|  | European FISD rulebook
« Thread Started on Sept 25, 2011, 11:23am » | |
Hello:
I've just translated the FISD ( formerly known as CECCAS ) rulebook. It's aplicable in all European Cup and European Championships, with riders of 8 countries: Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, Latvia, Switzerland and Czech Republic.
The original ones ( in french ):
- General rulebook: http://www.speeddown-ceccas.com/R%C3%A9glement.pdf
- C1-C4 classes ruulebook ( single driver soapbox ): http://www.speeddown-ceccas.com/R%C3%A9glement%20C1-C4.pdf
Keep them open in another window to see the pictures. Translation includes calls to pictures and words in pictures are translated between [ ] signs.
Pleas fell free to correct translation mistakes ( I hope there won't be many... ). To put it into a .pdf you can extract pictures from original .pdf, compose the document in Word and generate a new .pdf.
---------------------------

K. Technical control
Technical control ( including weighting ) can be made at any moment during competition, evenafter finish but before results validation ( to controlate possible modifications made after first official technical control ). Vehicle weight must remain constant all along the race. Pilot ( and co-pilot in C5, C6 and C7 classes ) must cooperate with technical marshal in case of technical control or weighting. All technical marshall dessitions will be sent to FISD comitee and are irrevocable.
Every pilot and copilot must present its equipment ( helmet, gloves, clothing, compulsory protection ).
III BUILDING AND SECURITY RULEBOOK
A. All categories
1. Chassis.
Chassis must be built only with solid materials that guarantee the stability of the diameters and technical parameters of this rulebook. Al assemblies must be solid and made through welding, bolts, rivets, or enough resistant glues ( C6 bobcar only welding ).
Chassis building is free if assemblies are rigid and don't allow inelastic torsion. Chassis elasticity must come only from flexibility of materials. Nuts must be assured by another nut, nylstop or frein fillet.
Chassis definition
Mobile or fix frame, made from metal or wood that surrounds or supports. Rectangular assembly that supports a vehicle's fairing.
2. Floor
It can be made of various pieces, it must protect riders all over their bodies and must be assemled to chassis. It can ve covered by a 2 mm thick plastic or ruber sheet.
3. Fairing
If it's allowed in category, it must have a solid construction. Free materials and shape. It can be made from one or more pieces, but itmust be easily opend in case of technical control. For riders safety, all inside and outside sharp edges must be eliminated. Minimum radius of 5 mm. Fairing must be firmly attached to chassis without any possibility of loosing it durnig downhill. In C1 to C4 classes, a 200 mm minimum height fairing ( from chassis bottom ) must cover forn part and both lateral sides. In case od a closed cockpit, the opening purt must be firmly attached to chassis or main fairing and must be possible to open it both from inside and outside of the vehicle. For better accsess to start ramp, a minimum of 10º angle is recomended in front and rear part of the underside. In case that rigidity of front part of fairing is not enough for pilot safety, a reinforcing arc is compulsory. Drivers legs must be protected by a security arc in case of overturn ( see fig. 9 ). Soapbox building must keep riders safety.
4. Windshield
Windshield must be made of a unbreakable material. If thickness is under 4mm, its edge must be protected with a plastic or rubber band. If thickness is over 4mm it can be radioused - see fig. 1
5 Axles.
Except for category C7 ( Carrioli ), axles must be made of steel and firmly attached to suspension links or chassis without any flex possibility. It is allowed to mount them over firmly attached bearings.
6. Steering
Steering must keep dead turn to a minimum. For all categories except C7 ( Carrioli ) it can be applied to all wheels.
7. Brakes
In categories C1, C2, C3, C4 and C6, hydraiulic braking circuit must be double according to fig. 2.

9. Security arc
Security arc is compulsory for C1 to C4 classes. It must be firmly attached to chassis on each side and by a countefort on the rear part. See fig. 4
Tube must be at least 25mm diameter and 2 mm thick. An imaginary line connecting top of security arc and top of front part of fairing must be at least 100 mm apart from top of helmet in driving position. See fig. 4.
[ HELMET ]
A second security arc can be welded in top of the first one only if its internal measurings are less than 200 mm high and 100 mm wide. See fig. 5.
Counterforts of security arc must be welded or bolted to it without piercing it. See fig. 6.
[ WELDING / COUNTERFORT / SECURITY ARC / ¿? ]
The attachment of security arc to chassis must not lessen its resistance. This kind of attachment must be eliminated. See fig. 7
Recomended security arc - chassis attacment. See fig. 8.
[ SECURITY ARC / WELDING / CHASSIS ]
If vehicle is built from a self-supporting fairing, security arc must be attached to the bottom part of vehicle.
10. Tire pressure
Maximum tire pressure for C1 to C6 categories is 4,9 bar and for C8 class is 3,5 bar. No tolerance allowed. If meassured pressure is over allowed maximum, the pilot will be disqualified in that heat. All rider not respecting these max pressures ( or recomended maximum pressure indicated on tire if under 4,9 bar ) will assume all liability in case of an accident. See paragrah J. Liability.
For C1 to C8 classes, tire valves must be accesible under all circunstances both in front and rear tires.

