Article 1: Acceptance
The entry forms must be sent completed, with all necessary documents, to the
Organisers who will accept Teams based on the quality of the proposed entry
packet. All decisions by the Organisers regarding the acceptance of Teams are
final.
By fact of their entry, participants accept all the provisions of the present Official
Rules and agree to abide by all decisions made by the Shell Eco-marathon
Organisers. The Organisers reserve the right to modify, delete or add any
article of the present Official Rules. In such an event, the Teams will be notified.
The Organisers are solely empowered to pronounce on cases not provided for
in the present Official Rules.
The Organisers reserve the right to modify, delay or even cancel the
competition in the event of unforeseen circumstances, notably rain, high winds
or excessive heat. No claims for compensation will be accepted.
By entering the Shell Eco-marathon, all participants recognise the right of
the Organisers, Shell, and more generally the companies of the Shell
Group to use their images for publicity or other promotional material.
Article 2: Entries
For each entry, a Team Manager, a Driver and a Reserve Driver must be
designated.
The Team Manager can only be responsible for one vehicle. He/she may also
be a Driver for that vehicle, but only for that vehicle.
The Team Manager is the Team's sole official liaison with the Organisers. All
information will be addressed to him/her. For the purposes of the project,
he/she will be responsible for the Team, must speak on behalf of the Team and
must be able to understand and speak English.
The eligibility criteria for Drivers are detailed in the relevant section of Chapter
II. The Driver for one vehicle cannot be the Driver or Reserve Driver for another
vehicle.
A Reserve Driver may be assigned to two vehicles. However, once he/she has
driven one of those vehicles (during practice or in competition), he/she may no
longer drive the other vehicle.
Each interested Team must apply to compete in the regional Shell Eco-
marathon event closest to their home country. The attendance at another Shell
Eco-marathon event outside its home region is subject to decision of the
relevant regional organising committee.
Article 3: Track Access Conditions
During both the practice runs and the competition, all vehicles must comply with
the technical and safety rules of the event. Whenever the track is entered, the
vehicle body must be in place and bear all the competition numbers, partner
streamers and Shell logos required by the Official Rules. Organisers will supply
these numbers and logos upon entry confirmation.
