General procedures
On-site registration process When arriving at FSA, you first must come to registration booth at the road leading to the Red Bull Ring. Only afterwards, you will be allowed to enter the paddock area and the campsite. However, the campsite is exempt from this rule until Sunday 1pm.
To avoid a rush and waiting times on Monday morning, you can also register on Sunday 13:00-20:00 at the registration booth. Camping wristbands are available on Sunday from 10:00 at the registration booth.
The registration has to be done by the team captain. Please do not bring more than two or three team members to the registration.
Check-list for on-site registration To streamline the registration process and ensure short waiting times for everyone, please only come to the registration booth if you have all of the following items ready:
Cash for additional team members and the campsite fee, please have the exact amount ready if possible; large bank notes are appreciated The knowledge who your Safety Responsible (E-Cars only)/Team Captain is The signed liability waiver
If you do not have these entire things ready, you will have to re-queue (no shortcuts). So please be prepared!
At the end of the registration process, you will get the following things among others. You will also be asked to sign for them, so please check if you got all of them.
Vehicle pass for campsite and parking at the campsite Campsite wristbands (please count them!) Team member badges + covers + lanyards Event T-shirts

Team Captain’s Handbook
Dynamic “pass” safety vests (4 for C-cars / 5 for E-cars) Garbage bags KTM merchandise shirts AVL umbrella (protect your driver from sun or rain )
Parking at Red Bull Ring For all vehicles, parking must take place outside of the event site. This regards especially passenger cars, trucks and motorcycles. The gravel car park at the entrance road of Red Bull Ring provides space for all vehicles. You can park there for free with no limitation in number of vehicles.
Entering the event site / set up day Unloading of your race car and other equipment takes place on Monday morning. The order for entering the event site is based on the scrutineering order (quiz times of the event registration quiz in January 2018; see below). At the parking lot, we will announce the next few teams to get ready for the queueing process. You will be allowed to enter the event site with your team truck, for a time frame of one hour. After one hour, your truck must leave the event site again.
In the case of two teams arriving with one vehicle (i.e. universities attending with both a combustion and an electric team), both teams can enter the event site in the earlier slot.
Teams missing their entrance slot shall get in touch with the queue personnel.
Leaving the event site / closing day After the endurance event, cars are locked up in parc fermé. As soon as your car may leave parc fermé, you have to start packing your equipment and leave the pit within two hours. Your team truck may enter the event site as soon as your car is released from parc fermé.
As soon as your pit is packed, please inform the official at the pit lane, who will also do the cleanness check of your pit.
In any case, all pits must be clean by 18:30.
We will try to start the award ceremony at the campsite as punctual as possible – so please start packing up as early as possible to help us in this endeavor.
Emergencies In case of injuries, please go to the medical center located at the end of the pit lane. For off-site accidents, call the European emergency number 112.
Weather conditions In previous years, we’ve had all weather conditions at Red Bull Ring. By experience, we recommend the following actions:
Sunshine Please prepare yourselves with sufficient sun protection (sun cream, sun glasses, sun hat).
Unfortunately, wasps also enjoy the sunny weather. Fly swats to prevent and cooling gels to cure wasp stings are recommended.

Team Captain’s Handbook
Wind and rain Wind and rain tend to be very intense in this region. Remember to secure tents at the campsite accordingly. Personal rain equipment (jackets, umbrellas, etc.) is strongly recommended.

Team Captain’s Handbook
Pits After you enter the paddock area with your team vehicle, please follow the instructions of the Pit Marshall about vehicle parking.
You can identify your pit either by the plan in this document or the sign with your team name above it. The doors to the pit lane must always remain closed – breaking this rule will lead to immediate penalties up to disqualification.
Usage of tools that are noisy or represent a fire hazard (angle grinder, Dremel, welder, …) is prohibited. Please work outside the pits. Repeat offenders will be penalized.
Power outlets In the pits, there are numerous power outlets of different types. The plan below will give you a rough idea of the type and position of the outlets, so that you can bring matching adapters.
Type A: 3x 230V / 16A 1x 400V / 16A 1x 400V / 32A
Type B: 2x 230V / 16A 1x 400V / 32A 3x compressed air quick connector ½“
Type C: 1x 400V / 16A 1x 400V / 32A 2x 230V / 16A (not all of them)
Bikes, scooters, etc. We understand the need for quick personal transport on and around the event site – therefore bikes, scooters, etc. are NOT forbidden.
However, there are some rules so that we can continue make this concession:
Drive responsibly, do not endanger or scare any people If your vehicle is noisy, do not operate it near the statics pits on Monday If your vehicle is very noisy (IC engine), do not operate it during the “no engine running” times.

