Vehicle Identification - Competitors will be identified by competition numbers which will not be supplied by the organisers. Please note DIGITAL TYPE NUMBERS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED. All identification must be carried throughout the event, and must be removed or covered on finishing the event or retiring. Maximum Vehicles - You will be restricted to the following vehicles: 1Transit Size Service Vehicle, 1 Trailer, 1 Competing Car. There is room in the external Car Park for any additional cars. Race Day - The event will take place at Millbrook Proving Ground and will contain 10 Stages with approximately 60 stage miles, all on sealed surface. The first car will start the first stage at 08:30 (may change depending on Number of Entries) and the remainder will follow at 30 second intervals; all Stages will start at 30 second intervals. If during the day it becomes apparent that a competitor’s performance is greater or less than that which he is seeded, the Clerk of the Course or the Deputy Clerk of the Course may re-seed that competitor on safety grounds. Controls and Timing - All controls will open at the due time for Car 0 and close 5 minutes after the due time of the last car. Crews must present themselves with their cars at all controls and it is their responsibility to ensure that all entries on their time cards are correctly recorded and handed in when and where required. Main Time Controls (MTC)- Competitors will start all Stages at 30 second intervals. Each Special Stage will be preceded by an MTC, designated an MTC (Out). Two cars will be due at each MTC (Out) per minute. Any crew more than 5 minutes late at a MTC will be excluded, if lateness over Stage Maximum Time plus lateness at the preceding MTC exceeds 5 minutes 59 seconds a crew will be excluded. Regroup Control (RC)- At the SSF Control at the end of a stage, competitors will return to the service area as stated in the Roadbook for the next Service Halt via a Regroup Control (which will be designated a MTC (In)). The official will collect the Time Card for the Stage just completed and record on the next Time Card your due time at the MTC (Out) for the next stage. A fresh lateness allowance of 5 minutes will apply from each MTC (Out). Maximum Cumulative Lateness reduced to 5 Minutes. Competitors will be required to make up any lateness at Service Halts. Penalty Markers - In order to restrict average speeds for the Special Stages, various man-made barriers forming chicanes etc. may be set up which will be detailed in the Roadbook. These barriers will be deemed to be made up of Penalty Markers. A Penalty of 10 seconds will be applied to any car hitting a group of Penalty Markers. Competitors who drive through a group of Penalty Markers without making a reasonable attempt to follow the correct route will be penalised with the Stage Maximum Time. 30 Second Starts, Split Junctions - Since competitors will start all Special Stages at 30 second intervals and each Stage may consist of more than one lap, there will be several cars circulating at one time. There will be a split junction and a merge on each Stage. Countdown markers will be positioned at 200 and 100 yards before these. Competitors should ensure they know which route to take each lap. A Marshal will be placed on each of these junctions; any crew who overshoots and reverses will be EXCLUDED. Servicing - The Service Area will be on the Steering Bowl at Millbrook Proving Ground. Servicing will only be permitted in the Central Service Area. All other parts of the Proving Ground will be out-of-bounds to service vehicles except the access road to and from the service area. Out of Bounds Areas - Any persons associated with an entry found anywhere in Millbrook Proving Ground other than in the Area known as the Service Area will immediately be removed from Millbrook Proving Ground.
