Technical inspections will take place before each race and will be done only by PN Racing officials. Any car that is not legal will not be eligible for its race until it is fully legal within the rules of its class. If PN Racing officials miss an illegal item on your car that does not mean it is now legal for you to use it for the rest of the event - the item is still illegal and you will be subject to any consequences of running and illegal car.

After each race
Cars and radios from each race must be put on the post-race tech table for any post-race inspection that is required. Drivers that did not finish their race are still subject to this rule. Inspection of cars will start only after the start of the preceding race (for example, inspection for race 2 will start after race 1 has started and is underway). Cars on the post-race tech table will not be released until the end of the following race (for example, cars that ran in race 2 will be released when race 3 is completed). Final approval to approve the legality of any car is not valid until after the post-race inspection, if required.
