The actual racing consists of a series of several heats, between 4 or more

into consideration the heats staged before and after the interruption.
b) When a meeting is interrupted before the accomplishment of 50% of
the scheduled heats per participant but cannot continue the same
day, then, the results of the staged heats will not be taken into
consideration. The meeting will be re-staged from the beginning on

c) When a meeting is interrupted and cannot continue on the same

accomplished, then, the meeting must be considered as valid. The
position in the final classification will be established by adding the
points scored by each participant (Rider or Team) in the same number
of accomplished heats which means that when a participant (Rider or
Team) had the opportunity to accomplish one more heat than the other
participants, then, that heat must not be taken into consideration
(example: an individual meeting is interrupted after heat 14 and cannot
continue the same day. The final classification will then be established
taking into consideration only heats 1 to 12). This rule applies entirely
to each single day of a 2 days Ice Racing meeting.

racing is interrupted before 50% of the scheduled heats per participant
for that day have been accomplished, then the International Jury,
taking into consideration the track and weather conditions, will decide
if the Organisers can re-stage the 2nd day or consider, for the final
classification only the results of the 1st day.
If an FIM Track Racing Championship meeting comprising a qualifying
round, semifinal, Race Off or Challenge cannot be staged or restaged or
reallocated to an alternative venue or FMN for exceptional circumstances
(i.e. Weather) that are acceptable to the CCP Bureau, the CCP Bureau at

a number between 1 and 15, which will be valid for the FIM U21 World
Championship of that year. This number will follow the draw made in FIM

and bikes. They may choose any riding number with a maximum of 3 digits
provided that it has not previously been allocated to another Rider, the
number cannot start with a 0. Riding numbers 1 to 22 are reserved for the
use of FIM only. To request a specific personal racing number the Rider
must send an application to FIM within a set deadline. Should more than
one Rider request the same number, preference will be given to either
the Rider who has a clear history of adopting that number, or if this is not
the case for either Rider, then the higher ranked Rider will be allocated
this number. Other Riders will then need to select an alternative number.
Riders who have not requested a specific personal riding number within
the deadline will be required to use their allocated U21 number. The FIM
U21 Promoter will supply the riding number jackets and it is compulsory
for each Rider to wear this riding number jacket at all times during TV
Interviews, Draws, Practice, Parade, Press Conferences, Racing, Prize-
Giving Ceremony and in the pits area. The covering of any part of the riding
number jacket in any way is not permitted. All Riding Number Jackets will
need to be signed out when received and signed back in when returned by

be given to the better placed Rider in the heat or heats where the
2 Riders met.

precedence (e.g. 3 Riders tied on points: A, B, C:
• Rider A has beaten Rider B
• Rider A has beaten Rider C
