Technical inspection / Scrutineering
The car technical inspection or scrutineering might slightly vary depending on the organizing club/sanctioning body. Here are a few videos explaining the scrutineering procedure for rallysprints/gravel trials (requires logbooked cars) and for rallycross (regular street cars).

Getting a logbook for your race car
Getting a logbook for your race car
First of all, find which sanctioning body you plan on competing with and read their rulebook carefully. Once you have decided which sanctioning body you want to go with, contact their chief scrutineer who will put you in touch with your local scrutineer. The local scrutineer will usually ask you for pictures of your build to make sure the main components are in place. When you are ready for the logbook to be issued, you'll have to get your car inspected by the scrutineer who will check the cage tubing, footings, welds, gussets and anchoring points for the seats and belts. If everything checks out, you will get a fresh logbook for your car.
The service is typically free but if you have the scrutineer come to you, you'll usually have to pay for the travel and time.

Inspection for a logbook
The scrutineer will inspect the rollcage and other structural points for issuing a logbook. We have a new app at https://rollcage.frogracing.us/ that replaces our old document that described all the inspections performed on a new FIA article 253 compliant rollcage build.
The app can be used to review and document all the safety aspect of the rollcages and issue paperwork for logbooks in paper or digital form. If you are a technical director or a scrutineer and are interested in digital logbooks for your sanctioning body, you can contact us at info@frogracing.us to see how we can help.
