Recovery – Whilst we do not intend to leave broken down cars stranded on the stage all day, our priority is to avoid delays and run all 12 stages. As such if you break down on a stage, you may not be recovered to the service area immediately. If you do break down on a stage both the organisers and your fellow competitors will be grateful if you try and park in a safe place off the actual stage. l. Punctures - Competitors who suffer a puncture on the circuit must immediately pull off the circuit. They may change the tyre and continue if safe to do so. Any competitor continuing to drive on the race circuit or any grassed area with a punctured tyre where the wheel rim is in contact with the tarmac of the race circuit or grass will be excluded from the results and will be liable for the cost of any damage to the surface of the circuit. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that competitors carry a spare wheel, triangle and suitable equipment to complete a wheel change on any terrain. This should be secured in position before scrutineering. Any competitor who persistently “cuts corner ‟ resulting in damage to the grass will suffer the penalty of exclusion. Judges of Fact will be appointed for both the above. smcstages.co.uk Page | 10 JC Motor Services SMC STAGES smcstages.co.uk SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS Page | 11 JC Motor Services SMC STAGES SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS ANCC Stage Rally Championship 2016 GAZZARD ACCOUNTS LTD 33 Acresfield Road, Middleton, Manchester.
