New unit of competency. |
Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to assemble and prepare a competition vehicle in a motor sport environment. It involves preparing for the task, preparing components, installing sub-assemblies and systems, setting vehicle baseline configuration according to team requirements, supplementary regulations and component supplier specifications, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the motor sport industry. A competition vehicle is any vehicle that competes in a motor sport event of a competitive nature under one of the following categories: race, speed, rally road, off road, auto test and timed.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
