Event Format Final Instructions will be sent to person nominated on the entry form on Saturday March 10, the finals will carry the same force as these regulations. The event will contain 10 special stages totalling approximately 30 miles on 100% tarmac roads. All Stage starts will utilise the traffic light start system and will be at 30 second intervals. Detected jump starts will be penalised. The route will contain link sections on the public highway and there will be one service area within Weston Park. Maximum permitted penalty free lateness will be 5 minutes between MC1 & MC2 Competitors will be supplied with Stage Diagrams and Time Cards at signing on. These documents will provide competitors with the necessary information to comply with Section R26 & R33. The stages will be timed to an accuracy of less than one minute using the Target Timing system as defined in Section R31 & R32 of the Motorsport UK 2019 year book, with the following amendments: Delete R32.3 to R32.13 All road link section times will appear on the time cards. All stage bogey times are set at 75 mph. Competitors will be required to visit the following Time Controls in event order: Main Time Controls (MC), Special Stage Arrival Time Controls (SSA), Special Stage Start Controls (SSS), and
Special Stage Finish Controls (SSF). Passage Controls (PC) will also be established for the collection of time cards, or to issue further instructions additional to the existing Route Maps or SR`s. Main Control (MC) - At start and finish. Special Stage Arrival Controls (SSA) On arrival at an SSA competitors will receive an arrival time only when the crew is ready to start the stage (i.e Helmet & FHR on, seat belts fastened etc.). A competitor who is early may wait outside the control area for his/her due time. Once a time has been given he/she must proceed to the stage start immediately. Special Stage Start Control (SSS) At an SSS competitors will be given a start time in hours, minutes and seconds. Once a competitor has booked into the control the start marshal will assume that the competitor is ready to start the stage and will issue a start time. When the start line is clear, the marshal will inform the competitor that he is due to start the stage. At 15 seconds prior to start, the crew will also be advised that the “traffic light start system” has taken over the start procedure; the car will start the stage on the green light. A 60 second penalty will be applied for any jump start; a jump start detector beam will be in place at all stage starts. As each section is timed separately, the time taken between the SSA and SSS is dead time and delays are automatically allowed for. The area between SSA and SSS will be treated as Parc Ferme. R32.2d will apply at all stage starts.[Chart Page 334 Motorsport UK Blue Book 2019] Special Stage Finish Control (SSF) At a SSF competitors will be given a finish time, recorded at the flying finish line, in hours, minutes and seconds. This time, ignoring the seconds, will be the start time for the link section to the next MC or SSA, and will enable the competitor to calculate his/her due time at that next MC or SSA. Any competitor who fails to stop at the SSF stop line must not, under penalty of exclusion, reverse back to the control, but must return on foot. Once a competitor has accepted a time no further claims will be considered. Any correction or amendment to a Time Card without official approval will result in exclusion from the event. It is the competitor’s responsibility to hand in each time card at the passage check after every stage finish. Competitors stage times will be checked throughout the day by the results team via print outs from the stage finish clocks. 13. Identification Competitors will be identified by competition numbers complying with J4 these numbers must be supplied by the competitor and be in position prior to noise / scrutineering.

The event, at this unique venue is under further pressure with new Motorsport UK rules being applied to venue safety. WE would like 50 MARSHALS in attendance more if possible. We ask each and every competitor in the weeks leading up to this event to ask at their car club for marshalling support for this event….. otherwise there could be no event…… PLEASE ASK YOUR CAR CLUB MEMBERS TO COME ALONG AND MARSHAL. Contact Event Chief Marshal.. David Allman david-allman@tiscali.co.uk or the Clerk of the Course, Dan Lister dan-lister@hotmail.co.uk Register to Marshal see www.agborally.uk
