The results are marked on an 80% pass rate and the drivers are given two chances to attempt to pass the test. If they do not pass then they must report to race control to have a drivers briefing on the areas they have failed on, the idea is not to penalise the driver but to make sure all drivers race to the correct safety standard. #Motorsport #SeanEdwards #Sefambassador #Driver #safety #safetyfirst #drivesafe #racesafe #Encouragesafety #champion #Safetyisparamount #livetorace #SRO #FIA⁣ #B24h #Spa24

Photographers take the test in the SRO sanctioned GT World Series Europe and recently it was introduced for the first time at the Bathurst 12H. "One of the biggest things introducing for the 2020 event was the SET for media. The aim is to increase knowledge of the safety rules for photographers in the pit lane and around the track..." #Motorsport #SeanEdwards #Sefambassador #Driver #safety #safetyfirst #drivesafe #racesafe #Encouragesafety #champion #Safetyisparamount #livetorace #SRO #FIA⁣ #B24h #Spa24

25th February 2020

The reason behind the SET: The Sean Edwards Test was first used at the TOTAL 24H of Spa in 2019, aimed at photographers taking part in the event. The aim is to remind those of pit lane and race protocol and the potential high risks involved in a crowded pit lane environment and to re-educate those who may not attend races on a regular basis. #Motorsport #SeanEdwards #Sefambassador #Driver #safety #safetyfirst #drivesafe #racesafe #Encouragesafety #champion #Safetyisparamount #livetorace #SRO #FIA⁣ #B24h #spa24h
