A vehicle in ready to race condition with aero package including front, rear and side wings is being pushed with the help of a push bar. Which of the following statements is false?
Correct Answer(s)
A. The driver should wear arm restraints
B. 2 members should be present on either side of vehicle for each wing
Explanation
The statement "The driver should wear arm restraints" is true. Arm restraints are necessary to prevent the driver's arms from extending outside the vehicle and getting injured during the race. The statement "2 members should be present on either side of the vehicle for each wing" is also true. This is important to ensure that the wings are properly supported and do not get damaged while the vehicle is being pushed. The statement "The push bar should be red in color and be presented during technical inspection" is true as well. The push bar needs to be easily visible and meet the safety regulations. The statement "The driver must have full control of steering and braking" is false because when the vehicle is being pushed, the driver does not have control over the steering and braking.

If the inspection responsible person is not able to perform the tech inspection when asked by organizers, then
Correct Answer
B. Team will be asked to leave the technical inspection area
Explanation
If the inspection responsible person is unable to perform the tech inspection when asked by organizers, the team will be asked to leave the technical inspection area. This means that they will not be able to proceed with the inspection process and may not be allowed to compete in the event. It is important for the responsible person to be present and able to carry out the inspection in order to ensure the safety and compliance of the team's vehicle.

Which of the following is/are false regarding the EDR
Correct Answer
D. All of the above
Explanation
The statement "Cover sheets and table of contents are not counted as text pages" is false because cover sheets and table of contents are considered as text pages in the EDR. The statement "The three EDR drawings should be rendered images" is false because the EDR drawings can be either rendered images or scanned images. The statement "Multiple drawings can appear on a single page" is false because each drawing should be on a separate page in the EDR. Therefore, all of the above statements are false.
7.
During the endurance event, if a vehicle has a restart problem at the driver change or after a red flag, it is allowed ______ sec to restart the engine or to enable the tractive system.
Correct Answer
120
Explanation
In endurance events, it is important for vehicles to be able to restart their engines or enable their tractive systems quickly after a driver change or a red flag. This is because any delay in restarting the vehicle could result in a loss of valuable time and position in the race. Therefore, to ensure fair competition, vehicles are allowed 120 seconds to restart the engine or enable the tractive system in such situations.
8.
What is the minimum height (mm) of the Percy?
Correct Answer
1835
Explanation
The given answer, 1835, is the minimum height (in millimeters) of the Percy. This implies that the Percy cannot be any shorter than 1835 mm.
9.
If one of the track width of the car is 1000 mm what is the total of minimum and maximum possible second track width in mm?
Correct Answer
C. 2083
Explanation
Since the first track width is given as 1000 mm, the second track width must be greater than or equal to 1000 mm. The minimum possible second track width would be 1000 mm, and the maximum possible second track width would be the sum of the first track width and the maximum difference between the two track widths, which is 1083 mm. Therefore, the total of the minimum and maximum possible second track width is 1000 + 1083 = 2083 mm.
10.
In case of failure to obey a flag, the penalty is
Correct Answer
A. 60 sec
Explanation
Failure to obey a flag during a race typically results in a time penalty. In this case, the penalty for not obeying a flag is 60 seconds. This means that the offender's race time will be increased by 60 seconds as a punishment for their failure to follow the instructions given by the flag.
11.
The accumulator hand cart must have a brake which needs to be actuated by a brake wire.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation

12.
The penalty (minimum) for vehicle to vehicle contact is ___ s.
Correct Answer
120
Explanation
The penalty for vehicle to vehicle contact is 120 seconds. This means that if two vehicles make contact during a race, they will receive a penalty of 120 seconds added to their overall race time. This penalty is imposed to discourage drivers from making intentional or reckless contact with other vehicles, as it can lead to dangerous situations on the track. By imposing a significant penalty, race organizers aim to promote fair and safe racing.
13.
A team uses 4 AIRs in their system. In case the shutdown circuit is opened, is it sufficient if at least 2 of them open?
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
In this scenario, the team is using 4 AIRs (Automatic Isolation Relays) in their system. The question asks whether it is sufficient for at least 2 of them to open when the shutdown circuit is opened. The correct answer is False. This means that it is not sufficient for only 2 AIRs to open in this situation. The implication is that all 4 AIRs need to open when the shutdown circuit is opened for the system to function properly or safely.
14.
Which of the following is true for the inertia switch?
Correct Answer
A. It must be a part of shutdown system
Explanation
The correct answer is that the inertia switch must be a part of the shutdown system. This means that it is designed to automatically shut down or disable certain systems or functions in a vehicle in the event of a crash or sudden deceleration. The inertia switch is typically activated by a sudden change in acceleration or deceleration, such as during a collision, and it triggers the shutdown system to prevent further damage or potential hazards. This ensures the safety of the occupants and helps to prevent further accidents or injuries.
15.
Which of the following is necessary if alternate steel tubes are used?
Correct Answer(s)
A. Documentation about heat treatments
B. Composition of steel tubes
C. Tests showing adequate strength and elongation at break for the tube
D. Documentation of filler materials used in welding
Explanation
If alternate steel tubes are used, it is necessary to have documentation about heat treatments because different types of steel require specific heat treatments to achieve the desired properties. The composition of steel tubes is also necessary to ensure that the material meets the required specifications and can withstand the intended use. Additionally, tests showing adequate strength and elongation at break for the tube are necessary to ensure that the tubes can withstand the expected loads and forces. Lastly, documentation of filler materials used in welding is necessary to ensure that the welding process is done correctly and that the joints are strong and durable.
