2.3 Starting numbers
In principle, the start number that we issue during the registration/paper inspection is the leading one. Old or other start numbers on the vehicle must be removed/ taped off
When assigning start numbers, we first orientate ourselves according to the permanently assigned start numbers of the DMSB, then according to the permanently assigned start numbers of the other European ASNs. Only then do we allocate a start number.
3. Paddock – Special features
3.1 Location plan
3.2 Tent fastening – Drilling in the ground is strictly forbidden!
Drilling holes in the ground in the paddock is strictly prohibited! Failure to comply will result in disqualification from the competition and a penalty fee of 250.00 Euro per hole drilled.
3.3 Environmental regulations
Refueling, changing engine oils or lubricants and coolants on the racing vehicles is only permitted in the pits. A liquid-absorbing tarpaulin under the entire vehicle is mandatory.
The driver is responsible for disposing of fuel, engine oil, lubricants, and coolants. He must have appropriate containers ready and take them home or bring them to a specialized disposal company himself. Failure to comply will result in disqualification from the competition and a penalty fee of €500.00.
3.4 Night-time rest
The night’s rest begins at 10 pm and ends at 8 am. No vehicles may be started or moved in the paddock or camping area during this time.
If you want to party longer, you can go to the party tent next to the race track. Out of consideration for the riders and families, loud music and loud conversations in large groups should be avoided.
3.5 Driving in the paddock
The maximum speed in the paddock and pit area is 5 km/h.
Vehicles parked in the paddock without access authorisation will be towed away (the fee will be paid by the person collecting the vehicle).
For all service vehicles (including service scooters/motorcycles), the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) apply with the corresponding volume in accordance with the operating licence.
The use of motorised devices of any kind is prohibited for children!
Drivers may be removed from the race if their crew and/or children do not comply with the rules. Children up to the age of 12 may only be in the paddock under adult supervision. Roller skates, skateboards and similar items are prohibited in the paddock and will be confiscated by security until the end of the event.
3.6 Breakfast
This year, we are once again offering our visitors, drivers, and team members fresh rolls for breakfast. The bread order must be placed at the service point the day before to ensure that there are enough rolls available in the morning. You are also welcome to send us your order in advance by email to info@jade-race.com .
4. Technical inspection
4.1 Technical inspection
The inspection will take place in the designated technical inspection zone at the beginning of the line-up. It starts on:
- Friday, July 17, 2026, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
- Saturday, July 18, 2026, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Telephone number of the technical department during the events: +49 173 927 92 44
After technical scrutineering, the driver receives a sticker with his start number, which is affixed to the right-hand side of the vehicle. Without this sticker, the driver will not be authorised to start. The Dial In’s must also be written on the right-hand side.
4.2 Safety instructions
You must familiarise yourself with the safety regulations for your vehicle and protective clothing in advance of the event. If a defect is found during technical scrutineering, this can no longer be rectified on site and you will not be authorised to start. The entry fees/tickets will not be refunded, as this is your own fault!
4.3 Change of class
A class change can be made before the event and at the latest during technical inspection directly by the technical commissioners. A race secretary is available at the container at the entrance to the race track, who can make the class change directly in the computer system and reissue the entry documents.
5. LineUp
The LineUp has 6 lanes. You will find signs with the respective class name at the very beginning of the entrance to each lane. In addition, the LineUpCrew and the PitMarshalls will be at your side and will sort you according to the necessary order, e.g. during the eliminations.
6. Track
6.1 Starting number and Dial In
The starting number and the dial-in must be clearly visible on the right-hand side of the vehicle so that the timekeeper can read them.
Alternatively, the dial-in can also be shown on a white board/slip of paper by a crew member in the direction of the timekeeping. Alternatively, the class can also agree to name the dial-in to the pit marshal so that he can submit it to the timekeeping for the class.
6.2 Brake chute
The brake chute must be unlocked before the burnout!
Due to the strong crosswind, the rider decides for himself whether to activate the brake chute. With a total track length of 1459 metres, the rider has more than 1000 metres of run-out.
To deploy the brake chute, stop only on the return leg, not on the track or at the exit (in the exit area / Exit 3 orange area).
6.3 Burn Out
Burnouts are permitted for all classes with drag slicks beyond the starting line.
Burnouts beyond the starting line are prohibited for vehicles with street tires.
All motorcycle classes perform burnouts on the plate. Only rolling burnouts (with square/wide slicks) are permitted for motorcycles on asphalt. The visor on the motorcycle helmet must be closed before staging.
6.4 Safety instructions
All safety regulations must be strictly observed!
Excessive braking after the finish line is not necessary as there is sufficient run-out. In the direction of travel, the driver on the right should always enter the return lane first to avoid unwanted crossing. When turning into the return lane, the driver on the left must be sure that he is not endangering the driver on the right.
6.5 Exit
We have several exits from the race track for the return journey. Basically the following applies:
- 1/4 mile distance:
- The third (last) exit is always taken
- the right lane always turns first before the left lane turns
- 1/8 mile distance:
- The juniors always take the first exit in the 1/8 mile
- The other classes always take the third (last) exit at the 1/8 mile
- the right lane always turns first before the left lane turns
6.6 Returnlane
The return route leads along the race track back to the paddock. Helicopter flights will continue to take place on the left-hand side of the return route during the event. Therefore, the speed on the return is limited to 50 km/h. In this area, the brake pads must be secured in such a way that they do not enter the area where helicopters are taking off or landing.
