Ferrari; 2nd – F. Alonso, McLaren Mercedes; 3rd – F. Massa, Ferrari

The Hungaroring was opened in 1986 and attracted an estimated 200,000 fans in this natural amphitheatre outside Budapest. Over the years it has acquired a reputation as a great destination for the travelling fans, with superb views of the track and with the delights of Budapest nearby. But on the flip side this is a venue where it is very hard to overtake, and despite being one of the slowest in the World Championship, it still requires the cars to be set up with medium to high downforce to counter the surface which is very slippery. The layout was revised in 2003, as the start-finish line was lengthened and the first corner modified to encourage overtaking, and the straight before turn 12 has also been lengthened to encourage more passing. Last year’s result: 1st – H. Kovalainen, McLaren Mercedes; 2nd – T. Glock, Toyota Racing; 3rd – K. Räikkönen, Ferrari

In 2008 the new race in Valencia of one of the highlights of the season, as it took place on a brand new harbourside street circuit. The Grand Prix track is based around the marina formerly used for the America’s Cup race. The layout has a variety of chicanes and hairpins expected in any street course, but also boasts some flat-out, sweeping sections amongst its spectacular 25corner layout. Last year’s result: 1st – F.

Belgium's Spa-Francorchamps circuit is among the most historic on the Formula One™ calendar and remains one of the most popular venues with drivers and fans alike. Spa is the longest circuit on the calendar. Its mix of long straights and challenging fast corners, coupled with its picturesque setting, means that most drivers still rank it among their favourite tracks. The weather is still notoriously changeable and Eau Rouge, with its high speed and sudden elevation change, maintains its reputation as one of Formula One™ racing's most technically demanding corners. Last year’s result: 1st – F. Massa, Ferrari; 2nd – N. Heidfeld, BMW Sauber; 3rd – L. Hamilton, McLaren Mercedes

Monza has hosted the Italian Grand Prix every year since 1922, except for 1980. This remarkable record means there is no other F1 track with so much history and drama. This race always attracts huge and enthusiastic crowds, utterly passionate about Ferrari. After years of watching other cars winning on their home ground, finally in 1996 the tifosi got the victory they had craved since 1988, as Michael Schumacher took his Ferrari past the finish line in first place. The Grand Prix is a must stop-over for fullblooded racing fans who come from all over Europe to soak up the extraordinary atmosphere. Last year’s result: 1st – S. Vettel, STR-Ferrari; 2nd – H. Kovalainen, McLaren Mercedes; 3rd – R. Kubica, BMW Sauber

It also marked the 2nd new race of the season featuring a street circuit based around Singapore’s Marina Bay area running along the harbourside as well as sweeping between the city’s skyscrapers. Last year’s result: 1st – F. Alonso, Renault; 2nd – N. Rosberg, Williams; 3rd – L. Hamilton, McLaren Mercedes

In 2007 it was announced that Suzuka Circuit would co-host the Formula One™ Japanese Grand Prix with Fuji Speedway. After a two year hiatus, Japan’s first full-fledged racing course returns to the Formula One™ calendar in 2009. Since its birth in 1962, Suzuka International Racing Course, Suzuka Circuit for short, has been the center of Japanese motorsports, and its traditional role as the penultimate or final Grand Prix of the season means numerous World Championships have been decided at the track. 2006 Result: 1st – F. Alonso, Renault; 2nd – F. Massa, Ferrari; 3rd – G. Fisichella, Renault

The Interlagos racetrack was built in 1954 in Sao Paulo, the home city of Emerson Fittipaldi, Ayrton Senna and Rubens Barrichello, three of Brazil’s greatest racing drivers. Though it has alternated with Rio de Janeiro for the right to host the Brazilian Grand Prix, Interlagos has been the preferred venue since 1990. It is a tough circuit for the teams as it requires much care in the set-up, as the car has to cope with fast and very long straights, separated by difficult corners and yet also cope with the undulating, bumpy, hilly section. Last year’s result: 1st – F. Massa, Ferrari; 2nd – F. Alonso, Renault; 3rd – K. Räikkönen, Ferrari

In 2009 Formula One™ will have another new event at a brand new destination. The first Formula 1™ Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will take place on November 1st. Inspired by the culture and values of Abu Dhabi combined with cutting-edge innovation and luxury features, it is a truly unique place. Currently under construction on Yas Island, Yas Marina Circuit will also mark the 2nd Formula One™ venue for the Middle East.