Bemo’s guide for scrutineering As always, this year’s edition of Formula Student Austria will start with scrutineering. To make the whole process as efficient as possible and get all cars inspected as soon as possible here is some advice about the process. Please make sure you are on time where you are expected to be and to bring everything which is necessary to avoid unnecessary delays.
The scrutineering order has been set beforehand according to the event registration quiz in January 2018.
Scrutineering will start on Monday at 10am. The first six teams are asked to come to the scrutineering pits on time to make sure there is no delay. If you miss your slot you will be set back to the end of the scrutineering order! E-teams must pass E-scrutineering first. If the slot for the mechanical scrutineering is already over when an electric car passes the electrical inspection, it will get the next free slot.
There will be a marshal who manages the scrutineering list. As soon as there are only three more teams in front of you, you should get on the way to scrutineering.
For the inspection, you have to bring all driver’s equipment you want to use, all drivers with their driving licenses, all tires and rims, your push bar and quick jack device and some tools to be able to remove covers, wheels etc. quickly if scrutineers ask you to do so.
The inspection will start with the check of your driver equipment and the egress tests in front of the scrutineering pits (all drivers have to do the egress test before they are allowed to drive). After the egress test and a check of their driver’s license, the driver will be issued a “driver” wristband. After this, you will be asked to come to the next free scrutineering pit where the inspection will take place. There are only four team members allowed in the scrutineering pits at the same time! It is, of course, possible that one leaves and another team member enters.
If you don’t pass scrutineering on the first try, you have to take your car back your pit and fix the issues which were pointed out by your scrutineers. As soon as you think everything is ok, come back

Team Captain’s Handbook to the scrutineering pits. Inform the scrutineer you have been with that you are ready for re- scrutineering. The re-inspection will always be done by the scrutineer who inspected the car or by the chief scrutineer if he/she should not be available.
Last but not least: Scrutineers don’t like discussions! Be aware that you might just make things worse by not accepting that you need to change something ;-)
Tilt & noise To make sure that the car is in the ready-to-run configuration for the official weighing at the tilt table, you will be required to do the noise test immediately after the tilt test. Also, you need to mount the tire & rim combination that you intend to run in dry conditions. If you are not able to do the noise test (no fuel, missing parts, etc.), you will be required to re-do tilt &weighing before the next attempt.
Brake test The maximum number of attempts per run is 3. After that, you will have to re-queue for the brake test.
Static events
Cost and design The Schedule for Cost and Design has been made so that
Design & Cost are back-to back (with very few exceptions) so that you have more continuous time to tackle scrutineering You do not have to leave the judging Bay between Cost and Design Teams from the same university are in the same time slot to avoid “leaking” expertise
To be more consistent and efficient, the judging will be started / stopped by an external audio signal (horn), so be sure to be there on time.
Business presentation The Business presentation rooms are spread out over the event area – make sure you know where they are ahead of time. Please also make sure to bring a device capable of VGA and HDMI and consider a spare laptop, just to be on the safe side. On Monday, the Business presentation rooms will be open for equipment test.

Dynamic events
Engine testing If you need to run your engine, you can do that next to the practice area. The driven wheels must be jacked up and the driver must wear full safety gear.
Event closing The Events will terminate at the time indicated in the schedule unless announced otherwise.
When the Event is over, a horn will sound. Cars that have already been green-flagged may complete their run.
So please be sure to queue on time!
Brake lights Please note that a non-functioning brake light (never/always on) is considered a safety issue and that a car with problem may be black-flagged during the endurance.
Working on the cars inside the dynamic area For all dynamic events, working on the car is not allowed in the lanes leading up to the starting line. If you need to adjust your wings/pedals etc. between the runs, you must leave the lane and go back to the staging area (the area where you can warm up your engine etc.)
Tire protection Inside the dynamic area, no tire protection is allowed. It must be taken off at the entrance to the warm-up area and may only be re-applied when leaving the dynamic area.
No help zone Using external batteries to start the car is acceptable inside the dynamic Area but is prohibited as soon as the car has crossed “no help zone” line. If you encounter problems preventing you from running after crossing the line, the run counts as DNF. The position of the no help zone will be announced in the driver briefings and is visually indicated.
Timing transponders Please remove all UHF-Band transponders (especially those from FSG) from your car before the event.
If you have no use for your used FSG Transponders, bring them to the FSA event control, so they can have a second life as FSA transponder ;-)