Many thanks for that - I appreciate the work you've put into that. There are some interesting ideas in there, some of which (neck protection, tow points front and rear, harness fixing point positions) we were already considering for Cairngorm in 2012.
One interesting point I picked up on that has a bearing on wheel size selection - I notice you have a maximum tyre pressure of 4.9bar (71psi). That's something we thought about and rejected due to the difficulty in enforcing it and the temptation to run under pressured tyres.
Many teams in the UK would routinely run pressures much higher than that, and as I'm sure you're aware, tyre pressure has a significant effect on rolling resistance. The 20" tyres we use are typically rated to 110psi (7.6bar). High pressure tyres at smaller rim sizes are hard to find. Given that you've limited the tyre pressure as well as the size, that would eliminate one of the advantages that the slightly large tyres have.

In technical inspection they check:
- Admisitrative: license, insurance, etc.
- Meassures and weight.
- Security: personal equipment, harness, distance between fairing-security arc and top of helmet, sharp edges, tire pressure, etc.
- Braking: they just use the final part of the track you make some 30-50 m coast down and you have to brake hard after one line and stop before another line some 3-5 meters later.
By the way, there are a lot of 2011 European Championships here: http://www.zonagravedad.com/images/Cronicas/2011/Moras_en_Valloire/index.html

II. GENERAL REGULATIONS
The technical regulations imposed in all categories:
A. Documents
The international license FISD (ex C.E.C.C.A.S.)
The registration card for the European Championship
The accident insurance, liability for damages to third parties.
B. Clothing pilots and copilots
Combination or two pieces including pants and long sleeved jacket, a helmet
approved full, sturdy shoes and closed, gloves without holes (cycling gloves
prohibited and wool). Full equipment will protect the entire body so
effective. A neck brace type karting is recommended. For specific equipment
mandatory, see block exemption regulation.
Full equipment is mandatory for all during the descent and ascent (in
traction on deck truck, trailer or plateau) of racing cars.
C. The weights
They are enabled to maximum weight of each category, but they must be fixed
firmly screw systems with minimum size M8 avoiding any loosening or
movement during the journey. For exceeding the authorized weight limit, the
driver is disqualified for the round where the weight limit has been exceeded.
The organizer must allow the pilot to weigh his car racing and even before any
time of the competition. D. Motive power
All devices capable of supplying power to the vehicle running as an electric motor,
springs, pedals, wheels, cranks, etc.. are prohibited in all categories. The only
energy is allowed gravitational energy. The use of dry batteries of more than 3.5V, of
acid batteries, spray, gas, compressed air or other energy sources are
prohibited on all vehicles.
E. Board camera, speedometers, stopwatches etc.
The board cameras, the speedometers to type battery cycling, including
type models with motor racing computer data transfer are
allowed. They are allowed if set before scrutineering.
F. Towing
C7 except for category (Carrioli) attachment points securely affixed to the front and rear
each race vehicle are required. Each race vehicle will have its
own rope or tow strap of at least 1.5 meters long, a resistor
more than 700 kg and provided at each end of snap hooks same resistance. The use of
wire rope is prohibited.
G. Geometry of vehicles
Adjustment systems:
- The geometry
- The ground clearance
- The suspension
are permitted, the vehicle stopped and before the race.
Systems changing the aerodynamic parameters of the vehicle during the race are
allowed. The resulting energy to operate these systems must be only
mechanics (see point D).
H. Lubrication and cooling
Lubrication systems and cooling members rotating during
courses are prohibited (eg tanks, aerosol, etc..).
I. Race Numbers
Figures should be black on a white background with a minimum height of 100mm.
For positioning numbers, apply the rules of each class.
J. Responsibility
The owner and the driver (or his legal representative) is responsible for making what is
constructed and installed on the vehicle running including the dimensions of chassis, wheels,
(Tire inflation is the responsibility of the driver or parents), its areas,
brakes, the correct attaK. MOT
Control technique (including weighing) may be made at any time of the
competition, even after the end but before the validation of results. This holds especially for
changes can be made to the various race vehicles during
competition and this after the first technical inspection. The weight of the vehicle
race must remain the same throughout the duration of the race. The pilot (and copilot in
categories C5-C7) are at the disposal of the Commissioner in case of technical
technical inspection or weighing. All decisions of scrutineers will
submitted to committee will be final and FISD.
Engineering controls, each pilot and copilot, must have their equipment
(Helmet, gloves, pads required, clothing).
III. RULES OF CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY
A. For all categories
1. Chassis
The frame should be constructed using only solid materials which guarantee
the invariability of diameters and technical parameters provided by Regulation. All
assemblies must be strong and carried by welds, screws, rivets or adhesives
sufficient strength. The construction of the chassis is free from the manufacturer. Nuts
must be insured by pins, cons-nuts, nylon shaft collars (nut
Nylstop) or glues and pastes braking nets.
Definition of the chassis
Assembly of solid materials, which form the main structure with the vehicle.
2. Floor
The floor may consist of several parts, it must protect the crew throughout the
length of their body and must be assembled to the chassis. The interposition of rubber or
plastic with a maximum thickness of 2 mm is allowed.
3. Body
If permitted in the category, the body must be of sound construction. The
building materials are free, like the shape of the bodywork. The body can
be one or more parts, but easily removable in case of control. For
crew safety, we must eliminate the rough edges or sharp angular (and even within
outside). Provide for minimum radii of 5mm. The bodywork must be securely attached to
frame without the possibility of loosening during the journey. In the C1 to C4
body with a minimum height of 200mm from the bottom edge of the frame must cover the
front and sides of the vehicle running. If the body is closed, the opening part mustchment of nimble, etc..
K. MOT
Control technique (including weighing) may be made at any time of the
competition, even after the end but before the validation of results. This holds especially for
changes can be made to the various race vehicles during
competition and this after the first technical inspection. The weight of the vehicle
race must remain the same throughout the duration of the race. The pilot (and copilot in
categories C5-C7) are at the disposal of the Commissioner in case of technical
technical inspection or weighing. All decisions of scrutineers will
submitted to committee will be final and FISD.
Engineering controls, each pilot and copilot, must have their equipment
(Helmet, gloves, pads required, clothing).
III. RULES OF CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY
A. For all categories
1. Chassis
The frame should be constructed using only solid materials which guarantee
the invariability of diameters and technical parameters provided by Regulation. All
assemblies must be strong and carried by welds, screws, rivets or adhesives
sufficient strength. The construction of the chassis is free from the manufacturer. Nuts
must be insured by pins, cons-nuts, nylon shaft collars (nut

