Basic Rules of Rallying


For additional information regardng the rules of Monte Carlo Rallying see General Instructions on the Starlite page.

Safety on the Rallye


As you drive this rallye, please remember that rallye cars are not the only ones on the road. When creeping into an Inmarker, stay as far to the right as possible and do not block normal road traffic. If a faster car overtakes you, especially on a winding road, allow it to pass safely. If you are the faster car, wait for a safe opportunity to pass, and don't blind those in front of you with high-powered head lamps.

A rallye is NOT something to risk life and limb over, yours or anyone else's.

Mileages


All mileages provided in these routes are given in statute miles. Mileages based on the Rallyemaster's measurements have been corrected for odometer error as best as possible.

Course Controls


Course Controls may be MANNED or UNMANNED. If MANNED, stop and have your Control Card signed by a rallye worker. If UNMANNED, enter the information in the appropriate Course Control box on your Control Card and also report the information to the course worker at the appropriate STANDOFF or INMARKER.

Unless otherwise indicated, you may enter and leave Course Controls in any direction.

You will incur a 2.00 minute penalty for each Course Control missed. Missing a Control includes providing an incorrect answer for an UNMANNED control. The penalty will be assessed on the leg on which you must report the information. If a Course Control is listed as not applying to your class, then it DOES NOT EXIST for you, and you will not be assessed a penalty for either missing it or passing through it. If you encounter a MANNED Course Control stop and check in in any case. Course controls will be indicated on the maps by the letters CC.

Standoff


You are required to stop and check in at each STANDOFF. Hand the STANDOFF worker your Control Card so that it can be initialed and your arrival time recorded on the log.

Additional information may be available at Standoffs. It is up to you to ask for and obtain it. 2.00 minutes have been allotted at Standoffs to get the Inmarker sighting and any other relevant information.

Unless otherwise indicated by these instruction or by course workers, stopping past the STANDOFF SIGN will incur a penalty to be determined by the checkpoint captain. Standoffs will be indicated on the maps by the letters SO.

Inmarker


You are required to stop at each Inmarker. 1.00 minute has been allotted at each Inmarker to get your time recorded on your control card. Please do not interfere with another contestant's in-time. If a checkpoint worker determines that you have interfered with another contestant's valid in-time, you will be penalized. This penalty could result in your disqualification.

For this rallye, an Inmarker area is defined as the area on the Imarker road (the road where the timing box is located) between the two paved roads on either side of the Inmarker (upcourse and downcourse of the Inmarker) whether it is within sight of the Inmarker or not.
We hope you enjoy this event and we look forward seeing you at Starlite!
