The aforementioned variations/substitutions may not be contested and, should a variation be applied, there will be no refund of the registration fee paid.

Article 12 - Check-in

Participants must arrive at the circuits one hour before the time chosen during entry. Competitors must compulsorily bring with them, in addition to the pass received by e-mail during registration or downloaded from their profile, their driving license (see Art. 3) for verification at the check-in desk and the present signed regulations. The cost of travel to the circuits shall be borne by the competitors. Competitors who do not show up on time, or who do not show up on the chosen day, will be able to move their reservation to another date and possibly circuit, again subject to availability, otherwise they will lose the fee paid at the time of registration.

Article 13 - Running of GT Talent selections

The competitor shall present himself/herself one hour before the time slot chosen for the selections for check-in operations; within the defined time slot each competitor will perform three skill tests. The procedures for carrying out the tests will be communicated directly on the spot by the GT Talent staff, who will divide the competitors into groups; the three tests may be performed in a different order than those indicated below.

SIMULATOR TEST
This test will highlight the competitors' ability to adapt and their driving level and the correct approach to the pre-pit exit and pit exit phases, driving position, reconnaissance on the exit-warm-up lap with a check of the various points on the circuit, the braking signs, as well as the indicators displayed on the screen, getting to grips with the pedals and the force to be applied on the brake, and then carrying out the qualifying laps, from which the best of the 2 laps will be assigned and selected. Another aspect will be how you behave in terms of SAFETY (to go fast you need to know how to drive safely). The simulator test is decisive and allows analysis and evaluation as a first approach to initial preparation procedures, track laps, braking points, respect for the car and respect for safety.

SKID CAR TEST
This test will highlight the competitor's ability to control the car, the ability to counter-steer correctly, to accelerate smoothly and progressively, to make the right use of the eye, and thus to be able to handle a totally new situation with the right calmness and coolness. The competitor will be accompanied by an examining instructor. The skid is a tool that allows the car (front-wheel drive) to have a very low grip on the rear axle, so that the car skids even at low speed. The test will take place on a skill course in a dedicated area (not a track), timed and equal for all. The pins/cones, which in fact create the course, will always be at the same distance and in the same position so that there can be no disputes. In the event of a fall during a trial, the pin will be repositioned by the operator in the same place recreating the original course for the next competitor with the aim that the trial will be the same for all competitors.
The event will be timed immediately.

RACK TEST WITH TIMED SECTOR
The competitor will drive 2 laps of the track with an examining instructor next to him/her, who will check that the competitor's driving respects SAFETY above everything else (to go fast it is necessary to know how to drive safely). In the event of intentional or unintentional DANGEROUS behaviour by the competitor, the instructor will have the right and duty to stop the car by assigning the participant a time of 9':59".999 (maximum time). In this case the event will not be repeated and the competitor will be classified with no time and a penalty for dangerous driving. The curbs may only be used if they are the "motorbike" type (flat) and only in dry track conditions. In the case of other types of curbs they must NOT be used, due to penalty. Having said this, in these two laps of the track there will be a CRONOMETRATED SECTOR, which will include the classic phases of a bend: BRAKE - INSERTION - EXIT.

In the remaining part of the track a suitable speed rhythm will be maintained and indicated by the instructor, a rhythm that will allow communication between competitor/instructor, which is constructive from an educational point of view.

Pins/cones will be placed to indicate "indicatively" a correct braking point on entering a bend, so as to facilitate the correct trajectory, followed by 1 or more pins/cones to indicate the apex point.

The pins/cones, which are in fact useful reference points for the competitors, will always be at the same distance and in the same position so that there can be no disputes. In the event of a fall during a round, the pin will be repositioned by the operator in the same place, recreating the original reference point for the next competitor, with the aim that the round will be the same for all competitors. The return lap will have to be made at low speed to allow the brakes to cool down. Tyre pressure will be monitored to maintain optimum conditions for all competitors.

