• The organisation expects 7 or 8 vehicles. The final number depends on confirmations, inspection and approval of the participants.
• About 1 hour in total: 12 minutes of entry and inspection, 40 minutes of actual destruction and 8 minutes to clear the arena.
• Everything happens inside the arena, with entry, positioning, a safety check and briefing before the start.

• There is no limit on size or category.
• Small, medium and large cars, vans, pickups, trucks and other special vehicles can take part.
• Every vehicle must be approved by the organisation beforehand.

No vehicle enters the arena with sharp parts, dangerous structures or modifications that increase the risk of injury.

The main goal is to see which vehicle keeps running and holds out until the end of the show.

• If only one vehicle is still running at the end, it may be declared the winner.
• If more than one is still running, or if none breaks down completely, the winner is chosen by the crowd — by applause, public reaction or another method set by the organisation and the announcer.

The crowd decides on:

• The biggest spectacle and presence in the arena.
• The best impacts and destruction manoeuvres.
• The greatest ability to fire up and involve the crowd.
• Courage, skill and control shown by the driver.

• Vehicles enter only after clearance from race control and the safety team.
• The show starts once every participant is in position and the arena is confirmed clear.
• Drivers obey flags, marshal signals, the official announcer and arena control immediately.
• A vehicle can be pulled from the show when it is immobilised, poses a risk or needs assistance.

• Fully comply with the technical and safety rulebook handed out beforehand by the organisation.
• Wear all required protective equipment throughout the show.
• Vehicles are inspected before entering the arena.
• Any deliberate action against marshals, staff, the rescue team, event structures or the public area is forbidden.

The safety of drivers, crowd and staff takes priority over continuing the show.

Control may stop the show at any moment, mainly in these situations:

• A rollover, or a vehicle in a dangerous position.
• Fire, the start of a fire, or a fuel leak.
• A driver feeling unwell or asking for assistance.
• The rescue team, a crane or mechanical support entering the arena.
• Any risk identified by the organisation.

The show resumes only after official clearance from the safety team and arena control.

All decisions by arena control, marshals, the safety team and the Iron Crash organisation are final. The organisation may change the number of vehicles, bar vehicles that break the rules, stop or end the show, disqualify participants for dangerous behaviour and adapt the format for safety or operational reasons.
