As from January 1-2024,,Self Extraction Tests are to be carried out at ALL Motor Racing Events,,including Sprints (Supersprints),Club,State,National + International events.

What is required= the driver,,,fully kitted in race conditions,comes to the Scrutineering Bay etc,,and get out of the car in 15 seconds.

2025 will be 10 seconds.

For those with Log Booked cars,,it will be entered into your log book= SET Pass,with name + licence number.

For those without log booked cars,,times will be recorded with name,,licence number and be given to the Organising Club,,,to keep a record,,and Submitted to Motorsport Australia.
If you drive another car,,,another test will be required for that car.

Example,,,a car goes out on the Circuit for a race meeting Practice,,Qualifying,,,etc,,,goes Straight to the Scrutineering bay etc,,where an Official will make sure you have all the Safety gear on= helmets,,seat belt,harness etc.
He will brief you on what is required= Get out of the car within 15 Seconds.

We have conducted Hundreds of these tests,,with very few failures,,mainly in Log booked cars with Roll cages,Harnesses,,Hans devices,Helmets,Race seats,window nets etc.

Its a bit of fun,,but practice it before you get checked.

All to be completed by December 31st 2024,,where 2005 will be 10 seconds.

Interesting post Rob. I was talking to a 75 y.o Group M driver on the weekend and mentioned this. He said he has extracted himself from his car in 2.5 seconds, just after he found out the car was on fire !!!.
