Spectator Safety

Important Safety Information

Rally cars can do the unexpected so, for your own safety and that of others, please:

Respect the marshals and follow their instructions
Observe the colour coded tape and all signage
Use the natural environment to protect yourself
Don't walk on the rally stage
Stay standing and remain alert
Remember that alcohol and drugs can impair your responses and threaten your safety

On the Stage:

DANGER NO SPECTATORS BEYOND THIS POINT - means what it says
Look after yourself and don't place yourself or others in danger
Plan to be in your chosen location 45 minutes before the first car is due
Look after your children
No dogs unless disabled-assistance dogs
The MSA Safety Delegate will expect everyone to be in location when they come round, this will be 30 - 40 minutes before the first car is due. The Safety Delegate can and will cancel stages if people are not standing in appropriate places

The organisers will stop or cancel any stages if they consider that the safety of spectators, competitors or officials may be compromised.

Drones

Please do not bring drones to the rally as their use is expressly prohibited over or near any part of the event, the stages or service area. Marshals will be empowered to ground any drone that attempts to fly during the event and if required the stage itself will be stopped. One drone is approved to be flown on event by Special Stage as part of their agreement with the event.

Dogs

Please do not bring your dogs to the event as they can be startled by the loud noises and cause a danger to themselves and others - disabled-assistance dogs only are permitted (on leads at all times).
