Before any of the teams arrive at the circuit, it is the responsibility of A1GP Operations to organise the safe arrival of the cars and begin unloading the A1GP freight. There are on average 20 people at each circuit solely dedicated to unloading the A1GP freight. This comprises of three A1GP Operations staff, a local customs co-ordinator, two airload masters, four freight masters, four fork lift drivers and various truck drivers. It takes 40 trips from airport to circuit to fully load and unload the A1GP freight. The cars usually arrive at the race track the week before the race and set up in the paddock commences on the Monday before the race weekend. Set up takes approximately three days.

Pit stops not only need to be quick they also need to be strategically planned for the perfect point in the race. The team need to plan exactly when the best time is to pit - depending on the strategy of competitors and traffic on the track. As the pit lane is a busy, confined area, a pit lane speed limit is enforced. A driver will press the pit limiter as the car crosses a line at the entry of the pit lane, which will quickly bring the car down to a speed of 60km/h. If a car exceeds the speed limit, the team will be fined and the driver will incur a drive through penalty. Pit stops therefore, make up an integral part of the race strategy.公仔箱論壇( ~4 G* W2 v, C% W0 G: W/ E

On track there are a few key regulations. A car’s rear light must be illuminated at all times when running on wet-weather tyres. Should it become necessary to stop a race because the track is blocked by an accident or because weather or other conditions make it dangerous to continue, the Clerk of the Course will order a red flag to be shown at the start/finish line. Simultaneously, red flags will be shown at all Marshals' posts. W8 L% u0 m$ d. t w8 c4 }5 X

Within the car, it is mandatory to wear two shoulder straps, one abdominal strap and two straps between the legs. Drivers must also wear protective clothing and a neck restraint, which supports the head and neck in the event of an accident. 公仔箱論壇1 P5 ^% Z- e- L# K7 }5 u& L

To assess track conditions and control the speed of the field in the event of an incident, there must always be a safety car on standby. The safety car is always driven by an experienced circuit driver. It also carries an A1GP approved observer capable of recognising all cars and is in permanent radio contact with Race Control.5.39.217.768 c& b/ g+ T+ R' G- p: h, t3 A
