SS2/06 · THE QUESTIONSFORK · THE QUESTIONS
Asked every time.
It is rallying, so things break. That is why the crew, the chase cars and three sets of spares exist. If the car genuinely cannot continue, what happens next is already written into your agreement.
It is motorsport on real roads. The car carries a current-spec cage, seats, harnesses and extinguisher systems. The event carries medical and rescue cover. The biggest safety factor is the pace you choose, and that gets coached all week.
Then you stop. The crew brings the car home and nobody makes a face about it. Rejoining a later leg is often possible under event rules.
No. The shakedown week exists to turn an experienced road driver into a competent rally crew. We will not put someone unready on a start line.
No. Entries are granted by the event organisers. What we guarantee is an entry that is professionally prepared and properly submitted.
The brief, in writing.
A short pack: the programme outline, what the seat includes, the timeline. Sent by email, followed up once.
