Data provided by RallySafe will provide the Organisers with the speed of vehicles through a quiet zone Road Card (Refer To Article 606) Road cards will be issued to crews at the start of each Leg and these are to be carried through to the end of the Leg and handed in to the Official. They will carry information of target times (for special stages) and times allowed (for liaison sections) and will be used by Officials to record the time of passage, and if applicable, any wrong direction at controls. A spare card will be in each Leg s road book for use if the original road card is lost Time (1) Time allowed (liaison section, service park) - is the time specified to complete a liaison section, or time in a service park. (2) Target Time - is the time limit, not requiring an average speed greater than 60 km/h, for a crew to complete a special stage without any loss of late time. (3) Itinerary Time - is the time used by the Organisers on a special stage to determine the itinerary for the event. (4) Due time - is the time that a crew is to report to a time control having added the time allowed, or target time, to the previous start time from a time control. (5) Elapsed time - is the actual time taken on special stages/liaison sections. (6) Penalty time - is time taken on a special stage, the time taken in excess of the time allowed on a liaison section and any penalties expressed in time. The total penalty time is the sum of all penalties, which determines the General Classification. (7) Late time - refer to Article 605. (8) Road works - Any delays at road works on liaison sections will be added to the time allowed by the Organisers, at the end of the Leg, and crews should note on the road card the length of such delays and also formally advise the Organisers within one hour of arrival of the crew at the end of the Leg. Crews are NOT to exceed speed limits in an attempt to pick up time held up at the road works. The Organisers will credit crews with the road works delay time, upon application in writing and subsequent investigation. ARTICLE 622 THE COURSE Must Complete Course/Classification Of A Finisher The course must be completed in accordance with the instructions listed in the road books. Failure to do so will incur penalties set out in these Regulations. To be classified as a finisher a crew must complete at least 70% of the number of special stages listed in the itinerary listed in the road books at the start of the event, or as subsequently amended by the Organisers. A crew will be deemed to have reported to any special stage cancelled by the Clerk of the Course, provided the crew had not withdrawn prior to cancellation. Finishers will be presented with a Finishers Medallion on arrival at the end of the competition. Classic Outback Trial 2018 Supplementary Regulations 23

24 622.2 Organisers Rights (1) The Clerk of the Course may at any time: neutralise any special stage and/or liaison section; re-time any part of the course; re-form or re-group the field in regard to starting order; re-schedule any part of the course; terminate the event. (2) If the event is terminated when partly run placings will be determined up to the time control immediately preceding the termination. Awards will be made to those crews who completed the course in accordance with this determination Reconnaissance, Pace-Noting Or Practising Any kind of reconnaissance, pace-noting or practising over the course, including the prologue, is forbidden. If a crew, or their service crew, on evidence presented to and assessed by the Clerk of the Course, has been detected reconnoitering the course or practising over the course, that crew shall be reported to CAMS (if prior to the event), or the Stewards at the event, with a recommendation that the crew not be permitted to start the event, or continue in the event, and that the entry fee be forfeited. Note: One reason for this regulation is that most special stages will be conducted on private land with the permission of the land owners and a condition of permission is that such activity does not take place. Many gates are padlocked Detours, Road Closed Signs Unless specifically directed otherwise, all detour, road closed or similar signs erected by civil authorities must be observed and the correct route re-joined at the first opportunity, unless the road book or other document issued by the Organisers specifically advises that such signs are to be ignored. The Clerk of the Course will investigate any such detour and adjust penalties, if incurred, accordingly Gates (1) Gates in special stages All gates in special stages will be open for the competition. (2) Gates on Liaison Sections Where GATE is listed in the road book this means there is a gate to be opened and closed. Where GATEWAY is listed this means there is no gate or the gate is open and may be left that way Controlled Speed On Special Stages If the Organisers are required to control the crews speed on a special stage due to concerns about road conditions, terminal speeds, or environmental or social impacts control may be achieved by use of one of more of the following options: (1) Restricted Speed Zone (RSZ) where crews must not exceed a specified speed limit for a specified length of road. (2) Timed Restriction Zone (TRZ) where crews must not take less than a specified time to traverse a specified length of road. (3) Virtual Chicane (VC) where crews must achieve a specified minimum speed limit at some point within a specified length of road of at least 200m. (4) Maximum Speed where crews must not exceed a specified maximum speed on a special stage with the speed being measured by a GPS tracking device in the vehicle (5) If any controlled speed measures are to be taken by the Organisers details will be advised in a Bulletin Hazards Warnings In Road Books Wherever the word caution is used in an instruction in the road book, its degree shall be indicated by the use of exclamation marks: One exclamation mark (!) indicates a hazard where no significant reduction in speed is required but where difficulty might be encountered if crews were unaware of the hazard. It is not necessary to use the instruction caution with this indication. Two exclamation marks (!!) indicate a situation where damage to a vehicle could result from negotiating the hazard at speed. This indication shall be used in conjunction with the instruction caution. Three exclamation marks (!!!) indicates a severe hazard which cannot be negotiated without a significant reduction in speed. This indication shall be used in conjunction with the instruction extreme caution. Hazard warning boards (!!, or!!!) are placed 50 metres to 200 metres before a hazard (distance depending on the speed of the approach) and an X board placed at the location of the hazard itself. Classic Outback Trial 2018 Supplementary Regulations 24

