SET= Self Extraction test)

[giulia_veloce]

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 !!!.

This weekend is NSW State Chhampionships
Will do Over 50 extractions from 10 different categorys. I Will advise how many.

Last round of of the NSW State Championships at 1 Raceway (Wakefield Park)..and supp regs stated= no competitor could Race,,unless the 15 second Self Evacuation Test was done previously.
We did our best and got a few Categorys done..but the weather turned against us,,Stewards were not happy where it was being done,,so we gave up.

10 seconds next year 2025,,so start practiceing.