Campsite Please absolutely conform to the camping rules stated also in this document (main rule: no loud noise after 10pm). Misbehavior and problems with the neighbors and law enforcement could have serious implications for FSAs future and, more immediately, the closing ceremony/party on Thursday. Ignorance of the camping rules, if brought to our attention, will therefore be counted as “unsportsmanlike behavior” and penalized accordingly.
Campsite regulations 1. The night hours are from 10 pm to 6 am. During this time, all activities which are likely to disturb night sleep are strictly prohibited. 2. The campsite may be entered only after registration and payment, except on Sunday until 1 pm. You are required to wear the provided bracelets during the whole stay on the campground. 3. It’s not allowed to dig holes or channels into the ground. 4. Open fire, such as bonfires and pyrotechnics are not allowed. 5. Field damage, caused e.g. by tents, caravans, trailers or group activities are charged with monetary fines. 6. Keep the campsite clean. Please collect the waste in trash bags. 7. Please keep the sanitary installations clean. 8. Defined areas such as streets must not be used for camping. Teams may set up their tents and equipment in the designated areas; defined/marked areas such as streets must remain clear at all times. 9. Campsite closes on Friday, 12 am (noon). 10. Traffic rules (Straßenverkehrsordnung, StVO) apply on the whole campsite. The speed limit is 10 km/h. 11. Parking next to the campsite is only permitted for vehicles with a maximum permissible weight of 7.5 metric tons. (including trailers and semi-trailers) 12. To support your logistics, a maximum of two vehicles may enter or leave the campsite repeatedly during the event. Only cars with the special sticker handed out at on-site registration can pass the campsite entrance. The stickers are self-destructive labels and can only be applied to a vehicle once; interchanging of these taxi vehicles is not permitted. 13. Caravans, trailers and other vehicles which will remain on the campsite may enter the area on setup day and must not be moved throughout the course of the event. 14. In any case, vehicles with a permissible maximum weight, including any trailer or semi-trailer, exceeding 7.5 tonnes are strictly forbidden to enter the campsite at any time. These vehicles must be parked at the designated spot at Red Bull Ring (see diagram above). 15. Parking on country roads (especially L544 - next to the campsite) is strictly prohibited. 16. Drones or other flying equipment is strictly prohibited both on the campsite as well as on the event grounds. 17. FSA may expel you from the campsite or charge your team with penalty points and/or monetary fines after significant or repeated violations of the camping regulations. In that case, you are not entitled to any refunds.

Area around the Red Bull Ring If you visit Austria or even Europe for the first time, the following hints and tips might be interesting for you. (information is spiced up with fun facts)
1. Austria is called the “Heart of Europe” It's not an island, it's really located in centre of Europe; the -al- (i.e. AustrALia) makes the difference.
2. The official language in Austria is German In some regions (including also Spielberg where the competition takes place), it may sound a little different. That's called 'Mundart', 'Dialekt' or 'Steirisch' or simply 'higher level German'. The official language at FSA is English, which most people at stores and everybody at Red Bull Ring speak.
3. We use the metric system and only the metric system Hint for visitors from Germany: 100 g = 10 dag Sahne = Schlagobers Apfelschorle = Apfelsaft g'spritzt Tüte = Sackerl Brötchen = Semmel oder Weckerl Weinschorle = Spritzer Wiener Würstchen = Frankfurter
4. We use 230V AC with Type C and type F power plugs. Make sure to bring adapters Type C: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug Type F: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuko
5. Water in Austria is one of the best all over the world You can drink water directly from the pipe unless it's explicitly prohibited ("Kein Trinkwasser").

6. Credit card vs. Cash Paying cash is best practice in Austria. Euro is the currency to use, USD or any other currency will not be accepted.
Big stores and hotels also accept major credit cards.
Maestro / Cirrus will work at all major retail stores; V-pay may work as well.
7. Emergency calls (free of charge) European emergency call: 112 Fire brigade: 122 Police: 133 Ambulance: 144
8. Internet access / Mobile Phone Apart from the cheap roaming options inside the EU (as of June 2017), there are free WiFi hotspots available at FSA. However, you might consider getting yourself a mobile internet SIM card, to use at the camp site or such. We recommend to get a HoT package, available at Hofer (see below).
For literally no money you can get 3GB data incl. LTE (5,90 EUR), 1000 minutes/sms + 4GB of data incl. LTE (9,90 EUR), 1000 minutes/sms + 6GB incl. LTE (13,90 EUR). For more details, please have a look at https://www.hot.at/tarife
