PREVIOUS WINNERS OF THIS EVENT

Welcome from Scarborough Borough Council

As the Borough Mayor I am delighted to be allowed the chance to welcome all the competitors, together with their friends and families, to Whitby for the North Humberside Forest Rally 2007. We are, of course, delighted that you have chosen the beautiful North Yorkshire Forests in which to stage this year's event and on behalf of Scarborough Borough Council, I would like to thank the organisers for bringing the rally here this year.

I understand that as well as the 300-400 competitors and their vehicles, that there are likely to be another 1000 extra visitors in Whitby who are friends and family members. That's a remarkable achievement for the North Humberside Motor Club and obviously proves that the rally is as popular as it has been for the last 25 years with motor sport fans. I hope I'm lucky enough to be able to view some of the day's events.

I would like to take this opportunity of wishing you all a most enjoyable day in the Forest and perhaps an extended stay in the Whitby area. I am sure the rally will be a great success and that you may consider bringing the event back to the Whitby area next year. Rest assured, you will always receive a very warm and grateful welcome from the Borough Council.

Councillor W Herbert Tindall
Mayor of the Borough of Scarborough

On behalf of Scarborough Borough Council

16. PROTESTS

17. SCRUTINEERING, DOCUMENTATION AND SIGNING ON (SEE ALSO SR7)

It is the responsibility of the entrants when presenting their cars for scrutiny to ensure compliance with the Road Traffic Act, Construction and Use Regulations, and MSA Technical Regulations (in particular Q and R). In addition to the above, the vehicles will be checked for general road-worthiness, suitability, eligibility and noise level. Persons accompanying vehicles at scrutineering will be deemed to have full knowledge of the vehicle and its eligibility for the event and class entered.
Competitors' attention is drawn to the regulations on overalls (GR Q9), crash helmets (GR Q10) and FIA homologated seat belts (K37.13.2, Q2.1.2).
Petrol will NOT be available at the scrutineering venue.
Competitors competing in classes N1, N3, N4 and A5 must carry either Group A or BOTH Group A and Group N Homologation papers (as appropriate) for their car; these papers must be presented at scrutineering and at any other time during the event upon demand.
Competitors should note that specific checks will be made in respect of the following points:-

N.B. Vehicles bearing a cherished registration number or vehicles whose registration prefix letter could mean the vehicle is over 3 years of age should produce the Vehicle Registration Document and if necessary a current MOT certificate.
Competitors' attention is drawn to the MSA tyre regulations (GR R2).
The noise test will be carried out in accordance with GR E12.17 (specifically E12.17.8 Section C (100dba at 0.5 metres)). A further noise check or checks may be made during the course of the event. Competitors exceeding the noise limit at any of these checks may be refused permission to start, refused permission to continue or excluded, as appropriate (GR K5.1.3).
Competitors wishing to carry a video camera in the car must apply in writing to the Entries Secretaries for authorisation (E 12.19.5). If authorised by the Clerk of the Course, a letter of authorisation will be issued which must be presented to the Chief Scrutineer who will inspect the camera fitting (K 37.9.9).
Entrants will be issued with a Road Book, Route Card and Time Cards at least one hour before his/her start time. The supplementary information for special stages will take the form of tulip diagrams. The road book will provide all the information necessary to enable competitors to comply with GR K32.1 and GR K3.3.1.
Competitors may be required to make up lateness at rest halts.
Should any changes take place on special stages which may be at variance with the tulip diagram issued, then the correct route will be deemed to be that designated by the stage arrowing (GR K25.9). The onus is on the competitor to follow the stage arrowing correctly and no protests will be allowed on this point (GR K26.1).

18. CONTROLS AND TIMING

This is a Target Timing Event. Crews must present themselves with their cars at all controls. All clocks will be set to BBC time. Special stage timing will be by digital clocks operated by marshals under the control of the MSA Timekeeper. All stages will have a bogey time indicated in the road book. Competitors are reminded that they must be ready to start a special stage when required to do so by the start marshal.

It is the competitor's responsibility to ensure that his times are correctly recorded on his time card and that the time card is handed in when and where instructed (GR K26.3.3).

