Race circuits are all about pushing the limit and experiencing the thrill of racing in a safe environment. Our debris fences are extensively tested, and became the first homologated system in accordance with the FIA Standard 3502-2018 debris fence, providing the best spectator protection in the market.

In 2021, we pushed the boundaries with our debris fence featuring a 6m post spacing. Superior spectator vision, less chance of hitting a post in combination with a reduction of the environmental impact as fewer foundations are required and a larger quantity per container can be shipped to the circuit. 

What is a debris fence?

The debris fence is a permanent protection installed along a race circuit to protect spectators, workers and race officials from debris resulting from a crash on the circuit.

Permant protection at the races

Where is it required?

A debris fence is installed in the second line of protection behind the guardrail. If the system is installed within 1.5 m between guardrails, an 80cm opening will enable drivers and marshals to exit quickly and easily.

Why is it essential?

Debris Fences keep spectators, workers and race officials safe at the circuit. Depending on the circuit's license, a tested and FIA Homologated system (FIA Technical List °72) is required to be installed (Appendix O)
