Maple Garage Beaver Rally 2014 Regulations |
Beverley & District Motor Club Ltd is once again running the Maple Garage Beaver Rally. It will be a round of the ANCC, EMAMC, ANEMMC & SD34 Road Rally Championships.
The organising team are again planning an event on OS Maps 100, 101,106, covering approximately 130 miles and starting from Broach Hill Garage, Hutton Cranswick, nr Driffield in East Yorkshire.
There will be approximately 12 miles of white roads, which will be of mixed surfaces, but not entirely smooth tracks. As usual, these have all been traversed in a standard car, but would still strongly recommend sump guards as some parts of these whites may be less than smooth. Any particularly rough part will be preceded by a caution warning and/or Route Check board to slow you down.
As is becoming increasingly necessary on Road Rallies, the Organisers will take care to ensure that competitors are not required to drive at excessive speeds on the public highway.
Route Checks will also be used for safety, at SGWs as we have done previously, as well as at some particular points of danger. (i.e. uneven road surface, bad bend, long straight)
That is our intention; hopefully we will come close to achieving this.
Beverley & District Motor Club Ltd. would like to thank the following:
Maple Garage, Sproatley and Mappleton, for continuing to sponsor the event.
Broach Hill Garage, Hutton Cranswick for the Start venue.
MSA for authorising the event;
Humberside Police and North Yorkshire Police
The Wolds Village Restauraunt/Hotel, Bainton (for the finish venue and breakfast)
The NHS Practice at Eastburn for trailer parking
Residents, Landowners and farmers on route for their co-operation and patience;
The Marshals for braving the elements;
You for taking the time to read these regulations and enter the event.
The Beverley & District Motor Club web-site at www.bdmc.org.uk is the primary source for information about this event. It holds definitive versions of all official documentation issued before the event, as well as results and the route after the event.
The website is also the most popular way to enter the event, and as before allows you to pay the entry fee online using a Credit or Debit card.
There will also be an un-seeded entry list published as entries are received, and a seeded list once the entries have been seeded.
Results will also be posted on the web site at points during the event, and at the end, within a few minutes of the time cards being collected. This will allow family and friends to be able to see how you're doing during the night.
Beverley & District Motor Club Ltd. will promote a National B Navigational Rally, the Maple Garage Beaver Rally, on 19th/20th July 2014.
The event will be held under the general regulations of the MSA (incorporating the provisions of the International Sporting code of the FISA), these supplementary regulations and any written instructions the promoting club may issue for the event.
MSA Permit number 79826 been issued. Authorisation of a Motoring Event on the Public Highway will be posted on the official notice board. This official notice board will be on display at the start, the rest halt and the finish venue.
The event is open to fully elected members of the promoting club and to all members and championship contenders of the Association of Northern Car Clubs (ANCC), the Association of North East Midland Motor Clubs (ANEMMC) and the East Midland Association of Motor Clubs (EMAMC).

| R.16.1.7 | Cars must comply with all of R.18, as they would if the event were running under a Road Rally permit. |
Final Instructions will be posted on the website in the week before the event and have the same effect as these regulations. They will also be posted to crews who request paper documentation.
Cars will be scrutinised in accordance with the appropriate MSA Technical Regulations. The scrutineering sheet will be given out at the Sound Check.
All marshals and officials of the event will be appointed Judges of Fact for observing Give Way junctions, unauthorised servicing, false starts, use of auxiliary lights in neutral and transport sections and excessive sound, as described in R.8
Controls will open 20 minutes before the first car. Maximum lateness will be 30 minutes.