25 ARTICLE 623 TIMING Timing System The event shall be conducted using the A to B timing system, which is based on the time taken on a special stage and a separate time allowed for a liaison section. All references to time will be in the 24 hour time format, with hours and minutes shown from 0000hours to 2359hours RallySafe Equipment As Primary Timing System RallySafe equipment will be used as the primary timing system; a manual system will be used as a back-up but RallySafe timing will take precedent should there be a discrepancy in times recorded by the two systems Timing Increments Timing increments will be as follows: special stages to the second; liaison sections to the minute Local Time The time shall be based on Central Standard Time (CST). ARTICLE 624 LATE TIME Definition And Determination Of Late Time (1) Late time is the aggregate period of time by which a crew is late at time controls in a Leg, calculated from the beginning of the Leg, but excluding time held in control and any allowable time by the Organisers. (2) Late time will be determined as follows: Special stages: time taken in excess of the target time (refer to Article 602.6) for a stage, expressed to the second; Liaison /Service sections: time taken in excess of the time allowed (refer to Article 602.6) for a section at the rate of 1 minute/minute or part thereof; Late at start of Leg: time in excess of the officially published start order time for a crew at the rate of 1 minute/minute or part thereof Late Time Limit (1) The late time limit will be specified in the road books and will be advised in a Bulletin to be issued prior to the event. (2) Late time not used on a Leg cannot be carried forward to the next Leg. (3) Late time cannot be regained by early arrival at any time control Exceeding Late Time Limit (1) Crews whose accumulated late time exceeds the late time limit at any time control will be deemed to have failed to report to that control, even if they actually reported to it, and will be penalised accordingly (refer to Article 611). (2) If a crew exceeds the late time limit at any time control and is unable to get back within the late time limit within a Leg it will be deemed to have foregone further competition for the Leg. If, through the accumulation of the various section times allowed (liaison Classic Outback Trial 2018 Supplementary Regulations 25

26 sections) and target times (special stages), a crew can arrive at a later time control within its late time limit it can continue (ie: cut and run ) in the Leg and will only be penalised for the controls during the time it was outside its late time limit (eg: there may be a loop which allows the crew to shortcut; or the opportunity to bypass a special stage/s) Late Time Can Be Extended The late time can be increased by the Clerk of the Course at any time if upon an investigation circumstances warrant such an increase. If the late time is extended after the start of a stage/section any penalties incurred by a crew due to this decision may be remitted. ARTICLE 625 ROAD CARDS Issue And Hand In At the start of each Leg each crew will be given a road card on which the times allowed/target times for each section/service park/special stage will be listed. Officials will record times on this road card, which is to be carried to the end of the Leg and handed to the end-of-leg Official, or if not available, to Rally Control/Event Headquarters Crew Responsible For Safekeeping. The crew is solely responsible for the safekeeping of the road card and for checking the accuracy of the entries made on the card by Officials. In a situation where a road card is missing the Organisers will compile one from whatever information is available (eg: control cards). Crews are advised to record arrival and departure times in their road books Road Card Must Be Available The road card must be presented personally by a member of the crew and only an Official is permitted to enter a time on the card in the Officials Use columns. Any unauthorised amendment or change made to a road card may result in the crew receiving a penalty of up to and including exclusion. Crew members may make notes on sections of the card not marked Officials Use Only, or on its reverse side. Road cards may be required from time to time during a Leg to be handed in for scoring purposes Absence Of Entry On Road Card The absence of an entry from any control, or the failure to hand in the road card at any control (time or passage) unless rectified by the Clerk of the Course or his nominee after consideration of the circumstances involved, may result in the application of applicable penalties. ARTICLE 626 START ORDER Change Of Start Order The Clerk of the Course shall have the right to change the travelling order and time interval between vehicles at any time Prologue Start Order The Prologue start order will be issued at Documentation Leg 1 Start Order Vehicles will start Leg 1 in order of the Official starting list, which will be determined by the Organisers and no protest shall lie against the Organiser s decision. The Leg 1 starting order, with starting times, will be posted on the Official notice board at 1800 hours on Saturday 18 August First Special Stage Start Order The first special stage starting order, if different to Article 607.3, will be posted on the Official notice board