The cars used by the competitors will be communicated at the selection stage.

Article 14 - Clothing for skills tests

Practical and sports clothing is recommended with the use of rubber-soled shoes that are not too bulky in order to be agile with the car pedals; the use of advertising clothing or clothing bearing car, tyre, automobile/motorcycle brands and logos will not be permitted).

Article 15 - Selection criteria in skills tests

SIMULATOR
The test is based on 2 timed laps of the track to record the best lap time, in addition to the reconnaissance lap out of the pits. The competitor will start from the pits with the condition "tyres/blankets ON and optimum track tyre".

The competitor will have to manage the launch phase in the best way, set the braking points and start the timed laps phase taking the best advantage of the track conditions; it will be allowed to pass on the curbs, always respecting the correct trajectories with the obligation to always have 2 wheels inside the circuit, not to damage the car in such a way as to compromise stability and above all safety. The evaluation will take into account the best lap time. In the event of intentional or unintentional DANGEROUS behaviour by the competitor, the instructor or his/her delegate will have the right and duty to stop the test by invalidating it.

Should the competitor fail to run the event, the time allocated to him/her shall be 9':59".999.

SKID CAR
The event is based on timed laps of the course delimited by pins. The start/finish rectangle will be 5 metres by 8 metres and will consist of 6 pins within which one must stop.

The evaluation criteria for this event are two:

Time of the course: The best classified competitor will be the one who takes the shortest time to complete the course.
Penalties: Each pin knocked down will be assigned a penalty of 3 seconds to be added to the time recorded; if the competitor knocks down more than 3 pins, a flat penalty of 10 seconds will be assigned to be added to the time recorded on the course; if during the stopping phase in the finish rectangle the car knocks down pins, each pin knocked down will be assigned a penalty of 5 seconds to be added to the time recorded; also during the stopping phase if the car crosses the line marking the pins, a penalty of 5 seconds will be assigned to be added to the time recorded on the course.

Should the competitor fail to run the stage or behave in a willfully dangerous manner, the time assigned to him shall be 9':59".999.

TRACK TEST WITH TIMED SECTOR
The test is based on a timed sector between entry and exit of a bend, this sector will include the classic phases of a bend: BRAKE - INSERTION - EXIT

The sector of the track where the time will be taken will be marked as follows: entry with two pins, one on the right and one on the left with a white background sign with black writing "START". Exit with two pins, one on the right and one on the left with a white background sign with black writing "FINISH". Should the competitor fail to run the event or behave in a wilfully dangerous manner, the time allotted to him shall be 9':59".999.

The evaluation criteria for this event are three:

Time over the sector: The best classified competitor will be the one who takes the shortest time to complete the timed sector.

Penalties: Each pin knocked down in the sector will be assigned a penalty of 1 second to be added to the time recorded on the sector.

Driving behaviour: The driving behaviour of each competitor will be evaluated according to this criterion:

1. Dangerous / Does not listen;
2. Looking down;
3. Incorrect use of hands;
4. Abrupt driving;
5. Non-progressive throttle;
6. Inadequate braking.

WET TRACK CONDITIONS
In the event of changing weather conditions (dry/rain - rain/dry) during practice, the WET RACE method will be used, as in competitions, throughout the entire period in which the wet conditions exist. Should conditions return to dry, WET RACE will be terminated. In order to standardize the evaluation of the tests, throughout the duration of the WET RACE method the competitors on the track will be evaluated by applying a higher level of difficulty established by the average percentage given by the difference between the time obtained on the track in optimal conditions and the time taken on the wet track during the sector run by one of our professional instructors.
Electronic stability and traction control override selector located on the steering wheel: in track conditions in WET RACE mode, the "selector" will be positioned on "Wet" mode while in dry track conditions the "selector" will be positioned on "Sport" mode.