Controls & checks will be designated one of the following:
| MTC | Main Time Controls located at the start and finish, and during the event, that competitors MUST visit, timed to the previous whole minute. The controls at the end and during the event end neutral sections unless otherwise informed. |
| STC | Control at the end of a standard section, timed to the previous whole minute. |
| TTC | Control at the end of a transport section where you may make up time subject to the ¾ rule. |
| NTC | Control at the end of a neutral section, timed to the previous whole minute. |
| IRTC | Control in the middle of a regularity section timed to the previous whole second. |
| RTC | Control at the end of a regularity section, timed to the previous whole minute. |
| PC | Passage Control untimed used as a manned route check or where a clock fails. |
| RC | Route Check, evidenced by writing down a seven digit code on time cards and signed by the marshal at the next manned time control. |
If an official clock fails and cannot be replaced, then the control will assume the status of a PC.
If a control is known to be unmanned, proceed to the next manned control by the route instructions. Unmanned controls will be advised at the briefing or at MTC1.
To be classified as a finisher, competitors must visit two thirds of all manned controls and visit all main time controls (MTC's) within their maximum permitted lateness. (R.15.1). Any lateness must be made up at the rest halts. Competitors will restart from the MTC after the rest halt at the scheduled time as shown on the time card plus their start number.
The Club will apply to Jelf Insurance Partnership for a Blanket Cover Note under the above scheme. This will provide those competitors who need to use the scheme with third party cover to meet RTA requirements on the Road Sections of the Event. The basic rate before any loadings is currently £12.50 per car.
All applicants wishing to use the scheme must be able to complay with all points of the Jelf Insurance Partnership Declaration:-
Anyone aged less than 20 years old will also be accepted at the same price should their co-driver be a more senior member of their family or over 25.

The organisers reserve the right to cancel part or the entire event if necessary.
The route will be approximately 130 miles, of which about 12 miles are on unmetalled roads. Fuel will be available at the start venue and at one point along the route, with a maximum distance between fuel stops being approximately 70 miles.
The route will be the shortest route on any road marked on the map between controls avoiding out of bounds areas and complying with the road book. All official distances are deemed correct and no protest will be allowed.
It is not a marshal's duty to interpret or explain any regulation, if in doubt ask an official preferably before the start.
A brief explanation of the type of sections being used on the event is shown below: -
You are penalised for losing time on these sections. If you take a time earlier than allowed, you will also be penalised. You are not penalised for arriving early if you can make up time subject to strict guidelines (see 5 below). If you cut route and rejoin at a standard control you CAN rejoin at your scheduled time. Note: Some Standard Sections may be clearly noted in the Route Instructions as 'Relaxed' Sections. These should be traversed steadily and you will have plenty of time to complete these sections without losing time.
Neutral sections are non-competitive; you cannot make up time on these sections no matter how late you are. You must grin and bear it - the penalties are severe at one fail. If you rejoin at a neutral control, you MUST take a time equivalent to the same number of minutes late at the last control you recorded a time.
These sections are used to take you from one part of the route to another. You are not penalised for arriving late other than for maximum lateness. You may make up time subject to section 5.
These sections require you to stop at intermediate control [IRTC] where you will be timed to the previous second as you enter the control. The control at the end of the section RTC is timed to the previous whole minute. Time CANNOT be made up in these sections.
Make the most of any designated time make-up sections or any standard sections that are easily cleanable. If such a section is 4 miles or less you can take any time allowed for the section. If it is more than 4 miles then you can only make up a quarter of the total time allowed, e.g. if it is 6 miles long and the time allowed is 12 minutes then you can take 9 minutes for the section without penalty. The above only applies if you are running late in the first place. You will be penalised if you make up time and book in before your scheduled time. The make up time allowed is shown on your timecards.
Always watch OTL. If you are more than 30 minutes late at any time control then you pick up a maximum penalty of 1 Fail. So if you do reach OTL then don't keep plodding on - instead miss out a section and get yourself back within 30 minutes lateness. See 1 & 2 above as where you should rejoin. You can work out your OTL time at any control by adding your start number plus 31 to the car 0 due time.
Refer to the website for full route instructions from previous Beaver Rallies for examples of the sort of navigation which we use.