at 1800 hours Saturday 18 August Determining Start Order In Subsequent Legs The start order will be based on a computer calculated co-efficient, similar to the system used for the Australian Rally Championship. A Stage Performance Index (SPI) is calculated for each crew. The SPI is determined by dividing the fastest stage times by a crew s times and the value will always be less than 1. Note that the SPI for the fastest crew will be 1. An Event Performance Index (EPI) is calculated for each crew. The EPI will be best two thirds of the crews SPIs, with the worst third of a crew s SPI discounted this removes the likelihood of an unrepresentative time where a crew may have been held up by dust, had a puncture or some mechanical problem with the vehicle which caused it not to perform to its peak performance, thus giving a truer indication of a crew s typical speed. Seeding is based on speed not on ability to nurse a slow vehicle through a stage. The start order for Leg Two will be based on the EPI calculated on Leg One s performances; thereafter each Leg s start order will be based on the EPI calculated on the accumulated performances to the end of the previous Leg. Classic Outback Trial 2018 Supplementary Regulations 26

27 Notwithstanding the above, any crew which has missed at least one stage (refer to Article 611.2) shall not be placed in the starting order before the sixth placed crew which has not missed a stage Tie For Start Order Position In the event of a tie for a start order position the start order for those crews shall be based on the last published start order. ARTICLE 627 START OF COMPETITION / START OF SUBSEQUENT LEGS / FINISH OF LEGS / FINISH OF EVENT Start Of Competition The start of the competition shall be on Sunday 19 August at the Alice Springs Convention Centre and crews will be required to be at a pre-start staging area, at a location and time to be advised in a Bulletin Start Of Subsequent Legs (Legs 2 To 7) The start location of subsequent Legs will be at the Alice Springs Convention Centre. The report time for each crew (which will be 30 minutes before their scheduled start time) will be posted on the Official notice board the prior night (in conjunction with the start order). As a Bulletin will be issued each Leg it is the responsibility of crews, upon arrival at the start location, to collect a Bulletin being issued (refer to SR109.3) Late Arrival For Start Of Leg Late arrival of a vehicle/crew at the start of a Leg will result in the vehicle starting in a position as determined by the start Officials Finish Of Legs 1 To 6 The finish of each Leg s competition will be at the Alice Springs Convention Centre Finish Of Event (Leg 7) The finish of the event will be at the Alice Springs Convention Centre at approximately 1300 hours on Saturday 25 August. As soon as each crew arrives at the final control of the event the vehicle is to be placed in an impound and parked there until released by the Clerk of the Course. Details will be advised in the road book. ARTICLE 628 CONTROLS TYPES / IDENTIFICATION Controls will be identified by standardised sign boards: (1) Time Control a yellow clock board will indicate the start of the control area at the end of a liaison section; the actual book-in point at the end of the liaison section will be indicated by a red clock board 25m after the yellow clock board. (2) Start Control - indicated by a red furled flag board and this will signify the start line for the special stage. (3) Finish Control ( Flying Finish ) - a black chequered flag with yellow background board will be located between 50m and 150m prior to the flying finish as a warning. A black chequered flag with red background board will signify the flying finish. (4) Stop Point - a black STOP on a red background board will signify the book-in location at the end of a special stage/start of a liaison section. Time Control/Start Control 25m 25m Flying Finish/Stop Point 75m to 150m 100 to 300m ARTICLE 629 CONTROL PROCEDURES Time Control At Start Of Leg The start time from the time control at the start of the Leg will be noted by Officials on the road card Time Controls At The End Of A Liaison Section Followed By A Special Stage (A) Check-in (1) At time controls the Official will record on the road card the time at which the card was handed in to the Official, with the crew and vehicle present in the control zone; it is not necessary for a crew member to get out of the vehicle to present the card to an Official; Classic Outback Trial 2018 Supplementary Regulations 27

28 (2) The check-in procedure will be: the procedure begins the moment the vehicle passes the time control boundary (yellow clock board); the actual timing and entry of the time on the road card can only be carried out if the two crew members and the vehicle are in the control zone and within the immediate vicinity of the control table; the check-in time shall be the minute at which a crew member hands the road card to the Official, who will note on the road card the actual time at which the road card was handed in, not a nominated time that may be stated by the crew member; the target check-in time is the time obtained by adding the time allowed to complete a liaison section to the start time for this section, the time being expressed as hours and minutes; and this time is calculated by the competing crew; The crew will not incur any penalty for checking-in early if the vehicle enters the control zone during the target check-in minute or the minute preceding it, as long as the actual check-in takes place on the correct minute. Example: A crew which is due to check-in at 14:58 shall be considered on time if the check-in takes place between 14:58:00 and 14:58:59; the vehicle may be driven into the control area after 14:57:00. At time controls at the end of a Leg crews may check-in before their due check-in time without penalty; Any difference between the actual check-in time and the due check-in time shall be penalised as follows: o for late arrival five seconds per minute or part thereof; o for early arrival one minute per minute