    2. In standard and regularity sections, you must stop before entering any road protectedby a give way sign or any junction designated in the route instructions. In neutral or transport sections, the RLO approval has been given for you to treat these junctions in accordance with the Highway Code.
  3. CONTROLS
    Please refer to the regulations for the types of controls used on the event.
    Competitors are reminded that the onus of ensuring that they receive the correct time rests with them (K16.5 and K17.5 refers). This means you should ensure that marshals write the time on your card VERY CLEARLY AND LEGIBLY. The results team interpretation might be different to yours!
  4. ROUTE CHECKS
    Route checks will be in the form of car registration plates with not more than 5 black numbers or 5 black letters or a combination of both upto a maximum of 7, which are to be written your time cards.

    You are reminded that the police may observe the event and may use speed guns. PLEASE TAKE NOTE. Last year we had no convictions and I would like to keep it that way for future years.
  7. PUBLIC RELATIONS
    During the course of our public relations work the following points have been raised numerous times:
    1. Damage to crops/hedges without notification: damage is caused to crops by cars leaving the road and travelling across what might seem to be ploughed fields. Any competitor found to be travelling across agricultural land by a marshal, judge of fact or an official and not notifying the organisers will be excluded from the event.
    2. Competitor attitude: for example not dipping headlights, not making room for other road users, making excessive noise, not reporting damage, etc.
