What must you do if you break down and cannot get your car going again?

Staying in the car until directed by the marshals is crucial for ensuring both your safety and the safety of others on the track. When a vehicle breaks down during a race or event, the first response should be to remain inside the car, as leaving it can create hazards for other drivers and marshals on the track. Marshals are trained personnel responsible for handling such situations, and they will provide guidance on how to safely exit the vehicle if necessary.

Remaining in the car allows the marshals to assess the situation properly and make informed decisions on how to manage the breakdown without putting anyone at risk. Additionally, staying put minimizes your exposure to potential dangers like incoming vehicles, while giving the marshals clear visibility of any immediate hazards. It’s essential to comply with their directions for the best possible outcome during these challenging circumstances.