Article 16 - Score ranking

16.1 - Day ranking
Each of the 3 events held produces a ranking in order of the best time reported by the timing service. Based on the position obtained, the participant is awarded a score as per the attached scheme (16.3).

The "total time" ranking will be the sum of the best times of the 3 events run by each participant. According to the position obtained, the participant will be assigned a score as per the attached scheme (16.3).

16.2 - Final event ranking
The final ranking will be given by the sum of the three skill tests performed based on the scores obtained by the participants plus the bonus score on the total time. The Examiners' evaluations obtained in the selections can be consulted by participants within their reserved profile area on the official website gttalent.com. The rankings will instead be public and always visible within the aforementioned official website.

The participants who will be able to access the Semi-finals will be a minimum number of twelve who have obtained the highest score according to the day's ranking.
In case the number of actual semi-finalists is less than 12, all drivers ranked second in the day's classification of the selections will be reselected. The drivers with the highest score will be classified as semi-finalists. In the event of a tie, the best time in the SKID test will be taken into account. The number of participants required to reach the minimum quota of 12 semi-finalists will then be selected. Semi-finalists must confirm - within 24 hours of receiving the invitation e-mail - their attendance, with a warning that, failure to comply with this deadline will result in non-admission to the Semi-finals against a judgement that cannot be claimed by the excluded participant. Excluded participants may be replaced by other participants in the so-called reserves, on the basis of the order of evaluation drawn up by the Jury using the marks awarded by the examiners.
During Semifinals, the Organisers are allowed to make substitutions - based on their own unquestionable judgement and on evaluation - in the event that any of the admitted participants is unable to be present, has not confirmed their presence or doesn’t meet the requirements set out in Art. 3 the convocation of the substitutes to the Semifinals will be communicated on time by e-mail to those concerned.

Article 31 - Responsibility

The participant assumes full responsibility in every respect for the truthfulness of the information provided in the registration form and in any further request made by Scuderia Gentile and the persons in charge of running the driving courses. The supervision carried out by the instructors during the activities does not in any way constitute the assumption of responsibility by the instructors themselves and Scuderia Gentile for any mistakes that the driver participating in the course may cause, with the direct and indirect damage to property and / or persons resulting therefrom. The participant therefore issues the broadest declaration of assumption of responsibility releasing the organizers, the instructors, Scuderia Gentile and the host racetrack from any and all civil, criminal and administrative liability for facts deriving from his behaviour and from his actions or omissions except as described in point 31.1.

31.1 - Damage to cars

The participant acknowledges and recognizes that the actual driver at the time of the event is liable for all damage to vehicles. Damage to cars is considered to be both damage caused by the vehicle going off the track and damage resulting from collisions between vehicles. As far as damage to the vehicle is concerned, the organizer is therefore exonerated from any kind of damage as the actual user is solely responsible, with the exception of the following.

  1. Road cars and GT cars - Fiat 500, Ferrari 458 Italia: The driving of road cars and GT cars is characterised by the fact that one of our instructors gives the technical and safety information while driving as he/she is at the passenger's side. For this reason the customer, while only paying the course fee, is nevertheless indemnified against the cost of repairing the cars in the event of an accident caused by him/her, subject to the provisions of Article 31. It is understood that damage inside the pit lane and/or to stationary cars, caused by total and obvious negligence on the part of the participant and non-compliance with the safety rules given by the instructors before and during the driving of the cars, (by way of example only, e.g. the use of alcohol during the track day, or non-compliance with the braking start point), is the full responsibility of the person who causes it.

Article 32 - Specific Rules

By signing these Regulations, participants declare:

- that they are in a physical and mental condition suitable for their participation in this talent competition and that they are appropriately prepared and qualified for the actual GT Talent and its Selections, Semifinals and Finals (as described in these Rules and Regulations), which they declare they have read and viewed, knowingly approving each and every provision set forth herein without reservations and/or exceptions, thereby undertaking to fully comply with its contents;