or part thereof; o for late time calculations - late time will accrue at the rate of one minute per minute late or part thereof; there is no credit for being early; The crew will be issued with a provisional start time, this time being noted on the road card and recorded in the RallySafe unit; The crew is then to drive forward to the start line of the special stage, or when directed by an Official to do so. There must be a three-minute gap between the check-in time and the provisional start time to allow the crew to prepare for the start. In the event of a late arrival at the start line through the fault of the crew, the Official will advise a new start time, and the penalty shall be one minute per minute or part thereof variance between the two times. (B) Starting a stage (6) The crew is to be wearing the following by the time the vehicle is due to start: frontal head restraints; safety helmets; appropriate apparel; safety belts; appropriate colour wristband, unless accidently removed (this must be a green or yellow wristband for a driver). Failure to wear the appropriate apparel throughout a special stage will render a crew to a penalty of up to and including exclusion. (7) The vehicle shall start into the stage after a countdown as shown on the RallySafe unit. Note: If a RallySafe unit is not used, the start procedure by Officials will be: a countdown of 30, 20, 10 seconds and then... at five seconds to go the Official will count down the time 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO. (8) If a vehicle fails to leave the start line after the start time within 20 seconds of GO it will be pushed forward out of the control area and no restart time will be given. (9) Should there be a difference between the provisional and actual starting times on the road card the actual starting time will apply. (10) If a vehicle starts prior to GO the driver will be considered to have jumped the start and will be reported to the Clerk of the Course who may apply a penalty of first offence 1 minute; second offence 2 minutes; third offence 3 minutes. Further offences may incur a penalty of up to and including exclusion. (11) If a driver refuses to start when told to do so by the Official a penalty of 10 minutes will be applied by the Clerk of the Course and further infringements may result in a further penalty of up to and including exclusion, upon a hearing of the Stewards Time Control At End Of Special Stage (1) All special stages will end with a flying finish and timing will be recorded as the vehicle crosses the flying finish line, and the vehicle is to stop at the time control ( Stop Point ). (2) The flying finish time will automatically be recorded by the RallySafe unit, and relayed to the stop point Officials who will note the time on the road card; this time will be recorded in hours, minutes and seconds. Note: Officials at the stop point will carry out line of sight timing in case of equipment malfunction. (3) The start time for the next liaison section will be the flying finish time rounded to the next minute. Example: A crew which recorded a flying finish time of 14:58:34 will be deemed to have started the next liaison section at 14:59. (4) Drivers are to immediately slow down once the flying finish line has been reached and must not stop between this line and the stop point. Any driver reported by Officials as arriving too fast into the time control at the end of a special stage (ie: the stop point), or stopping between the two locations, may be subject to a penalty of up to and including exclusion Time Control At End Of Leg On arrival at the time control at the end of the last liaison section of the Leg crews may enter the control early and nominate their due time of arrival, which Officials will record on the road card. Classic Outback Trial 2018 Supplementary Regulations 28

29 629.5 Judge Of Fact At Controls An Official at a control will be a Judge of Fact with respect to offences listed in Article Working On A Vehicle In Control Servicing of vehicles in the control area at the start of a special stage (ie: between the yellow board and the red furled flag board, which is considered to be a Parc Ferme) is forbidden, except for cleaning of glass. Any crew who breaches this regulation may incur a penalty of up to and including exclusion. Notwithstanding, in the case of a puncture a wheel may be changed, and the crew allocated a maximum of five minutes extra. The Official in charge shall be the final arbitrator on the puncture issue Unmanned Control Location Crews arriving at a control location that is not manned are required to continue according to the road book. For the purpose of determining the time of arrival at the next time control the departure time from the previous manned control added to the times allowed/target times for the sections/stages will be deemed to be the due arrival time. ARTICLE 630 CONTROLS / PENALTIES Time Control (Not Associated With A Special Stage) A crew that fails to report to a time control within the late time limit, or exceeds the late time limit at a time control, will be deemed to have missed the control and be penalised 20 minutes. This penalty will be applied as follows: at the start of a liaison section; at the end of a liaison section. (Note: this means that if a liaison section is missed, a crew will be penalised 20 minutes for missing the start control and 20 minutes for missing the end control.) Time Control (At The Start And Finish Of A Special Stage) (1) A crew who fails to report at the start line, or a stop point, or exceeds the late time limit at such a time control, will be deemed to have missed the control and penalised one missed special stage plus the target time (refer to Article (2)) for the special stage. (2) No crew can be considered to be higher in the results than another crew if that crew has not missed as many stages, irrespective of time penalties. For example: Place Vehicle No. Time Penalty Special Stage hh/mm/ss 1 3-6:23: :34: :23: :34: :54: :49:02 ARTICLE 631 PROCEDURES FOR SPECIAL STAGES Starting Gap Vehicles are to start special