Reserve riders on registering for the Championship will be allocated a First Reserve, Second Reserve etc., up to five places. They will be eligible for any sponsor/RHL related loyalty packages, as per Registered Riders, however they are not guaranteed a ride.

The decision to admit one or more Reserve Riders to a race will be made when the first rider enters the Start Gate Area and the Waiting Zone is closed. At that time if a space is available the Reserve Rider may race, if not the Reserve Rider must leave the Waiting Zone immediately. A Reserve rider will accumulate points for any race meeting they are able to participate in, within the Championship. A Reserve Rider who was not allowed to start in the first race can do so in the Second or Third block of racing if a space becomes available, providing the Rider presents themselves in the Waiting Zone at the stipulated time. A Reserve Rider who took part in any of the first block of racing is not guaranteed a space in the second or third, if all the Registered Riders are in the Waiting Zone. All Reserve Riders who turn up at a Race meeting, without a Guaranteed Space will participate in the Free Practice session and Time Practice Session, along with the Registered Riders and the guaranteed Reserve Spaces already allocated prior to the Race meeting. If no space is available at the time of notification a Reserve Rider entry can either opt to have their money back straight away, or wait to see if a space becomes available nearer the date/over the course of the weekend.

A rider who has not been admitted in the initial start cannot be introduced after a false start. In the case that the restart will take place immediately riders may only exchange their machine in the Waiting Zone. In the case that the re-start will not take place immediately, riders will return to the waiting zone to be instructed if they can return to the paddock and if so a change of machine will be allowed. The final choice must be made before the riders are called to the start line, when the Waiting Zone will close.
STOPPING A RACE The Clerk of the Course has the right, on his own initiative, for urgent safety reasons, or other cases of force majeure, to stop a race prematurely or stop a part or the whole of a meeting. The Clerk of the Course may disqualify one or more riders, deemed to be at fault for the race being stopped, from taking part in the restart. If a race is stopped after the leader has completed 50% of the race distance, rounded down to the nearest number of laps (which is a minimum of 3 laps to declare a result), it will be considered to have finished. The order of classification shall be based upon the order of the last crossing the finish line prior to the showing of the red flag and only Competitor’s who are racing at the showing of the red flag and have completed 50% of the number of laps completed by the race leader will be classified. If a race is stopped after the leader(s) has taken the chequered flag they will be classified as having finished the race. The order of classification for those riders who have not taken the chequered flag shall be based upon the order of the last crossing the finish line prior to the showing of the red flag, and only competitors who are racing at the showing of the red flag and have completed 50% of the overall race distance will be classified.

ACU BRITISH YOUTH & UNDER 21 CHAMPIONSHIP ELECTRONIC TIMEKEEPING TIMING Electronic Timekeeping will be used throughout the duration of the Race. It is the Riders Responsibility to ensure their Transponder is securely affixed to their Machine and fully charged for Racing. The Transponder will be checked on entering the Waiting Zone, however this is to ensure the Transponder is on, it will not indicate if it is fully charged. A Timing Loop will be placed at the finish area.
TIMING SCREEN There will be two Timing Screens, one of which will be situated in the Work Area. Timing information is relayed through Wi Fi. Weather conditions and Broadband reception will dictate the reliability of the consistency of displaying the live timing.
Please note interference or in some cases outages may occur with the live timing and timing screens at events due to disruptions in the channel for the signals travelling from the source to the receiver. These can be caused by radio frequency (RFI) and/or electrical interference (For example power lines, electrical equipment, phone masks) in the area.
LIVE TIMING Please note due to the radio wave signals being transmitted from the timing system (Uplink) to satellites (Downlink) there maybe a delay of up to a minute for live timing to refresh on Speedhive. Other factors to take into account in regards to slow internet speeds which may in return cause a delay in the live timing can be:
Personal Device Data Speed Built up areas with multiple people using 3G, 4G or 5G network connections Areas with no/low network connections for mobile devices
The above factors may result in a variance to race positions being shown on Speedhive, as opposed to those on the Timing Screens and published results at a given time. Live Timing is available through the following:

START The start will be live engine, clutch type. (The engines will be running and the bike has to have a clutch) Once a rider has taken his position at the start gate, he cannot change it. A rider is deemed to be under starters orders having been called to the start line, the starter will hold up a green flag from which moment the riders are under his control, until all riders are on the start line. When all the riders are on the start line, the starter will hold up a 15 second board for a full 15 seconds. At the end of the 15 seconds, he will hold up a 5 second board and the gate will drop between 5 and 10 seconds after the 5 second board is shown. Riders who have mechanical problems in the waiting zone and do not succeed in repairing their motorcycle before the 15 second board is shown, must remain in the waiting zone until the gate has dropped. Once the gate has dropped they can enter the starting area and resume the race. The penalty for violation of this regulation is disqualification from the race in question. Riders having mechanical problems at the starting gate must wait for assistance until after the gate has dropped. Once the gate has dropped, their mechanic(s) may assist at the gate. The penalty for violation of this regulation is disqualification from the race in question. Mechanics can only access the start area from the waiting zone and cannot enter any other prohibited areas to carry out the task. No one except riders and Officials shall be permitted to the area of the starting gate.
