

The following regulations are to be read in conjunction with the General Regulations.
Any regulation listed below will supersede the General Regulation in all cases of duplication.
CLASSIC - C
C1. General Requirements
Each vehicle will have been manufactured prior to 1986, or be a model/specification which matches that of a vehicle manufactured prior to 1986. Each vehicle
will be divided into one of three modification groups: SS, LMS or MS. The specific requirements for these three modification groups are listed below. Each
vehicle will have an „age‟ category determined by the date of manufacture (except in the case of “run on” models) which is as follows:
Category 2
Category 3
Category 4
1947-1961
1962-1965
1966-1971
Category 5
Category 6
1972-1976
1977-1985
These regulations do not supersede any civil requirements/regulations, and compliance with any such provisions is the responsibility of the competitor. In cases
where production of a model commenced before the cut-off date and continued after that date, vehicles actually manufactured after this date are considered to
be eligible provided they were produced to exactly the same specification as the vehicles built prior to the date. This provision known as “model run-on”
terminates upon a change in vehicle specification having being implemented by the manufacturer. In all cases, the onus of proof in relation to eligibility matters
lies with the competitor.

EARLY MODERN AND MODERN - M
M1. General Requirements
Each vehicle will be divided into one of four modification groups: Standard Specification (SS), Limited Modified Specification (LMS), Modified Specification (MS)
or Production Rally Specification (PR). The specific requirements for these four modification groups are listed below. Due to the ever increasing levels of
performance of modern vehicles, the philosophy of these modern regulations is to allow greater freedoms for vehicles which are demonstrably not as fast as
others in their production form. Only those vehicles which have the level of performance deemed appropriate will be permitted the higher level of modifications
of LMS and MS. However, those vehicles which are permitted in LMS or MS may be built to a lesser level of modification (e.g. SS), and compete in that
category.
M2. Bodywork
Alternative materials are permitted for the following panels provided they are of the exact same external shape as the original panel:

Front mudguards

Nose panel

Boot lid or rear hatch

Bonnet
Original fittings must be retained (e.g. hinges / bonnet locks)
The minimum specifications of alternative materials shall be respected:

Aluminium-1.25mm thick

Fibres/reinforced plastic 3mm thick
M3. Minimum Weight
(a) the minimum weight must be in accordance with the organisers imposed minimum or manufacturers original specifications, provided either by details
obtained from recognition papers, workshop manuals or sales specifications (in that order of priority). This weight will be deemed to include all liquid
tanks to be at the normal operating levels as foreseen by the vehicle manufacturer.
(b) Minimum competition weight for SS will be established by taking the minimum weight as established in (a). For LMS and MS, the minimum
competition weight shall be established by taking the minimum weight as established in (a), less 10%.
(c) For the purposes of confirming weight during the competition, the organisers may refer to the minimum competition weight of the vehicle.
(d) It is recommended that fuel not be used for ballast as there could be miscalculation by the crew which could result in the vehicle being underweight
when measured.
M4. Weighing of Vehicles
If required, the minimum weight will be checked by weighing the vehicle without persons or luggage on board, measured in accordance with M3 of these
regulations. The minimum competition weight must be maintained at all times.
M5. Capacity / Classes SS, LMS & MS
The following capacity classes will be provided:
A

Advertising and other signs are permitted on vehicles provided the location of the sign/s does not conflict with these regulations. Signs are required to be of a
high standard of presentation to ensure that the interests of the organisers, sponsors and entrants are protected.
b) Lettering
Lettering of all signs must be carried out in a neat, regular and professional manner. The organisers may order the re-lettering of any sign or part of sign which,
in their opinion, fails to comply with the requirements of this regulation. The organisers will be the sole judge as to the suitability of any sign, and may direct the
removal of any sign at any time. A crew will be directed to remove any sign considered by the organisers to be offensive.
c) Organisers' Decals
At Documentation the organisers will supply event identification decals and compulsory event sponsor decals. These must be attached to the vehicle as issued
and maintained in good order and condition throughout the event. Where a bonnet protector is used on the vehicle, the decals must also be placed on the
protector. Deliberate removal of the decals from the vehicle during the event will render the entrant liable to a penalty of up to exclusion. The decals will be as
outlined in E3.
d) Commercial Competition
Vehicles may carry signs of sponsors who may be in commercial competition with the sponsors of the event but their placement on the vehicle must not be in
conflict with the organisers‟ requirements outlined in E1c above.

