The FIM Grand Prix Commission announced updates to Pit Lane Procedures ahead of the French Grand Prix.
Here is the statement from the FIM GP Commission:
The Grand Prix Commission, composed of Messrs. Paul Duparc (FIM), Mike Webb (IRTA), Biense Bierma (MSMA) and Carmelo Ezpeleta (MotoGP SEG, Chairman) in the presence of Jorge Viegas (FIM President), Carlos Ezpeleta (MotoGP SEG), Corrado Cecchinelli (Director of Technology), Paul King (FIM CCR Director) and Dominique Hebrard (FIM CTI Technical Director), made the following decision:
Pitlane Entry
The Pit Lane Procedures have been formally updated in the regulations, in line with the Race Direction pitlane entry protocol issued ahead of the French Grand Prix.
In all track sessions including races, the only permitted pit lane entry and exit is by using the designated entry/exit point and route, defined by the broken white line, following the pit lane entry road and crossing the designated pit lane entry timing point. In all cases the specific information issued by Race Direction for each circuit applies defining prohibited routes. In case the broken white line is not crossed or the full pit lane entry/exit road is not used, the Stewards may penalise as appropriate.
A regularly updated version of the FIM Grand Prix Regulations which contains the detailed text of the regulation changes may be viewed HERE.