2009 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP NEW RULES IN 2009 A number of changes to both the Sporting and Technical Regulations have been made by the FIA for the 2009 Formula One™ season. In the case of the Sporting Regulations, the primary aims are increased reliability and further cost reductions. In the case of the technical changes, there are three main objectives - reducing the role of aerodynamics in the cars’ performance; making overtaking easier; and keeping lap times in check. Tyres After 10 seasons on grooved tyres, Formula One™ racing returns to slicks in 2009, as part of moves to increase the emphasis on mechanical rather than aerodynamic grip. With no grooves, grip will increase by around 20 percent, bringing a significant performance gain. However, that gain will be offset by the vastly reduced downforce levels of the revised aerodynamic regulations (see below). The overall effect should be reduced performance through high-speed corners. Drivers will still have the choice of two dry tyre compounds and will still have to use both compounds during a race. A green band on the sidewall will distinguish the softer compound. Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) From 2009 teams have the option of employing a KERS to boost their car’s performance. As its name implies, a KERS recovers the (normally wasted) kinetic energy generated by the car’s braking process. This energy is stored using a mechanical flywheel or an electrical battery and then made available to the driver, in set amounts per lap, via a ‘boost button’ on the steering wheel. Under the current regulations the power gain equates to around 80 horsepower, available for just under seven seconds per lap. This could be worth several tenths of a second in terms of lap time, but the weight and packaging of the system - and its impact on the car’s weight distribution - also have to be taken into account. Engines In a move designed to boost reliability still further, rev limits will be cut from 19,000 to 18,000 rpm. Drivers will be limited to eight engines per season, with each team allowed an additional four engines for testing. Once a driver has used up his eight-engine allocation, any engine change will incur a 10-place grid penalty (or a move to the back of the grid if made after qualifying) for the event at which the change is made. Just one team - Renault - has been allowed to make performance modifications to their engine for 2009 in order to help equalise power outputs.

2009 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP NEW RULES IN 2009 Aerodynamics Along with slick tyres, this is the biggest area of change for 2009. Downforce will be dramatically reduced and the cars’ bodywork will appear much cleaner, thanks to new dimensional regulations that effectively outlaw extraneous items such as barge boards, winglets, turning vanes and chimneys on most areas of the car. As well as reducing overall aero performance, the revisions are also designed to increase overtaking by making the car less susceptible to turbulence when closely following another driver. The most obvious changes are to the front and rear wings. The front wing becomes lower (75mm from 150mm) and wider (up from 1400 to 1800mm - the same width as the car) with driver-adjustable flaps. Drivers will be allowed to make two wing adjustments per lap, altering the wing angle over a six-degree range. The rear wing becomes taller (up 150mm to bring it level with the top of the engine cover) and narrower (750mm from 1000mm). Also at the back of the car, the diffuser has been moved rearwards, its leading edge now level with (rather than ahead of) the rear-wheel axle line. In addition, the diffuser has been made longer and higher, all changes that will reduce its ability to generate downforce. A clarification on diffuser design came in the FIA Court of Appeal hearing on April 14 2009 when protests were heard over the 'double diffuser' designs of Brawn, Williams and Toyota. Subsequently the protests were rejected and the 'double diffuser' design was declared legal. Testing From 2009 onwards testing is not allowed during the race season (from the week prior to the first Grand Prix until December 31) and is limited to 15,000 kilometers. Safety car The pit lane will now remain open throughout any safety-car period, allowing drivers to refuel without penalty. However, to ensure that drivers are not tempted to speed back to the pit lane, a new software system which employs GPS and the cars’ standard ECU has been introduced. When the safety car is deployed, each driver is given a minimum ‘back to pit’ time based on his position on track. If he arrives in the pit lane before that time he will be penalised.

ABOUT FORMULA ONE TECHNICAL REGULATIONS Engines • Formula One™ engines may be no more than 2.4 litres in capacity. They must have 8 cylinders in a 90-degree formation, with two inlet and two exhaust valves per cylinder. They must be normally aspirated, weigh at least 95 kilograms and be rev-limited to 18,000rpm. • The only other permitted power source is a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), which takes waste energy generated under braking and turns it into additional power. This is then made available to the driver in fixed quantities per lap via a steering wheel boost button. Dimensions • The overall width of the car may not exceed 180cm. • Bodywork ahead of the rear wheel centre line must be a maximum of 140cm wide. Bodywork behind it must be no more than 100cm wide. Front and rear overhangs are limited to 120cm and 60cm respectively from the wheel centre lines • With the exception of rollover structures, no part of the car may be higher than 95cm from the reference plane. Weight • The weight of a car (including driver) may not be less than 605kg. Brakes • Formula One™ cars must have one brake system operated through a single brake pedal. Anti-lock brakes and power braking are forbidden. Fuel • Formula One™ cars run on petrol, the specification of which is not that far removed from that used in regular road cars. Transmission System • The majority of modern Formula One™ cars use seven-speed semi-automatic gearboxes. Regulations stipulate at least four forward gears, up to a maximum of seven. All cars must also have a reverse gear. Suspension and Steering systems • Formula One™ cars must have conventional sprung suspension. Any system, such as active suspension, that can alter the suspension or its geometry while the car is moving is forbidden. • Power steering systems are allowed, but these must not be electronically controlled or powered. Four-wheel steering is forbidden. The car’s steering wheel, steering column and steering rack all have to pass an FIA impact test Cameras • Throughout the Grand Prix weekend all cars must be fitted with two cameras or camera housings. The cameras are used to provide on-board TV footage.