report to the security park 20 minutes before their due time of departure. They are then to report to their vehicle and prepare to leave when instructed to move
forward. The start order for section two of each Leg shall be the order of arrival at the lunch break at the end of section one. A crew which starts section two
before their scheduled time, unless directed to do so by the Clerk of Course or his nominee, will be liable to a penalty of 30 seconds for each 30 seconds or part
therefore leaving early. Late arrival at the restart control will render the crew liable to a penalty of 10 seconds for each minute or part thereof late which will be
included in the crew's late time. Vintage Rallye competitors may move forward if they have fallen back through the field.
8. Crews Forgoing Competition
Should a crew not complete a stage, it is that crew's responsibility to advise a recovery crew, a senior official at the nearest control, or a CRO at the next
overnight stop, or at the Event Headquarters, of their intention regarding future participation in the competition (i.e.: foregoing the remainder of the current leg
but intending to start the following leg; withdrawal or retirement from the competition due to an inability to restart; etc). Failure to notify the organiser in this
manner could result in the organisers deeming that the crew has withdrawn or retired from the competition. In this case, the crew may not be included in the
start order for the following leg and may be denied permission to continue in the competition.
9. Rejoining
If a crew has satisfied the conditions necessary to rejoin the competition (F8 above), having not completed the whole course to date they may do so providing
that they report as follows:
a) To the final time control on the leg in which they did not complete the whole leg, prior to the time of the closure of that control, or
b) To a CRO located at the Event Headquarters, advising their intention no later than 7pm on the leg concerned, or
c) To a CRO located at the overnight security park on a following leg no later than 30 minutes prior to the due time of departure of the
vehicle. In this case the vehicle may start in such position as determined by the Clerk of Course.
10. Withdrawal or Retirement
Any crew which withdraws from the event and does not intend to rejoin at any future time, must complete the „Notification of Withdrawal‟ form supplied with the
Road Book and hand this to a control official, recovery official, or other course officials, or another competitor, for transmission to the organisers.
37
11. Official Clocks
Timing will be by officials clocks issued by the organisers and set to GPS Time. No protest will lie against the alleged inaccuracy of any clock. A clock showing
the official time will be located by the entry/exit door at the Silverdome from Monday 16th April 2012 throughout the entirety of the event.
12. Time Card
Crews will be issued with generic time cards at documentation. Each crew is solely responsible for their time card and recording of information on it. These
time cards are provided for the recording of control report times for personal interest and will not be used by the organisers for scoring.
13. Targa Stages
A competition section between two successive time controls on roads closed for the rally utilising a base time rather than elapsed times as the basis for scoring
closed road stages.
14. Base Times
Refer Addendum B.
15. Trophy Time
Refer Addendum B.
16. Changes to Base Times
a) The Clerk of Course may change a base time for any stage, prior to the first crew starting a Targa stage. Any such change will be
communicated to crews via sms text message where possible or via the start control noticeboard.
17. Direction of Travel
When driving on a Targa stage crews are bound to drive only in the direction prescribed in the road book and are forbidden to drive in the opposite direction.
18. Compassionate Time
Crews are advised that if they are required to stop to assist at an accident (refer to Addendum C), a derived stage time will calculated and applied in response to
losing time for having to stop. (refer to F26) Such claims must be made to a CRO no later that 1 hour after booking in to end of Leg control. It is the crews
responsibility to provide full details of the accident (time arrived, time departed, number of vehicle involved, number of other vehicles stopped at the scene).
19. Motive Power
The penalty for a crew whose vehicle does not travel under the motive power of its engine is 20 minutes per incident.
20. Cutting Corners
Any competitor who is observed by an official, taking a line that results in a complete tyre (front and / or rear) passing beyond the sealed surface will receive a
penalty as follows:
 First Observed Offence: 30 seconds
 Any further offence will be the first offence plus 30 seconds for each subsequent offence
21. Falling Behind the Competition Sweep (999)
a) Competitors who stop in a Targa stage and fall behind the Competition Sweep Vehicle (999) but are within their late time limit may receive
a derived time provided they reach the stop point before the Late Time Sweep Vehicle. The derived time will take into account that the
competitor has stopped prior to the passage of the Competition Sweep and a two minute penalty will be added to that time. A derived
time calculated for any following stages will have five minutes added to the time. To be eligible for this derived time, the crew must report
to the end of the section. If a vehicle is unable to reach the finish control of the stage they have stopped in, or any following control, under
its own motive power, a derived time will not be calculated from that point on.
b) Competitors who arrive at the start of a particular stage after the Competition Sweep Vehicle (999) has left the start line will not be able to
contest the Targa stage. Provided the crew is within its late time limit at the start control of the stage a derived time may be issued and five
