Driver Suspensions

In the event of a driver being suspended from driving in races for a period, such person may be permitted, upon application, to fulfill any drives for which they have been engaged if the driver declaration deadline for that meeting has passed.

Any driver who has been engaged for drives for a meeting at acceptance time, and is subsequently suspended before driver declaration deadline for that meeting, may not be permitted to fulfill those drives other than in exceptional circumstances approved by Stewards.

It is the suspended driver's responsibility to notify affected trainers if he/she is ineligible to drive.

A suspended driver may be eligible to drive in Qualifying and Official Trials, unless otherwise directed by the Stewards.