stages at a minimum of two minutes. If this time gap is changed this will be advised in the road book, or by a Bulletin (if possible), or in writing (on an information board) by an Official at the start of the special stage. Any crew considered by an Official to be deliberately delaying its start (eg: crew member fiddling with adjustment of frontal head restraint, seat belt or helmet, etc) to gain a wider gap for a dust advantage will be reported to the Clerk of the Course who may apply a penalty of: 1 minute for a stage up to 10 kilometres; 2 minutes for a stage over 10 and up to 20 kilometres; 3 minutes for a stage over 20 and up to 30 kilometres; 4 minutes for a stage over 30 and up to 40 kilometres; 5 minutes for a stage over 40 kilometres Travelling In Opposite Direction Crews are forbidden to drive in the opposite direction of travel to that specified on a special stage, and shall be subject to penalties of up to and including exclusion if they do Assistance In A Special Stage (1) Assistance between competing crews is permitted at any time: if the route is completely blocked by a vehicle obstructing the defined roadway (ie: due to a vehicle having crashed, suffered a breakdown or becoming bogged, etc) the following crew/s may assist to remove the obstructing vehicle but time compensation will not be granted by the Organisers for doing so; alternatively, crews may leave the defined roadway to get around the obstruction; in such a case if a vehicle subsequently becomes bogged no time compensation will be granted by the Organisers; Classic Outback Trial 2018 Supplementary Regulations 29

30 in such circumstances as above the special stage shall not be cancelled by the Clerk of the Course, even if a crew/s exceed the late time limit; (2) Assistance by service crews is forbidden on a special stage until after the passage of the Organiser s sweep vehicle. (3) If a salvage vehicle is engaged by the Organisers to clear the roadway and no time can be claimed by the action of the salvage crew assisting a crew. However, if crew arrives at an obstruction and is delayed through the failure of the salvage vehicle to clear the roadway, the crew may be signed in and out by the salvage crew and will not be debited with lost time for the delay Interruption To Special Stage (1) Notwithstanding Article when a special stage has been interrupted such that crews cannot proceed (ie: the defined roadway is impassable and crews cannot bypass the interruption even by leaving the defined roadway), the stage may be cancelled by the Clerk of the Course and a classification for the stage established by allocating to each crew a time that is commensurate with their average position in the field based on the latest data. (2) This classification is valid even if only one crew has been able to complete the special stage in normal conditions. (3) However, no crew which is totally or partially responsible for stopping a stage may benefit from this measure. It will be given the time which it might have eventually set if this is greater than the time awarded to the other crews Overtaking (1) Signal to overtake - any crew intending to overtake another moving car must press the relevant button on the RallySafe unit. The crew to be overtaken will receive a message that another crew wishes to overtake and must then allow this crew to pass at the first safe opportunity. In the event of a RallySafe unit failing the signal for requesting the right to overtake will be the sounding of the horn and/or the flashing of the vehicle s headlamps. (2) Overtaking vehicle has right of way - the overtaking vehicle has absolute right of way. Should a crew indicate a desire to overtake, the overtaken crew must allow the overtaking vehicle to pass as soon as it is safe to do so and, if necessary, slowing substantially, or even stopping. (3) Reporting of failure to allow overtaking - should an overtaken driver not permit an overtaking vehicle to pass within a reasonable period of time, the overtaken driver may be reported to the Clerk of the Course. Such a report must be lodged in writing within two hours of the claimant s actual time of booking in at the final control at the end of the relevant Leg. Failure to lodge the report within this time may result in the report being rejected. The offender will be cautioned by the Clerk of the Course. (4) Three reports leads to a penalty - three reports received during the event by the Clerk of the Course on the failure of a crew to permit overtaking within a reasonable time may lead to the crew involved being subjected to a penalty of up to and including exclusion Towing/Pushing (1) Vehicles can be brought back onto the special stage - it is forbidden, under pain of penalty, to tow or liaison a vehicle, or to have it pushed, except to bring it back on to the road, or to clear the road. 200 metres is considered an acceptable distance without penalty. (2) Towing into start of a special stage - a vehicle is not to start into a special stage under towing conditions, under pain of exclusion for both the towed and towing vehicle crews. (3) Towing on special stage - competing vehicles may be towed by another competing vehicle in a special stage and out of it. If a vehicle is towed into a finish control, a time will not be given to the crew of the towed vehicle; if a vehicle is towed or pushed beyond the meaning of Article (1), the crew will be penalised missed one special stage. (4) Pushing a vehicle into control - if a vehicle is pushed into the start of a special stage (ie: it is not under its own motive power) the crew will be penalised missed one special stage. However, if a vehicle cannot be restarted by the starter motor once it is at a start line, it may be push-started after the start time into the stage (refer to Article (9)). ARTICLE 632 SERVICING Service Crew Registration (1) Service vehicles and crews must be registered with the Organisers and must complete and sign the appropriate Service Crew Registration Form and the CAMS Disclaimer Form. Service crew members under 18 years of age must have approval of a