The Rally will be divided into Road Sections and Special Stages. All controls other than Passage Controls (PCs) and Route Checks will be Time Controls (TCs). Each Road Section will be allocated a Target Time based on approximately 28 mph average or less (the target average speed, which may differ for different Road Sections) and a competitor can calculate his Due Time of arrival at any TC by adding this Target Time to his actual time of departing from the preceding TC.

On Short Road Sections following a Special Stage, three or four minutes extra will be allowed over the time calculated from the target average speed to account for any delays at the Special Stage Finish.
Competitors will receive penalties and accumulate lateness on Road Sections as follows:

All Special Stages will have a Bogey Time set at 65 mph (or 75 mph if the stage is entirely on a sealed surface), and a Maximum Time set at approximately 30 mph (or less on short stages).
Competitors will receive penalties and accumulate lateness on Special Stages as follows:

Lateness lost on Road Sections and Special Stages is cumulative and once lost cannot be regained. When a competitor's accumulated lateness calculated from the previous Main Control exceeds the permitted maximum of 20 minutes, that competitor will be excluded. Should any recorded times not be legible or not appear authentic, the Organisers may use any means at their disposal to establish a time (GR K26.3.4).

At all controls (other than stage finishes) a competitor who is early may wait for his Due Time outside the Control Area (GR K29.3).

Time Control (TC)

Main Control (MC)

Main Controls will be situated at the Start and Finish of the Rally, immediately before and after any Rest Halt, or at any other specified point. At an MC after a Rest Halt, competitors will restart at one minute intervals, either in original start order, or in the order in which they passed through a control prior to the halt. The method to be used will be notified in an official instruction and, if the order of passing through a control prior to a halt is to be used, the control will be specified in an official instruction. Each competitor will be given a due starting time from any MC and the difference between this and the actual starting time will be counted towards exclusion for overall lateness. Also a time penalty will be applied. Competitors not excluded by reason of having accumulated more than the maximum permitted lateness will restart (subject to the provisions above) from any MC with zero lateness, i.e. lateness is only accumulated between two adjacent MCs. At the last Main Control of the rally competitors are allowed to check in advance of their due time using the procedure in K 29.3.3.

Regrouping Control (RC)

A Regrouping Control may be situated at any specified point. Competitors will restart from the RC at one minute intervals in the order of their arrival at the TC immediately preceding the RC. Each competitor will be given a due starting time from an RC and the difference between this time and his actual starting time will be counted towards exclusion for overall lateness. Accumulated lateness cannot be reduced at an RC (that is, accumulated lateness is NOT reset to zero at an RC).

Special Stage Arrival Control (SSA)

On arrival at an SSA a competitor will receive an arrival time. At the SSA a competitor will be given a provisional start time for the stage in hours and minutes, a minimum of 3 minutes after the arrival time. The competitor must then proceed immediately to the start line. Once a competitor has been allocated a provisional start time, the start marshal will assume the competitor is ready to start the stage. A maximum of 5 minutes will be allowed to change a flat tyre (GR K30.4(k)).

Special Stage Start Control (SSS)

(GR K25.12) The starting signal for Special stages will be either a set of traffic lights driven automatically from the start clock or a flag.
For stages using a flag as the starting signal, the starting procedure will be: the start marshal will inform the competitor at 30 seconds to go, 15 seconds, 10 seconds and at 5 seconds will hold a flag ahead of the driver. He will raise the flag at zero. The raising of the flag will be the signal to start.
For stages using traffic lights, the starting procedure will be:

As each section is timed separately, the time taken from SSA to SSS is `dead time' and delays are automatically allowed for. The area between the beginning of the SSA Control Area and the Stage Start will be `Parc Fermé'.

Special Stage Finish Control (SSF)

At the SSF the competitor will receive a finish time in hours, minutes and seconds. This time, in hours and minutes, will be the start time for the following Road Section. Any competitor who fails to stop at the `Stop' line must not, under pain of exclusion, reverse to the stop line, but must return on foot (GR K25.9.1, K31(p)).

