2017 winners Phil Harris/Dan Pidgeon (M and H Photography)

REGULATIONS

A round of:

ASWMC Open Navigational Rally Championship

ASWMC Novice Navigational Rally Championship

South Hams Motor Club Rally Championship

FOREWARD

Welcome to the Supplementary Regulations for the 2018 Primrose Rally,

a Navigational Rally running on 3rd and 4th February 2018. We also

welcome support from Owen Vehicle Services, Buckfastleigh (National B

classes) and The Country Maid Sandwich Bar, Ivybridge (Clubman class).

We are glad to continue the association with these companies and their

help continue to enable us to run slick night events.

For an entry fee of £90, the Primrose Rally runs on maps 191, 192 and

202, with approximately 150 mile route. Included in the entry fee are two

breakfast tickets for each crew, around 6 miles of private land during the

night.

As with last year, we keep the additional Clubman permit – making it

easier for newcomers and crews that want more of a challenge than 12

cars without the expense of a National B Licence. All you need is SHMC

membership, which can be applied for with your entry and collected on

the night. Same price as the National B round, and you get exactly the

same.

I hope you can support this event with your entry and make the 2018

Primrose Rally a good one!

Regards,

Richard Brooks

Clerk of the Course

event will not run!

Penalties for early or late arrival once incurred will not be further penalised. You will be issued with the standard (“car 0”) time for all MTCs at the start of the event. Competitors will be required to make up lateness at Petrol/Rest halts. The route will include:

Standard Sections on the Highway- Timed to the Minute (R10.2- R10.2.4) Regularity Sections. (R10.4) Non-Competitive sections - Neutral (R10.3 – R10.3.2) Lateness Recovery Sections: See SR14 – LRTC. (Below) Timed Sections off the Public Highway: These sections might have Timed Controls to the second,

less than 2 miles apart, and Manned and Unmanned Controls less than 500m apart, but you won’t be expected to average more than 30 mph between Consecutive Timed Controls.

14. Types of Control or Check: Route Check (RC) [R11.3-11.3.3]: An unmanned check to establish a Competitor’s adherence to the correct route. Proof of passage will entail the Competitor recording the symbols from a Code Board that must be placed facing oncoming Rally Cars. These boards will be available for familiarisation at signing on. Passage Control (PC) [R11.4-11.4.2]: A manned control established to prove a Competitor’s adherence to the correct route. If unmanned will automatically become a Route Check (see above). These boards will be available for familiarisation at signing on. Time Control (TC/RSTC/IRTC/RFTC) [R11.5, R11.5.1]: A manned control established to record the time of a Competitor who must come to a stop for the purpose. It can additionally record the direction of approach and departure of the Competitor. Neutral Time Control (NTC) [R10.3] A TC at the end of a Neutral Section which has been used to take competitors through a PR-sensitive area or Densely Populated area. It must be completed by competitors without the use of auxiliary lighting, except as permitted by law in conditions of poor visibility. Competitors cannot make up time on the public highway, and no lateness penalty will apply apart from Maximum Lateness. Main Time Control [R11.6]: Organisers may designate certain Time Controls [11.5], such as Start Controls and Restart Controls, as Main Time Controls (MTCs). Competitors failing to visit or reporting outside their maximum lateness at MTCs will be considered to have retired. Early or late arrival or departure will be penalised in accordance with R Chart 13(e) or (f). Lateness Recovery Time Control (LRTC): Organisers may designate certain Time Controls [11.5] along the route as Lateness Recovery Time Control (LRTC), these are the organiser specified control to reduce lateness NOT at a rest halt. The amount of time that can be recovered will be specified on the Competitor’s Time Card or Route Card. Authentication of Records [R11.5.2, R11.5.3] The only other information permitted to be recorded by the Marshal is the authentication of the records held by the Competitor. These records, to be valid, must be signed by the Marshal with the Competitor not being required to make any entry on the Time Card. Give Way: An untimed manned check/control, at any point of the route, which is to establish Correct Route or Driving standards (compliance for complete stop at junctions) Control General:

All controls will open 15 minutes before due time of car 1, and will close 30 minutes after the last car is due.[R11.1]

All manned control areas will be marked by a “Control” board upon correct approach. For marshal safety, all competitors are required to come to a complete stop at this board, before proceeding into the control.

Competitors will be timed when they pass the control board and any competitors arriving early should wait outside the control area until their allotted minute. The only exception is for Road Safety reasons, with the permission of the marshal officiating that control.

An example of all Official boards will be on display at documentation for the event. [R11.6.3] Marshals will be deemed Judges of fact as to when you entered the control area Some Controls will be 3 Metre controls –with the Control Board appropriately placed –correct route

to and from these controls be defined by NAM diagrams. Any Boarded PC or RC must be signed for and the next manned control (not DSO or GW). Failure to

comply will be deemed that you have missed the PC/RC and penalised as per SR 15 Early arrival will be penalised - if you think there's a discrepancy between the organisers clock and

your timing device then get the marshal to record the exact seconds they say you entered the control somewhere on your timecards. Whatever minute they put on your timecard is the minute you should now work out when you are due at the next control – remember you must never run ahead of your scheduled time during the event.

Organisers may establish a check at any point for the purpose of observing maintenance to the route. The competitors will have all the information required to comply.

15. Penalties

To be classified as a finisher you must visit all MTCs within your OTL. All competitors will start with zero marks and the penalties will be scored as per the TIME system in Section R’s Chart 13. An addition to this chart is: (U) Stopping within sight or excessive slowing within sight of an IRTC: Zero Marks per offence.