parental/guardian, who must sign such approval on the CAMS Disclaimer Form. (2) One service crew registration is included in the entry fee and entitles the crew to one set of service crew instructions, which will provide the instructions to be followed by service crews. Additional registrations can be made at $50 per registration. Registered service crew members will be covered under the event s personal accident insurance scheme, obtained through CAMS. (3) At Documentation crews will be issued with personal identification for service crew members, and service vehicle identification which must be placed on the vehicle and maintained at all times throughout the event Service Crews Not Permitted To Enter A Special Stage Service crews are not permitted to enter a special stage to provide assistance to a competing crew without the authority of the Organisers. This authority can be issued by the Deputy/Assistant Clerks of the Course, the senior Sweep Official, the Official in charge of the start/finish of a special stage or Rally Control. Under NO circumstances is a service crew to enter a special stage before the passage of the Sweep Vehicle and must be aware of the possibility of an oncoming competing crew which may have stopped and started again to drive out of the stage, or a Recovery Vehicle towing a vehicle in the opposite direction to rally traffic. Classic Outback Trial 2018 Supplementary Regulations 30

31 613.3 Servicing/Rendezvous Points (1) Crew members may work on any competing vehicle at any location, except where prohibited by these Regulations (eg: in a control area) or as specified in the road book. (2) Service crews may work on any competing vehicle at any time except where prohibited in these Regulations, and/or the road book and/or service crew instructions; if there is a discrepancy between these instructions and those listed in the road book the latter takes precedence and obeying instructions is the competing crew s responsibility. If any servicing is carried out on a vehicle in an area where servicing is not permitted the crew of the competing vehicle may be liable to any penalty of up to and including exclusion. (3) Provision will be made in the road books for designated service parks and a time allowed for servicing will be specified. (4) At locations where service crews may meet competing crews the service crew instructions will refer to these as Service Points or Rendezvous Points : Service Points will be locations where servicing of a vehicle can be carried out and a service time has been included in the time allowed for that section; Rendezvous Points are optional locations where a service crew may meet a competing crew, and servicing may be carried out, but no time has been included in the time allowed for that section Service Crew Adverse Traffic Actions (1) Service crews must comply with the relevant traffic Regulations. (2) If speeding is reported to the Clerk of the Course the following will apply: detection of speeding must be carried out in a manner acceptable to the Stewards: detection of speeding reported by the Police will be accepted as a fact; the service crew are to be given the opportunity to first offer an explanation to the Stewards; penalties applicable for service crews detected speeding during an event are as outlined at Article 4.4 (g) in the National Rally Code: o first offence: $200 fine; o second offence: $500 fine; o third and subsequent offences: $1000 fine each case. (3) Competing crews are liable to be penalised for the following actions by service crews, if reported to the Clerk of the Course, the penalty being at the discretion of the Stewards: a service crew member not obeying a reasonable request of an Official; a service crew member acting in a manner considered by the Clerk of the Course to be prejudicial to the interest of the sport; where penalties are imposed the competitor of the competing vehicle or his/her agent will be responsible to ensure that any financial penalty that may be imposed is paid to the Stewards by the end of the Leg after which the Stewards imposed the penalty. Unless satisfactory arrangements are made with the Stewards, failure to pay the penalties renders the competing crew liable to exclusion. Where a service crew is registered for more than one competing vehicle, all crews of such vehicles are jointly and severally liable for payment of penalties in the event of default. ARTICLE 633 PROCEDURES AT REGROUPS Regroups may be set up along the route and their entry and exit controls shall be subject to the general rules governing time controls at the start and end of a liaison section. The purpose of the regroup is to reinstate regular intervals between crews, which may have increased as a result of late running and/or retirements (ie: to close up the field). The duration at the regroup may vary from crew to crew: on arrival at a regroup control, crews will be advised of their starting time and they must hand in their road card, then immediately drive the vehicle to a regroup; the starting order from a regroup shall be the order of arrival; late arrival at a regroup departure control will be penalised at the rate of five seconds per minute or part thereof and late time penalties of one minute per minute or part thereof shall also apply; servicing and refuelling, as well as service vehicles will not be permitted in the regroup area, unless otherwise stated in the road book or as advised by Officials at the arrival control to the regroup. ARTICLE 634 PARC FERME No Parcs Ferme will apply, other than when in a control area, and crews will be free to take their vehicle wherever they wish upon arrival at the overnight stop. Should there be a change, this will be advised in a Bulletin. ARTICLE 635 TRAFFIC REGULATIONS OFFENCES Judges Of Fact The Organisers will appoint Judges of Fact (refer to Article 114) to observe competing and service vehicle crews and report to the Clerk of the Course on speeding, noise, irresponsible driving, hooning (including donuts ) etc and penalties may be imposed for breaches of road traffic Regulations.

