Wildcard
A 'free pass' granted by the organising committee: it allows free entry or the start of a vehicle that does not otherwise match the supplementary regulations.
A wildcard is a 'free pass' granted by the organising committee. It either allows free entry – for example for sponsors or guests of honour – or serves as start permission for vehicles that do not actually match the supplementary regulations, for instance a youngtimer at a pure classic-car event. Granting it is at the organiser's discretion.
