1.Introduction

2021 is the year in which history will be made, thanks to the very first 24 Hours of Arvidsjaur!

This event is for everyone who has a passion for driving and who would like to develop their driving skills further. The
special ingredients for this experience can only be found at the Arctic Circle. The comfort of standardised road vehicles
combined with the safety of snow walls and driving fun on perfectly groomed ice results in this unique and ideal mix.

The event stays true to the motto of "FIRE and ICE”, and the balance between tactical skill, perseverance and
consistency is key in deciding the winning team.

Our goal is to make the inimitable spirit of the Arctic Circle accessible to a very wide audience.
We plan on making it an adventure that every driving enthusiast should have on their bucket list, irrespective of whether
they are hobby, amateur or professional drivers. Team spirit pays off!

Everyone with a valid car driver’s license who is confident of driving on ice and snow, and has the necessary skills to
keep the car on track, is welcome to participate in our event.

Driver and Team Gear

Helmet, racing suit and/or fireproof clothing are allowed. A helmet is mandatory for vehicles with a roll bar.
During this time of year, outside temperatures can drop to -30°C. Appropriate winter clothing and footwear for snow and
ice is recommended.

         Technical Failures

If a vehicle breaks down with a technical defect, the recovery vehicle will bring it to its team box with the yellow rescue
lights switched on.

The driver and front passenger of the broken-down vehicle always remain seated in the vehicle until the vehicle is back
in the pit lane.
(see also-> competition vehicles and recorvery)
!Attention!
**The cooler must always be kept free! Engine oil temperatures above 127°C can damage the engine. The 24h
management Team reserves the right to request the teams (via radio) to clear the cooler of snow. This situation is
considered a technical defect and will be communicated by radio so that it can be rectified directly in the pit lane.
**With every driver/vehicle change, always check the radiator and clean it if necessary.

           Recovery

If a vehicle gets stuck on the route or simply cannot go any further, it has to switch on its hazard lights immediately. This
marks the danger point for the vehicle and its occupants as well as for the other participants. Absolute caution is required
on behalf of everyone and a mandatory speed limit of 10 km/h (100m before to 50m after) is imposed.
!Attention!

assistance.

**Cooler cleaning, vehicle appraisal, repairs take place exclusively in the pit lane / own pits.
**Rescues: While a rescue is being carried out the remaining participants on track are meant to show respect and only
proceed at walking pace (max 10 km/h). If the situation requires a complete stop, drivers are expected to do so!
**If the clearing/recovery vehicle is on track, the remaining cars can overtake it using the Joker Laps. In this case, the
rescue vehicle is considered the same as a competition vehicle, and the joker is deducted from the joker quota.
**Penalties will be imposed for violations!

time for every driver change, refuelling or service stop. At the 4h and 24h of Arvidsjaur, only one of the two team
vehicles and not both will be on the track at the same time. If a team only has one ready-to-drive vehicle before or during
the event, this team is still allowed to participate in all the following sessions, but the team must be aware of the
disadvantages brought on by this particular circumstance.
!Attention!
**Endurance work of a single vehicle over 24 hours can lead to major damage to the engine and transmission. (See also
deductible of the vehicle rental company)

between all the lap times driven in the team is determined. The laps relevant for the evaluation must not fall below a
minimum average speed of at least 40 km / h or over a maximum of 60 km / h.
**The permitted average speed window per lap will be determined no later than the Friday after the FT1 final.
** Homogeneous driver qualities of a team can be an advantage!
**The total distance driven by each Team will also be calculated additionally.

allowed to leave when the first vehicle is safely parked in the pitlane.
!Attention!
**The driving time of each driver in the team is not defined or limited.
**In all free practice sessions (FP1-4), both team vehicles may be used at the same time in order to increase the team-
internal driving/training time, especially for teams with more than 6 x drivers.

        Track

The minimum route length is based on the teams actually registered and is extrapolated with at least 300m per vehicle
and is halved accordingly in the free practice sessions.
(Example: 15 vehicles = at least 4500m route length or free training = 30 vehicles = at least 150m per vehicle)

Joker/Shortcuts/Exceptions to the overtaking rules - BOP

The number of jokers/abbreviations that are distributed over the entire length of the route is based on the number of
actual registrations.

• up to 7.5km or 25 registered teams = min 3 x joker opportunities per lap
• up to 10.5km or 35 registered teams = min 4 x joker opportunities per lap

Example:
During the >24h von Arvidsjaur< a team may use a maximum of 120 x Jokers in total.
With a distance of 4.5 km, that means: 60 x Joker 1. und 60 x Joker 2.