32 635.2 Speeding On Liaison Sections (1) Drivers of competing vehicles must observe the applicable legal speed limits. Any driver who fails to comply with the limits, including those posted for roadworks, and is reported to the Clerk of the Course may be subject to penalties as outlined in the National Rally Code: for offences up to 30 km/h above the relevant limit: o first offence: $200 fine; o second offence: five minute penalty; o third offence: exclusion. for offences greater than 30 km/h above the relevant speed limit: o first offence: $200 fine plus five minute penalty; o second offence: exclusion. The number of offences means the number detected during the event, irrespective of speed. (2) The offending driver will be subject to any further penalty administered by the Northern Territory Police Infringement Of Traffic Laws Other Than Speeding Competing and service crew members infringing traffic laws other than speeding will be subject to penalties administered by the Northern Territory Police.

If a vehicle is towed (or pushed, in other words it is not under its own motive power) into a control a time will not be recorded for the towed vehicle, and the crew will be deemed to have missed the control. (2) Instances of dangerous or reckless high speed towing will not be acceptable to the Organisers and, if reported, may subject the crews of the towed and towing vehicles to a penalty of up to and including exclusion. ARTICLE 636 ACCIDENTS Crews To Report Accidents Crews are required to report any accident involving a member of the public, injury to a crew member, Official or spectator, and any damage to a competing vehicle or private/public property. Such reports are to be made in writing and lodged at the event headquarters no later than two hours after the involved crews actual time of booking in at the end of the Leg in which the incident occurred. Reports are required from all crews involved, including those who stopped to assist Accident Advisory Signs And Safety Triangles Accident advisory signs (refer to Article ) and safety triangles (refer to Article 302.4) are to be carried in the vehicle at all times Procedure To Be Followed By Crews At An Accident/Incident RallySafe Unit - Crew members must familiarise themselves with the use of the RallySafe unit by reference to the Quick Reference Manual which is available at the RallySafe website via the event s website. At an accident/incident the RallySafe unit is to be operated as per the RallySafe manual, and the following actions taken by crews: Scenario 1: No Assistance Is Required - Vehicle Off The Road And Is Not A Hazard RallySafe Procedure: Should a crew have a problem and stop on a stage (mechanical or emergency) the unit screen will change to show a HAZARD. If the vehicle is stopped for any reason and the crew is OK but the vehicle is NOT in a safe location, do not press any buttons, the unit will continue to transmit the "Hazard" message. If the vehicle is in a safe location and the crew is leaving the vehicle to show the "OK" board, press the "OK" button prior to exiting the vehicle. If continuing, when safe to do so, resume competition speed and screen will automatically revert back to "On Stage". Action by Crews If the vehicle is stopped for any reason (including breakdown) the crew of the vehicle involved in the incident is to: put out the safety triangles at approximately 100m and 50m prior to the vehicle (if only one triangle put at 100m); display the OK sign to following vehicles; if the vehicle is well off the road place the OK sign on a fence, tree, etc near the roadway so it is easily seen by oncoming crews; following crews are NOT REQUIRED TO STOP; the first two crews past the incident location are to report OK to the stop point Officials. Scenario 2: Medical Assistance Is Required And / Or Vehicle Stopped And Is A Serious Hazard RallySafe Procedure: If IMMEDIATE medical aid is required the crew is to press the "SOS" button, then continue with the procedure below. Classic Outback Trial 2018 Supplementary Regulations 32

33 The following three vehicles are to stop and revert to HAZARD, as described in Scenario 1 above. Action by Crews: the stopped vehicle crew is to put out the safety triangles at approximately 100m and 50m prior to the vehicle (if only one triangle put at 100m); the stopped vehicle crew is to display the SOS sign to oncoming crews; o the first three crews are to stop: the FIRST crew is to stay at the incident until the MIV arrives and the crew gives the all clear to leave; a crew member is to immediately contact the Organisers if possible contact details will be included in the front of the road book; the next TWO crews are to stop and note the vehicle competition number, make and colour and quickly ascertain the seriousness of the situation and then immediately proceed through the stage to the stop point and report the details to the Officials; the following crews must observe the requirement of slowing down past the incident but may continue without stopping at the scene of the incident. Scenario 3: Vehicle Stopped, No Signs On Display, Serious Incident Assumed RallySafe Procedure: The following three vehicles are to stop and revert to HAZARD, as described above in Scenario 1. If IMMEDIATE medical aid is required press your "SOS" button, then continue with the procedure below. Action by Crews: the first