Cracked Windscreen

[Glyn84]

The forum search is broken again so I apologise if this has been covered before (I would guess it has).

When I was sat in the assembly area before qualifying at the weekend I noticed a crack in my windscreen. It originated from a chip in the centre of the screen at the bottom and spread upwards. I hadn't noticed it when cleaning the car so I suspect it cracked in transit or something, but it didn't get any bigger throughout qualifying or the races. It's about 10cm tall and a hairline crack you can only feel on the outside.

Does anyone know how this will sit with scrutineering or what the requirements are for such a thing?

Mine has a load of star-chips on and I've never been picked up on it - a friend has a screen-length crack on his car and again nothing has been said, so I would assume from that you'll be fine. Obviously it might be worth getting one if you see one going cheap

Think I'll be OK then Might get one of those crack fixing kits and see if it stops it spreading. Thankfully the windscreens aren't expensive but it's £150 bill I'd rather avoid for the next 2 meetings if possible.

Yep, I've been putting it off the whole season so far
