SPORTING REGULATIONS

INTRODUCTION

These regulations are intended to assist in the conduct of Competitions and to further general safety. They are a guide
and in no way guarantee against injury or death to participants, spectators or others. No express or implied warranties of
safety or fitness for a particular purpose shall be intended or result from publication or compliance with these regulations.
By applying for a competition licence and/or by entering a competition event, all participants are deemed to have
understood and accepted these terms, including that motorsport is inherently dangerous and it is each participant’s
obligation to meet and maintain compliance with all regulations to reduce the risk of death or injury to self or others,
recognizing that such risk is inherent to the sport and cannot be completely eliminated. It is ultimately the obligation
of each Member to ensure that their conduct and equipment comply with all applicable FEL Motorsports rules, as they
may be amended throughout the season. The 2023 Sporting Regulations supersede all previous editions of the Sporting
Regulations as well as all amendments thereto, and shall remain in force and effect until superseded by any future edition
of Sporting Regulations or further amendments.
This is an important document. All FEL Motorsports documents and events are intended to promote safety and
enhance the FEL Motorsports series’ competion. These regulations ensure the quality, fairness, and integrity of the FEL
Motorsports events and operations. All participating Drivers, Entrants and Participants in the Sports Car Championship
Canada Series and Emzone Radical Cup Canada Series acknowledge that they are aware of, and agree to adhere to,
these Series Regulations and the terms stated therein. Failure to read, understand, and comply with the rules provides no
relief from the rules. Please contact the appropriate department if you have any questions in relation to these rules.
In any rare instance(s) of extraordinary circumstance(s) where strict application of the Sporting Regulations does not
achieve safety, enhance competition, or ensure quality, fairness and integrity of the events and operations, Directors
and Officials may make a determination that is inconsistent with the Sporting Regulations. Such determinations are not
reviewable and to be deemed final.
