Obey the organizer’s instructions. If people are asked by the Route marshals to leave dangerous place on the SS route, they should follow these instructions. In case of indiscipline the special stage will be canceled!

 

Don’t stay near bumps, crests or jumps located on the roadway. When the car lands off the ground, the driver has only small chance to control it. The car can easily leave the road after landing.

 

Cooperate with Organizers and Route marshals, in case of menace of danger organizer must be informed about the current situation. In case of any accident spectators should wait with possible help on organizers’ dispositions.

Especially dangerous locations are marked as “PROHIBITED AREA” or “NO GO AREA”. Do not try to enter these places, they can be terminally unsafe! Do not stand on “escape roads” as well. Do not cross the safety tape or net and stay behind it!

Don’t sit by the SS route. Always watch, what’s happening on the special stage. Think of quick evacuation of your place, at any time keep prepared an escape way and be prepare for quick reaction.

Do not cross the roadway and do not walk on the SS route during special stage! Take the position for watching the rally before start of first rally crews, not during the SS run! Count with time limits – take a look on the Rally guide in advance, when the SS route is giong to be closed before the start and re-opened after the end. Remember that the route SS is not re-opened until the Organizer’s vehicle passage!

Keep the distance from the edge of the roadway. Keep in mind the high speed of competing cars. It is impossible to eliminate either the driver’s mistake or an unpredictable technical defect of the vehicle.

Avoid places below level of the route. Do not stand on outer sides of curves, in front of houses or other impassable obstacles. In forest do not stand in front of the trees. For watching the competition shoose only places on elevated areas, behind solid obstacles etc.

Park your vehicles on reserved parking lots appointed by the police or the organizers. Do not park where you could stand in the way of competing crews, service staff and other participants of public traffic.

  • If you take the children to the rally, keep them under careful and constant view. Adults are fully responsible for children’s safety!

  • Avoid driving on access roads upstream of competition vehicles approaching the SS during the rally. Roadways to the special stages are often narrow and racers could be in a hurry.

  • Don’t stand in front of traffic or directive signs.

  • Don’t damage the environment!

  • Don’t throw anything on the route – it could endanger the safety of passing competing crews. This behavior is also handled in by law enforcement

  • NO ALCOHOL AT THE RALLY!!!