Service Area (SV)

All service areas will have `IN' and `OUT' Time Controls and a target time will be specified between these controls. The section between SV `IN' and SV `OUT' will be marked as a road section.

Passage Control (PC)

At certain points indicated in the Road Book the Organisers may establish PCs in order to collect time cards from competitors or for other purposes. There will be no official times recorded at these controls, but a competitor failing to provide the necessary documents at any PC will be deemed not to have visited that control.

19. IDENTIFICATION

Up to 1400 cc competitors will be identified by competition numbers starting at 201; all other competitors will be identified by competition numbers starting at 1. The Organisers will issue rally plates to be fixed to the front and rear of the vehicle. In addition, competitors must display any advertising material specified by the Organisers on both front doors of the car. Rally plates relating to previous events must be removed prior to scrutineering. Competitors are reminded that these identification markings must be kept clean and legible throughout the event and must be removed or covered after the event or upon retirement (GR K10.1).

20. SUMMARY OF PENALTIES

21. GENERAL REGULATIONS

All other General Regulations of the MSA apply as written except for the following which are modified:

22. MEDICAL ASSISTANCE/SAFETY

All vehicles must carry an A4 size white board with a red SOS on one side and black OK on the other. Letters to a minimum of 12 cm high with a minimum stroke width of 1.5 cm. In the case of an accident where urgent medical attention is required, where possible the red "SOS" board should be immediately displayed to the following cars and to any helicopter attempting to assist. Any crew which has the Red "SOS" board displayed to them or sees a car which has sustained a major accident where both crew members are seen inside the car but are not displaying the red "SOS" board, shall immediately and without exception stop to render assistance.
All following cars shall also stop. The second car at the scene shall proceed to inform the next radio point. (The competitor's RalliTrak hand-held emergency radio may also be used to alert the stage safety services immediately.) Subsequent cars shall leave a clear route for emergency vehicles.
The Clerk of the Course, at his discretion, may award a notional time to any competitor(s) delayed by making such a report. Any crew which is able to but fails to comply with the rule will be reported to the Clerk of the Course who may impose penalties.
In the case of an accident where medical intervention is not required, the "OK" board must be clearly shown by a crew member to the following vehicles and to any helicopter attempting to assist. If the crew leave the vehicle, the "OK" board must be displayed so that it is clearly visible to other competitors. Any competitor seeing an OK board displayed must report the fact to the stage stop line marshals.
Each competing car must carry a reflective triangle which, in the event of the car stopping in a special stage, must be placed in a conspicuous position by a member of the crew at least 50 metres before the car's position, in order to warn following drivers. Any crews failing to comply may be subject to a penalty at the discretion of the Clerk of the Course. This triangle must be placed even if the stopped car is off the road.

Any crew retiring from a rally must report such retirement to the organisers as soon as possible, save in a case of force majeure. Any crew failing to comply will be subject to a penalty at the Clerk of the Course's discretion. Competitors who misuse the "SOS" or "OK" board will be penalised and may be reported to the MSA for further penalty.

23. PACE NOTES AND SUBJECTIVE ROUTE NOTES

Subjective Route Notes for this event will be available from Patterson Pacenotes (Brian and Liz Patterson). It is the competitor's responsibility to order and pay for their notes direct from Patterson Pacenotes as the event organisers will not be involved in this process in any way. Please see the Patterson Pacenotes advert in these Regulations for further details.

No other route notes are authorised for use on this event, and if found will be penalised in accordance with K25.13. This does not however preclude competitors from making notations thereon to suit their individual purposes or to transfer information provided by the organisers (i.e. logging and safety information) on to the notes. In all instances competitors are advised that the organisers accept no liability or responsibility for the use of the Subjective Route Notes.
Competitors may also use 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey maps on which they may mark the route, any information provided by the Organisers, or information from Patterson Pacenotes subjective route notes for this event.

Reconnaissance is not allowed. From the date of publication of these Regulations, where it is established that a competitor or entrant, their agent, representative or any other person or persons connected with a competitor or entrant has caused, arranged, directed, or carried out reconnaissance, or inspected or noted, in any form the sections within the area covered by maps listed in these Regulations before competitors have covered the stages, they will be excluded from the results or refused permission to start, as appropriate to the case. All such occurrences will be reported to the MSA (GR K6.2). The only exception to this Regulation will be for persons who live on, or whose employment causes them to travel along, a road used on the event.