2. Floor
The floor may consist of several parts, it must protect the crew throughout the
length of their body and must be assembled to the chassis. The interposition of rubber or
plastic with a maximum thickness of 2 mm is allowed.
3. Body
If permitted in the category, the body must be of sound construction. The
building materials are free, like the shape of the bodywork. The body can
be one or more parts, but easily removable in case of control. For
crew safety, we must eliminate the rough edges or sharp angular (and even within
outside). Provide for minimum radii of 5mm. The bodywork must be securely attached to
frame without the possibility of loosening during the journey. In the C1 to C4
body with a minimum height of 200mm from the bottom edge of the frame must cover the
front and sides of the vehicle running. If the body is closed, the opening part must surely be fixed to the main chassis or frame and the opening must
be carried out inside and outside the vehicle running. For better
accessibility of the starting ramp, a minimum angle of attack is 10 degrees
recommended. In case of insufficient rigidity of the front part of the bodywork of a hoop
reinforcement is required. The pilot's legs must be protected by an arch, if
reversal (see Figure 11). The construction of the box shall be securely
for the pilot.
4. Windshield
The windshield must be made of a material that can not be broken. If it is a
less than 4 mm thickness, it must be protected on its thickness by the bandage or plastic
rubber. If the thickness exceeds 4 mm just round the edge - see Figure 1.
Figure 1
5. axes
Except for Class C7 (Carrioli) axes must be of steel frame, and secured
axle or to the chassis, the possibility of flexion. By this we understand the same
possibility of mounting the axis to the chassis using a sleeve with the bearings in
which it can rotate freely.
6. direction
Management must have a minimum clearance. For all categories except that of C7 (Carrioli)
it can be performed on all wheels.
7. brakes
In C1, C2, C3, C4 and C6 brake system hydraulic on all four wheels
must be double circuit, regardless of the diagram - see Figure 2.
Figure 2
Warning: crates, C1, C2, C3, C4, C6, C8 and C9 with mechanical braking system or
Hydraulic (pulling, pulley, spreader), equipped with a single pulling is prohibited, it must be mounted in double
8. harness
The harness is mandatory for all categories C1 to C4, 3-point system minimum, of
type rally. The reels are prohibited even blocked. The harness must be worn tight
throughout the journey (descent and ascent). The harness protection of the driver must
spend on the bow or on the seat if the seat is strong enough.
9. Rollbar
The roll cage is required for C1 to C4. It must be securely fixed to
frame on each side and retained by a support attached to the rear of the chassis - see Figure 6a, 6b.
The tube used must be of minimum diameter 25 mm, minimum thickness 2mm. The right
junction between the top of the roll bar and the highest point of the front part of
the body must pass at least 100 mm of the driver's helmet in position ready to
departure - see Figure 6a and 6b.
Figure 6a
(150mm is a horizontal distance, the arch must prevent the passage of the helmet? Headrest)
Enhancement (a max extension) of the bow is allowed, provided it is welded to
the arch and that existing parameters of the arch (Ø25mm 2mm thickness of the tube) are
respected and that internal measures not exceeding 200 mm and 100 mm
width - see Figure 7. Respecting the rule of 65% mini with side supports
ps: for the rest, there is no change compared to the previous version