ABOUT FORMULA ONE RULES AND REGULATIONS Formula One™ has one of the most complicated rulebooks in all of sport - here is a brief summary some of the most important regulations: Livery Teams must run their two cars with essentially the same race livery throughout the season and must seek prior approval for any major changes. In addition there are a number of requirements that apply to liveries for all cars and teams. Every car must carry its driver’s race number, which must be clearly visible from the front of the car, and the driver’s name must appear on the external bodywork of the car. The team’s name or emblem must also appear on the nose of the car. To help distinguish between a team’s two cars, the onboard cameras which sit on top of the main rollover structure are coloured differently. On the first car it must be predominantly fluorescent red and on the second car it must be fluorescent yellow. Tyres Formula One™ racing features a single tyre supplier, with all teams using identical Bridgestone rubber. The advantages of this (over multiple tyre suppliers) include closer racing and reduced testing and development costs. At each Grand Prix every team is given access to two specifications of dry-weather tyre. Unless conditions are wet, drivers must use both specifications during the race. A white groove on the tread of the softer compound allows spectators to distinguish which tyre a driver is on. Over the race weekend, each driver has access to 14 sets of dry-weather tyres, four sets of intermediate tyres and three sets of wet tyres. Teams are free to use intermediate or wet tyres as they see fit during qualifying and the race. However, during the preceding practice sessions, they may only be used if the track has been declared wet by the race director. If a race is started behind the safety car due to heavy rain, the use of wet tyres is compulsory. All tyres are given a bar code at the start of the weekend so that the FIA can closely monitor their use and ensure that no team is breaking regulations.

RULES AND REGULATIONS Spare Cars, Engine and gearboxes FIA regulations state that drivers may have no more than two cars available for use at any one time. Spare cars are no longer allowed, though teams may bring additional chassis which can be built up in the event of a race chassis being damaged beyond repair. If a driver switches car between qualifying and the race then he must start the race from the pit lane. A change of car is not allowed once the race has started. There are also restrictions on engine and gearbox use. Each driver may use no more than eight engines during a championship season. Should a driver use more than eight engines, he will drop 10 places on the starting grid of the event at which an additional unit is to be used. Each driver may use no more than one gearbox for four consecutive events. Every unscheduled gearbox change will require the driver to drop five places on the grid at that meeting. Every subsequent unscheduled gearbox change will require the driver to drop five places on the grid. If a driver fails to finish a race due to reasons beyond his or his team's control, he may start the next meeting with a different gearbox without incurring a penalty. Additional Drivers and Drivers changes Teams may use up to four drivers during a season, all of whom may score points in the championship. A driver change may be made with the permission of the stewards any time before the start of qualifying. The new driver must use the engine and tyres allocated to the original driver. On top of this, in each of Friday's two practice sessions teams may run additional drivers, though each team is still limited to two cars. Any holder of a Super License may run as an additional driver, but stewards must be informed of a team's plans before the end of initial scrutineering on the Thursday prior to practice. Classification A commonly asked question is how drivers can be given a placing in the official race results even though they retired before the end of the race. The explanation can be found within the FIA regulations regarding classification. These state that any driver who completed at least 90 per cent of the race distance will be classified, whether or not he was running when the winner took the chequered flag. If a race is stopped before the full distance and a result is declared, the classification will reflect the race order at the end of the lap two laps prior to that on which the race was stopped. For example, if a race is stopped on lap 60, the classification will be as it was at the end of lap 58.

