Please wear your number in a visible spot. Everyone wants to know who you are when you are crossing the finish line. Be sure to attach your chip to an area near the bottom of your chair so the chip will read when it crosses the mats.

McLaren volunteer personnel will be in the Finish area and they will be able to take your written protest. They will take this protest to race officials for evaluation and a decision.