24. SERVICING

25. DAMAGE DECLARATION

Competitors will be required to complete and sign a report declaring they have not been involved in any incident resulting in damage to private property or injury to persons or animals, or alternatively giving details of any such incident where damage or injury has occurred. Any information given will not incur a penalty but failure to hand in a duly completed form will mean Exclusion. Competitors who retire on a stage should give their completed damage declaration form to the first Course Closing Car. Other competitors who do not report to the Finish are required to forward the report to the Secretary of the Meeting within 48 hours of the event, unless they have been involved in an incident in which case details must be given to the Organisers that same day. Competitors failing to comply will be reported to the MSA and excluded (GR K35.4 and K31(p)). During the event, the Organisers may be contacted at Rally HQ whose telephone number will be given in Final Instructions.

26. JUDGES OF FACT

Under GR C11.2 and GR K24.2.11 the following facts will be judged by officials as specified:

MSA Scrutineers are Judges of Fact in respect of Vehicle Eligibility (GR C11.3)
Your attention is drawn to the fact that it is the intention of the organisers strictly to enforce the MSA Requirements regarding noise (SR17) and advertising. In particular, excessive noise and backfiring will be monitored very closely throughout the event. Judges of Fact and Driving Standards Observers will be appointed to report on sound levels. Excessive sound will include instantaneous occurrence of noise such as that produced by backfiring caused by anti-lag systems. The penalty for excessive sound may go as far as exclusion (GR K24.2.13). Competitors should pay particular heed to GR C11 and C12.2.

27. DRIVING STANDARDS OBSERVERS

Officials will be appointed to judge driving standards GR K24.2.12.
Driving Standards Observers will have the powers listed in GR K24.2.12 and they will have the power to instruct competitors to withdraw from the event (GR C13.3).

28. EVENT CANCELLATION

Should it be necessary to cancel the event due to legal requirements or other unforseeen circumstances, the exact amount of refund will be determined by the actual administration expenses incurred. The Organisers are not liable for any further consequential losses incurred by prospective competitors because of event cancellation (GR B16).

29. CANCELLATION OF STAGES

Should it be necessary to cancel a stage during the rally, or to delete a stage from the results of the event, only the stage penalties will be cancelled. Unless a competitor has received written instructions to the contrary and has signed to that effect, the cancelled stage must be traversed within the Stage Maximum Time. A competitor who exceeds the Stage Maximum Time on such a stage will have the excess time debited to his accumulated lateness. Any competitor who does not have a time recorded at the start or finish of a cancelled stage will be excluded (GR K31(a)).

GR E7.1.3	Competitors may be members of more than one team. (SR10)
GR K9.1.3	Only the first named driver may drive during the event.
GR K24.2.8	For the purposes of determining the notional time to be given to a crew who has not been able to cover a stage in the normal manner due to the running of a Special Stage being stopped, the two categories of vehicles in the rally will be treated as separate events. The notional time for competitors in Classes N1, A5, B8, B9, and H14 will correspond to the slowest time set by a competitor in these classes, up to the moment of interruption. The notional time for competitors in Classes N3, N4, B10, B11, B12, B13 and H15 will correspond to the slowest time set by a competitor in these classes, up to the moment of interruption. If, in the case of either category, it appears that the slowest time represents a complete anomaly, the next slowest time may be retained (and so on until the 5th slowest time). However, no crew which is totally or partially responsible for stopping a stage may benefit from this measure. If they finish the stage they will be given the time which they actually set even if this is greater than the time awarded to other crews.
GR K25.13	Subjective Route Notes from Patterson Pacenotes are permitted on this event, see SR 23.
GR K34.1 GR K34.1.1	Servicing will only be permitted in accordance with SR24. No other servicing is allowed and Judges of Fact will be appointed to enforce this. To assist competitors, a service schedule will be issued with Final Instructions.
