THE FOLLOWING PARAPGRAPH WILL BE PART OF THE 2009 FERRARI CHALLENGE RULES BOOK:
IV. K. SPARE (“T”) CARS
Each driver will be permitted to bring one (and only one) additional spare car to each event. Its use will be governed by the following requirements:
a. The spare car will be prepared in full accordance with these rules, and will be identified by the driver’s assigned number plus the letter “T” in the same size and style. For example, the spare car for a driver who used the number “00” would be identified on the hood and doors as “00T”.
b. The spare car will undergo the regular Technical Inspection by the Ferrari North America Technical Staff, who will record the spare car’s chassis number. Other than for Technical Inspection, the spare car must remain in the team’s transporter at all times.
c. The driver may replace his primary race car with the spare car if the driver has an accident which does not involve another car, and which damages the driver’s car beyond repair at the event. The determination as to whether the car can be repaired at the event will be sole decision of the Ferrari North America Technical Staff, and cannot be appealed. The spare car may not be used for any purpose until approved by the Ferrari North America Technical Staff.
d. A driver may change cars only once per event. Once the spare car has been approved for use the primary race car may not be used during the balance of the event.
e. If a spare car is approved for use following a qualifying session, the spare car will start at the back of the grid for the following race. A spare car may never use a grid position earned by the primary race car.
