21. CONTROLS
Controls will open 20 minutes before the first car. Maximum lateness will be 30 minutes.
Controls & checks will be designated one of the following:
| MTC | Main Time Controls located at the start and finish of each half of the event which competitors MUST visit, timed to the previous whole minute. The control at the end of each half end neutral sections. |
| STC | Control at the end of a standard section, timed to the previous whole minute. |
| TTC | Control at the end of a transport section where you may make up time subject to ¾ rule. |
| TRC | Time recovery control at the end of a standard section where you may make up time as allowed on the time card. |
| NTC | Control at the end of a neutral section, timed to the previous whole minute. |
| RTC | Control at the end of a regularity section, timed to the previous whole minute. |
| IRTC | Control in the middle of a regularity section timed to the previous whole second. |
| PC | Manned check, untimed used as a manned route check or where a clock fails. |
| RC | Route Check, evidenced by writing down a seven digit code on time cards and signed by the marshal at the next manned control. |
If an official clock fails, then the control will assume the status of a PC.
If a control is known to be unmanned, proceed to the next manned control by the route instructions. A number plate will be in the position of the unmanned control and you should write down the number on your time card. Your due time at the next control will be the time for that section and the next added up. Unmanned controls will be advised at the briefing or at MTC1.
To be classified as a finisher, competitors must visit two thirds of all manned controls and visit all main time controls (MTC's) within their maximum permitted lateness. (K20.1). Any lateness must be made up at the rest halt. Competitors will restart from the MTC after the rest halt at their scheduled time as shown on the time card.
22. INSURANCE - Bradstock Rally Scheme
The Club has applied to Bradstock Insurance Brokers for a Blanket Certificate of Insurance under the above scheme to provide those competitors who need to use the scheme with third party cover to meet RTA requirements on the road. The standard premium (before loading) is £13.75 per car. In order to compete in the event, drivers must be able to sign one of the declarations on the entry form as shown below:-

23. UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES
24. ROUTE
The route will be approximately 140 miles on metalled roads. Petrol will be available after approximately 74 and 110 miles. The route will be the shortest route on any road marked on the map between controls avoiding out of bounds areas and complying with the road book. All official distances are deemed correct and no protest will be allowed.
25. INTERPRETATION
26. TIMING HINTS
| 1 | Standard Sections STC You are penalised for losing time on these sections. If you take a time earlier than allowed, the penalties are doubled. You are not penalised for arriving early if you can make up time subject to strict guidelines (see 5 below). If you cut route and rejoin at a standard control you CAN rejoin at your scheduled time. |
| 2 | Neutral Sections NTC MTC Neutral sections are non-competitive, you cannot make up time on these sections no matter how late you are. You must grin and bear it - the penalties are severe at one fail. If you rejoin at a neutral control, you MUST take a time equivalent to the same number of minutes late at the last control you recorded a time. |
| 3 | Transport Sections TTC These sections are used to take you from one part of the route to another. You are not penalised for arriving late other than for maximum lateness. You may make up time subject to section 5. |
| 4 | Regularity Sections These sections will be timed to less than 30 mph and you will required to stop at an intermediate control [ IRTC] where you will be timed to the second you present your timecard. The control at the end of the section RTC is timed to the previous whole minute. See section ASR 17 re penalties. Time CANNOT be made up in these sections. |
| 5 | Time Make-up and the Three Quarter Rule. Make the most of any designated time make-up sections or any standard sections that are easily cleanable. If such a section is 4 miles or less you can take an early time as possible. If it is more than 4 miles then you can only make up a quarter of the total time allowed, e.g. if it is 6 miles long and the time allowed is 12 minutes then you can take 9 minutes for the section without penalty. The above only applies if you are running late in the first place. You will be penalised if you make up time and book in before your scheduled time. The make up time allowed is shown on your timecards. |
| 6 | Outside Total Lateness. (OTL) Always watch OTL. If you are more than 30 minutes late at any time control then you pick up a maximum penalty of 1 Fail. So if you do reach OTL then don't keep plodding on - instead miss out a section and get yourself back within 30 minutes lateness. See 1 & 2 above as where you should rejoin. You can work out your OTL time at any control by adding your start number plus 31 to the car 0 due time. |
27. GENERAL TIPS
| a | Do not rely on marshals to explain what you have to do. It is not their job and some may be as green as you are. |
| b | Do not follow another competitor. Only do so if you are absolutely hopelessly lost. He may be lost too. |
| c | If you end up going competitive (in a Standard Section) and you have to get out to open a gate then you can safely assume that you have gone the wrong way. |
| d | Make sure you have plenty of pencils, rubbers etc. readily at hand. |
| e | Tell your driver to slow down if you are looking for tricky junctions. It is a common tendency for novice drivers to drive as fast as possible all the time (especially in front of spectators). In doing so you invariably end up overshooting junctions, picking up WD’s or worse still demolishing a hedge or wall. |
| f | Make sure any route checks are recorded properly. See ASR 16d |
28. NAVIGATION EXAMPLES
The following examples all specify the same route on Map 106. Start reference 653407
| 1 | Map References are simply a list of points to visit, the direction of approach to a point is indicated by letters in front of the reference, the departure by the letters after. Map references will also give those points which are blackspots and should not be visited. If these are out of order, they will be listed as per the tulips shown below. 653 407 W SE 637 426 ENE SW 674 446 W Finishing point ESE 659 457 |
| 2 | Spot Heights proceed via the spot height, only pass through those specified treat any others as Blackspots. Spot heights may also be given as avoids. 5 7 9 16 18 12 |
| 3 | Entering or departing Grid Squares cross into/from the grid square in the direction given E S S E W S W W S W E S E Enter the grid squares in the direction given |
| 4 | Tulips are a picture of each junction encountered. These will be in either numerical or alphabetical order and will show the order in which they must be visited. The example shows arrows for the route to be followed and dots for the road you are on. They will be shown with a head and tail may be out of order. Whites will be shown as a solid line. Tulips may also be shown with the direction of approach from the bottom. They will show in which order the junctions are to be used.
|
| 5 | Gridlines cross the grid lines (the faint blue horizontal and vertical lines) in the specified order. They may be in numerical order or may be shown as V (vertical) or H (horizontal). 65 41 42 64 64 43 65 66 44 67 67 45 66 |
| 6 | Herringbones. The back bone of the herringbone is the correct route. A line on the left indicates either a road passed on the left, or turning right off the road you were on. A line on the right similarly means pass a road on the right, or turn left. A V on either side indicates turning at a cross-roads in the opposite direction to the side the V is on, and a line on each side means straight on at a cross-roads. The arrow indicates tje direction of travel and the route may read from right to left.
