permitted and that person must be: 1.5.1 correctly restrained in the passenger’s seat with the safety harness (Rule C 14.2) properly fastened, 1.5.2 protected by a window net conforming to Rule C 14.3; 1.5.3 wearing a properly fastened safety helmet (Rule C 18.1), 1.5.4 wearing clothing conforming to Rule C 18.3; 1.5.5 wearing closed shoes (no thongs, sandals, or similar footwear), and 1.5.6 not carrying any hand-held objects such as a camera of any type. © AVESCO Feb. 2003 - Division “E”

Updated 20/10/03 Page E 7 E 3 COMPETITION NUMBERS E 3.1 Allocation & Register The allocation of all competition numbers for Cars is solely the responsibility of AVESCO, which will maintain a register of all competition numbers allocated to, or reserved for, any Car. E 3.2 Application 3.2.1 Teams who do not have a competition number already allocated to a Car, must apply in writing to AVESCO for a competition number to be issued. 3.2.2 The application may include the preferred competition number, and may also list up to

five alternative numbers nominated by the applicant Team in case their preferred number is unavailable. 3.2.3 In the event of none of the numbers nominated being available, AVESCO will so advise the applicant and allocate a new number to the Team. E 3.3 Conflict 3.3.1 Subject to Rule E 3.3.3 below, where two or more Teams make application for the same unallocated number, on the same date, AVESCO will generally allocate the competition number to the more senior of the contending Teams.

3.3.2 For Rule E 3.3.1, the “more senior of the contending Teams” will be determined firstly by reference to the TEGA Teams’ Licence Agreement Level of the contending Teams, and then by the date order in which the contending Teams lodged their application with AVESCO. 3.3.3 AVESCO may vary the application of Rule E 3.3.1 only if, in its sole discretion, it is in the best interests of the Category so to do. E 3.4 Reservation 3.4.1 Competition number “1” is always reserved for the current VSC driver’s champion who

has sole rights to that number for the duration of the Season which follows that in which the VSC was won. 3.4.2 In the event that the current VSC driver’s champion elects not to take competition number “1”, that number will not be allocated until a new VSC driver’s champion elects to take up that number. 3.4.3 Allocation of competition number “1” will automatically entail reservation of the VSC driver’s champion’s previous competition number for such period as that driver retains

the status of the VSC champion. 3.4.4 Teams may request AVESCO in writing that any other unallocated number be reserved for their use and, if that request is granted, such number will be so reserved until the expiration of the calendar year in which the application was made, after which time if the number is not taken up by the requesting Team, it will become available for reallocation. The absolute total of competition numbers held and reserved by any team will not exceed the number of Cars that team is entitled to run in V8 Supercar

competitions. A reservation fee of $500 will apply per number reserved by any team. The reservation fee will be refunded in the event that a team uses that number in competition in the year in which it is reserved. E 3.5 Change of Number 3.5.1 Teams may request AVESCO to change one or more of their current numbers for an unallocated number or numbers. © AVESCO Feb. 2003 - Division “E” Updated 20/10/03 Page E 8 3.5.2 If granted, the change of number will be immediate upon notification by AVESCO of

the successful change. 3.5.3 Once a change has been approved the Team will no longer have any rights to the competition number that has been replaced by the new number. 3.5.4 Subject to Rule E 3.5.6 below, Teams may change any competition number no more than once in a calendar year. 3.5.5 Any Teams that changes a number must compete using the new number at no less than one V8 Supercar competition in the calendar year in which the change was made. 3.5.6 AVESCO may vary the application of Rule E 3.5.4 only if, in its sole discretion, it is in

the best interests of the Category so to do. © AVESCO Feb. 2003 - Division “E” Updated 20/10/03 Page E 9 E 4 TRANSFER OF A CAR E 4.1 Definitions 4.1.1 A “transfer” means to part with the possession of a Car by way of sale or lease, or the loan of a Car for more than one calendar month, to another person or entity whether or not the transferee has executed a Teams’ Licence Agreement with TEGA. 4.1.2 A “transferee” means that person or entity to whom a Car is transferred. 4.1.3 A “transferor” means that person or entity who transfers a Car.
