FIA ETCR – Electric Safety Fast

The FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup is not only at the forefront of technology, it’s also leading the way when it comes to safety with the FIA working in close collaboration with WSC Group Leaning on the experience gained over the years of managing high-voltage technologies in motor sport, a set of high voltage safety procedures were developed in order to mitigate associated risks at FIA ETCR events. With batteries running in the region of 800V, the ETCR-spec cars are in the high-voltage domain and therefore require specific attention and care.

Ad FIA ETCRMartin: FIA ETCR took understanding at first3 HOURS AGO In terms of operational safety, the FIA has studied existing high voltage safety regulations and consulted experts from the field to develop the new FIA e-safety regulations covering equipment, procedures and briefings for all, from officials and volunteers to medical, rescue and recovery crews. A new role – the FIA e-Safety Delegate – was also created to oversee the implementation of the new regulations and procedures, to ensure compliance of the installation and teams’ equipment, to deliver e-safety briefings and to coordinate on-track interventions.

During all sessions, the FIA e-Safety Delegate will remain on standby in the pits. If an incident occurs, the FIA e-Safety Delegate will be the first person on-site to coordinate rescue and recovery procedures while remaining in contact with Race Control.

All FIA operational staff, including officials and volunteers, must attend a mandatory FIA e-safety briefing delivered on-site. In addition, an online e-learning platform is available prior to the event.