crew is to stop and put out safety triangles at approximately 100m and 50m prior to the vehicle (if only one triangle put at 100m); the next two crews are to display the SOS sign to oncoming crews; the first three crews are to stop: o the FIRST crew is to stay at the incident until the MIV arrives and the crew gives the all clear to leave; a crew member is to immediately contact the Organisers if possible contact details will be included in the front of the road book; o the next TWO crews are to stop and note the vehicle competition number, make and colour and quickly ascertain the seriousness of the situation and then immediately proceed through the stage to the stop point and report the details to the Officials; the following crews must observe the requirement of slowing down past the accident but may continue without stopping at the scene of the incident Failure To Observe Regulations At An Accident Any crew which fails to observe the above procedure, either by not placing out triangles and not showing the OK/SOS board where physically possible to do so, or not stopping where required to do so, may be liable to a penalty of up to and including exclusion. ARTICLE 637 REFUND OF COMPASSIONATE TIME Approval Of Refund Of Time Any claim of refund of compassionate time for stopping to render assistance at an accident must be lodged with the Clerk of the Course for decision. Any crew who has an accident causing another vehicle to stop to assist will not, under any circumstances, benefit from this situation. Where a crew is prevented from competing on one or more special stages due to assisting with an emergency on a previous stage, the Clerk of the Course may allocate a time for the missed stage/s (refer to Article 618 of these Regulations) Claims By Crews Of Following Three Vehicles All claims by the crews of the three vehicles following a vehicle which has been involved in an accident for a refund of time on compassionate grounds should be lodged in writing with the Clerk of the Course within one hour after arrival at the end of the relevant Leg. Failure to lodge the report within this time may result in the report being rejected Further Claims By Crews Notwithstanding the above allowing claims by the following three crews, claims by other crews for the same accident may be considered by the Clerk of the Course Derived Times When granting claims for the refund of compassion time, the Clerk of the Course may attribute the crew/s involved a time derived using available data from relative performances on other special stages. Note: There often is confusion with regard to the compassionate time allowance regulation. This regulation allows only for time remittance to be considered if a crew stops to assist at an accident where an injury has, or is likely to have occurred. There is no provision for remittance of time for stopping to provide assistance of any other kind, nor for any instances of being held up by dust resulting from the passage of another vehicle, failure of a vehicle to allow overtaking, et al.

34 ARTICLE 638 FOREGOING COMPETITION / WITHDRAWAL FROM THE EVENT Foregoing Competition If a crew foregoes the competition (by missing a time control, exceeding the late time limit at a control and does not cut and run within the Leg) that crew may re-join at the start of a Leg, provided the vehicle has been checked to the satisfaction of the Chief Scrutineer. The crew will start the Leg in a position determined by the Clerk of the Course Withdrawal From The Event (1) Any crew which withdraws from the event, and does not intend to re-join at any future time, is requested to complete the Notification of Withdrawal form located in the road book and hand this to an Official (control, sweep, recovery) or another crew for passing on to the Clerk of the Course at the earliest opportunity. (2) A crew will be deemed to have withdrawn from the event when it does not contact the Clerk of the Course (through a CRO) to advise of its intention as regards further competition by the start of competition the next Leg. (3) Notwithstanding the above, if a crew finds it is in a position to resume competition (eg: vehicle repaired when originally considered this could not be done) there is nothing to stop the crew advising the Clerk of the Course of its intention to re-join at the start of the next appropriate Leg if the Clerk of the Course so approves. The crew will receive appropriate penalties and re-start the Leg in a position determined by the Clerk of the Course. SECTION SEVEN OFFENCES, BREACHES AND PENALTIES If there is any discrepancy between the following text and the text in the main body of the Regulations, the latter shall be considered correct. Penalties for offences and breaches of these Regulations will be applied as follows. If a crew or crew member creates an offence against these Regulations whilst following the specific instructions of an Official of the event, the Clerk of the Course, and where appropriate the Stewards, may decide not to apply the listed penalty. If the Clerk of the Course refers a matter for the ruling of the Stewards, or upon the results of a deliberation of the Stewards on a protest, then the crew and organiser has the right to lodge an appeal against the decision of the Stewards to a CAMS Appeal Tribunal, which will not hear the appeal until well after the conclusion of the event.