RULES AND REGULATIONS Driver Penalties Stewards have the power to impose various penalties on a driver if he commits an offence during a race. Offences may include jumping the start, causing an avoidable accident, unfairly blocking another driver, impeding another driver when being lapped, speeding in the pit lane etc. The two most common types are the drive-through penalty and the ten-second time penalty. In the case of the former, the driver must enter the pits, drive through the pit lane at the pit-lane speed limit and rejoin the race without stopping. Depending on the length of the pit lane this can cost a driver a significant amount of time. More severe is the ten-second time penalty (also commonly known as a stop-go penalty) where the driver must not only enter the pits, but must also stop for ten seconds at his pit before rejoining the race. During this time the driver’s team are not permitted to work on the car. In extreme cases the stewards may choose to enforce a third type of penalty whereby they can force a driver to drop ten grid positions at the next Grand Prix. So even if the driver in question goes on to qualify in pole position, he will in fact start that race from 11th place. In the case of the drive-through penalty and the ten-second time penalty, a driver has three laps, from the time his team is notified, to enter the pits (failure to do so may result in a black flag and the driver being excluded from the race). The only exception is when the penalty is awarded during the final five laps of the race. In this case the driver may continue and complete the race. However, 25 seconds will be added to his total race time, which may drop him considerably in the final race standings. Practise and Qualifying At each Grand Prix meeting all race drivers may participate in two one and a half-hour practice sessions on Friday (Thursday at Monaco), a one-hour session on Saturday morning and a qualifying session on Saturday afternoon. While individual practice sessions are not compulsory, a driver must take part in at least one Saturday session to be eligible for the race. Saturday's one-hour qualifying session is split into three distinct parts, each with multiple drivers on track simultaneously, and each with the drivers running as many laps as they want: Q1: All 20 cars may run laps at any time during the first 20 minutes of the hour. At the end of the first 20 minutes, the five slowest cars drop out and fill the final five grid places. Q2: After a seven-minute break, the times will be reset and the 15 remaining cars then will then run in a 15-minute session - again they may complete as many laps as they want at any time during that period. At the end of the 15 minutes, the five slowest cars drop out and fill places 11 to 15 on the grid.

RULES AND REGULATIONS Q3: After a further eight-minute break, the times are reset and a final 10-minute session will feature a shootout between the remaining 10 cars to decide pole position and the starting order for the top 10 grid places. Again, these cars may run as many laps as they wish. If a driver is deemed by the stewards to have stopped unnecessarily on the circuit or impeded another driver during qualifying, his times may be cancelled. Parc Ferme Parc ferme is an enclosed and secure area in the paddock where the cars are weighed and any other checks deemed necessary by race officials are made. Teams must leave their cars here from within three and a half hours of the end of the qualifying on Saturday until five hours before the start of the formation lap on Sunday. However, the cars are deemed to be under parc ferme conditions for a much longer period from the time they first exit the pits during qualifying until the start of the formation lap immediately prior to the race. Under these conditions, the work teams may carry out on their cars is limited to strictly-specified routine procedures, which can only be performed under the watchful eye of the FIA Technical Delegate and race scrutineers. Fuel may be added to the cars (those eligible for the final period of qualifying may only replace what they used in that period), tyres changed and brakes bled. Minor front wing adjustments are also allowed, but little else. These controls mean that teams cannot make significant alterations to the set-up of a car between qualifying and the race. The only exception to this is when there is a "change in climatic conditions", for example a dry qualifying session followed by a wet race, or vice versa. In this case the FIA will give the teams permission to make further appropriate changes to their cars. Should a car require an engine change between qualifying and the race, then the driver concerned will be required to start from the back of the grid. Modifications to other parts or suspension set-up will require the driver to start from the pit lane. Officials At every Grand Prix meeting there are seven key race officials who monitor and control the activities of the stewards and marshals to ensure the smooth and safe running of the event in accordance with FIA regulations. Five of the seven officials are nominated by the FIA. These are the race director (currently Charlie Whiting), a permanent starter and three additional stewards, one of whom is nominated chairman. The additional stewards must be FIA Super Licence holders. The other two key officials are nominated by the National Sporting Authority (ASN) of the country holding the race. These are the clerk of the course and an additional steward (who must be a national of the host nation). Both must be FIA Super Licence holders.

