Motorsport UK has updated their rules on fire extinguishers and has asked that regulations for all future events include these changes. The changes can be found below.
Approved & Ratified by Board – 22 Jan 2022
Section T – Trials
T10.2 All vehicles must comply with Construction and Use Regulations and be fitted with safety belts if appropriate. Where fitted, seat belts must be worn on the public highway. Fire extinguishers to a level of safety specified in K.3.2 are mandatory and which are accessible to the crew (note a 1.75ltr minimum for AFFF or 2x1ltr AFFF or 2x1Kg Powder is permitted).
T11.7.3 Fire extinguishers to safety criteria K.3.2 (note a 1.75ltr minimum for AFFF or 2x1ltr AFFF or 2x1Kg Powder is permitted).
Date of Implementation: Immediate
Reason: To accommodate fire extinguishers in the restricted cockpits common to many trials cars, either through the 2021 capacity requirements for a single AFFF extinguisher or to permit the minimum capacity to be achieved by two physically smaller extinguishers.
