INFO FOR TEAMS
PIT AREA RULESTEAMS
Every driver must be part of a team. At a minimum the team consists of a driver and a team leader. Register your team using the registration button on the right side, so we can add you to the RaceWKND website, WhatsApp group and email distribution.
The driver must be a member of a boat club (in Finland a boat club under the SPV). Membership in the boat club is also recommended for the team leader and other team members. There are many options and benefits when belonging to a boat club , which is why a membership is in everyone’s interest.
In order to ensure safety, consistency, functionality and communication, each team must have the following elements in addition to the UIM rules and national regulations: team clothes, tent and contact person.
NIMI JA TIIMIVAATTΞΞT
Each team needs a name and uniform team clothing. Uniform coloured t-shirts with a logo or team name are sufficient. The name of each team will appear on this website.
Team and driver pictures for this website will be taken during the first race of the season.

Every team must have their own tent with a minimum size of 3x3m.
To increase the safety in the pit every tent must be equipped with a fire alarm under the ceiling. In addition every tent must have a fire extinguisher in the front left corner (min. 2kg). In the event of fire the positions of the fire extinguishers are well known and the initial fire-fighting can be launched as quickly as possible.
