Regulation 6.5.8 |
| Question: |
|
During egress, can the driver remove his/her helmet before exiting the car? The rules state that the car must be in raycing configuration including all driver constraints such as vision system, steering wheel and helmet, but they do not state if these components can be moved by the driver during egress. Will you please clarify what (if any) components can’t be moved or removed by the driver during egress, most specifically the helmet.

| Official Response: |
|
The driver and/or passenger may not remove their helmet for egress.