RULES AND REGULATIONS The clerk of the course works in consultation with the race director, who has overriding authority. The race director directs the clerk of the course on how to instruct the stewards during the various practice, qualifying and race sessions. The race director and the clerk of the course, as well as the FIA technical delegate (currently Jo Bauer), must all be present at the event from 10am on Thursday (Wednesday in Monaco) onwards. The race director, the clerk of the course and the chairman of the stewards must all be in radio contact while cars are on track. Furthermore, at these times the clerk of the course must be in the race-control headquarters and in radio contact with all of the marshal’s posts. Points The top eight finishers in each Grand Prix score points towards both the drivers’ and the constructors’ world championships, according to the following scale: 1st place: 10 points 2nd place: 8 points 3rd place: 6 points 4th place: 5 points 5th place: 4 points 6th place: 3 points 7th place: 2 points 8th place: 1 point The first three drivers will be presented with trophies on the podium. The drivers' and constructors' championship titles are awarded to the driver and constructor who score the most points over the course of the season. In the case of a dead heat for a championship place then the driver or constructor with the higher number of superior race results will be awarded the place.

SUPPORT RACES SPEEDCAR Races 1 and 2: Races 1 and 2 are independent races held on consecutive days over a weekend. Each race will begin with a rolling start* and run for a race distance of not more than 200 kilometres or 40 minutes in duration, whichever is achieved first. Points are awarded for each race – Race 1 and Race 2, to the top 8 drivers according to the scale below: 10 points 1st place: 8 points 2nd place: 6 points 3rd place: 5 points 4th place: 4 points 5th place: 3 points 6th place: 2 points 7th place: 1 point 8th place: If a race has been stopped and cannot be restarted, points will still be allocated. In the event that less than half the race is over, half points are awarded and if more than half the race is run, full points are awarded. The driver and team with the most number of points at the end of the season will take home the Speedcar Series Championship driver and team titles respectively each will be awarded prize money of 500,000 US dollars. *Rolling Start: Every Speedcar Series race begins with a rolling start which is a single lap or more around the circuit before the race officially begins. The cars and drivers take their places on the grid 30 minutes before the race is flagged off. A green flag signals the rolling start where all the drivers begin to follow the pace car in the order of their grid positions – the driver in pole position leads behind the pace car and so on. Overtaking on this lap is not allowed unless a driver is out of position and needs to reestablish the original starting order. When the circuit has almost been completed, the pace car pulls off the track into the pit lane. Once the start lights turn from red to green, the race has begun.

SPEEDCAR PRIZE MONEY A prize pot worth 3 million US dollars will be awarded to teams and drivers in Season 2. An added incentive this year will include 500,000 US dollars to the championship winning driver and an additional 500,000 US dollars to the championship winning team. Prize money per race is allocated upon final classification of all finishing drivers as follows: 1st place - $22,000, 2nd place - $18,000, 3rd place - $15,000, 4th place - $12,000, 5th place - $10,000, 6th place - $9,000, 7th place - $8,000, 8th place - $7,500, 9th place - $7,000, 10th place - $6,500, 11th place - $6,000, 12th place - $5,500, 13th place - $5,000, 14th place - $4,500, 15th place - $4,000, 16th place - $3,500, 17th place - $3,000, 18th place - $2,500, 19th place - $2,000, 20th place - $1,500 Also included in the prize money for Season 2 is a cheque for 10,000 US dollars for drivers in pole position. RACE FORMAT Race Day 1: Official Practice Session: Race Day 1 kicks off with the Official Practice Session where Speedcar Series drivers have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the track and the car for a duration of 60 minutes. The practice session is only held on the first day of each event. Race Day 2: Qualifying: Qualifying refers to all the Speedcar Series drivers taking to the track to determine the starting positions on the grid for Race 1. An action-packed event in itself, the Qualifying Session is only conducted on the first race day. During the 30 minute run, every lap is timed and each driver’s best lap time will be recorded as his Qualifying time. The drivers will then be allotted their starting positions on the grid for Race 1 based on their timing in the Qualifying round. The driver with the fastest recorded lap will take pole position. If due to unforeseen and legitimate circumstances a driver could not take part in the Qualifying but has been permitted to race, he will start from the back of the grid.

SPEEDCAR Race 1: Speedcar Series drivers will take to the grid as determined by their qualifying timings. The first 8 drivers past the finish line are awarded points based on the Speedcar Series’ points scale. The race runs for a duration of 45 minutes or a distance of 200 kilometers whichever is reached first. Race Day 3: Warm Up: Race Day 3 begins with a warm up before the final race of the event. This session lasts for 15 minutes and drivers use these parade laps to warm up their engines and tyres. Race 2: The starting grid for Race 2 is determined by the race results from Race 1 on the previous day. The first 8 cars past the chequered flag on the first race day are positioned in reverse order on the grid for Race 2 – the driver in 8th place finish will take pole position for the second race and so on. The remaining 14 cars will remain in the same order as they finished in Race 1. The fastest 8 drivers from Race 2 will be awarded points based on the Speedcar Series’ points scale.