minutes will be added to that time.
c) Competitors who arrive at the start of a particular stage after the Late Time Sweep Vehicle has left the start line will not be able to contest
the Targa Stage and will be deemed to be out of late time and the normal penalties will apply.
22. Stage Starts
a) The start of a competition vehicle may only be delayed in relation to the scheduled starting time by the appropriate official.
b) A false start, particularly one made before the electronic start or official has given the signal, shall be penalised by 1 minute.
c) If, through the fault of the crew, a crew does not move into the start area when summoned to do so by the official a penalty of 1 minute per
every 30 seconds they delay the start will be applied.
d) Competitors are to start a Targa stage in the order that they arrive at the time control. Competitors are not to start out of order unless
instructed to do so by the line up officials or Stage Director. Failure to comply: 1 minute penalty. The Stage Director and line up officials
will be deemed to be judges of fact. Vintage Rallye competitors are allowed to move up the queue.
23. Stage Finish
Targa stage will end at the flying finish, stopping between the yellow warning sign and the stop sign is forbidden and may result in a penalty up to exclusion.
24. Interruption of a Targa Stage
When a Targa stage has to be definitively stopped for any reason whatsoever before the last crew has covered it, a classification for the stage may
be established by allocating to each crew which was unable to complete the stage because of the interruption, a derived time (refer to F26)
However, no crew which is totally or partially responsible for stopping a stage may benefit from this measure.‟
25. Safety Procedures
a) Flags/Lights
i. The display of a white flag at the start or SOS Point means that a first intervention, rescue or ambulance vehicle is on the Targa stage.
ii. When a yellow/orange light is displayed prior to the scene of an incident competitors are required to slow down immediately to
38
60km/h, and proceed past the incident. Once past the incident, competitors may resume at „competition speed‟. No overtaking is
permitted in the area between the flashing light and the incident. Competitors observed not complying with this regulation will be
charged and brought before the Clerk of Course who may impose a penalty up to exclusion.
iii. When a red flashing light is displayed at a SOS Point drivers are to acknowledge to officials (by nod of head or wave of hand) that
they have seen the flashing red light, and are required to slow down immediately, and stop when it is safe to pull off the road.
iv. When safety triangles are displayed it is the following competitor‟s responsibility to reduce their speed until they are past the incident
for which the triangles have been displayed. Failure to do so will result in a penalty being applied by the Clerk of Course. Failure to
remove triangles after an incident has been cleared will result in the offending competitor being penalised by the Clerk of Course.
b) Sweep Vehicles
i. The last vehicle in each stage will be followed from the start by a Competition Sweep (999) vehicle which indicates that competition on
the Targa stage has ceased.
ii. The horn of the Competition Sweep (999) will be sounded 3 times at cars stopped in the stage to indicate the Competition Sweep‟s
passage. Thereafter, vehicles other than the First Intervention Vehicle are prohibited from driving on to, or along the stage until after
the passage of the Police Sweep vehicle.
iii. The Police Sweep will leave the control after the Competition Sweep (999) at a time to be determined by the organisers.
iv. Competitors who move after the passage of the Police Sweep must abide by all road regulations for that road, including speed limits,
and may not under any circumstances over take the Police Sweep.
v. Any penalty for breach of this regulation (F27b) will be determined by the Clerk of Course, and may include exclusion from the event.
26. Derived Time
Time awarded by the Clerk of Course to a crew which has been prevented from contesting or completing a Targa Stage. The derived time may be based on the
crew‟s performance on the previous stage less two positions to encourage vehicles to stop at incidents when required. Elapsed times are used in the
calculations. The derived time is calculated using 50/50 split between the car in front and the car behind. The exception to this ruling is when a vehicle is the
fastest, the two proceeding vehicles will be used to derive this time.
27. Late Time Limits
The late time limit for each section (i.e. start of the leg to the meal break; then from the meal break to end of the leg) will be:
 Early Classic (Cat 2 to 3): 60 minutes
 Late Classic (Cat 4 to 6): 30 minutes
 All Modern (Cat 7 to 9): 15 minutes
28. Change of Limit
The late time limit may be increased by the Clerk of Course at any time if the circumstances warrant such an increase. If changed after the start of a section,
competitors will be notified via sms text message where possible or via the start control noticeboard.
29. Late Time Penalty
Crews whose accumulated late time exceeds their limit at any time control will be deemed to have failed to report to that control, even if they have actually
reported to that control, and will be penalised 20 minutes for each section that the late time limit has been exceeded (Maximum 40 minutes per day).
30. Overtaking

Signal
The signal advising the need to overtake will be the sounding of the vehicle horn and/or the flashing of headlamps.

Right of Way

by moving to the left side of the roadway and, if necessary, slow or stop. The overtaking vehicle may pass only on the right side of the overtaken vehicle.

Failure to Permit Overtaking
Should the driver of a vehicle being overtaken not permit or hinder the overtaking vehicle at all and the overtaking driver reports such a breach to the organisers,
the organisers will view any evidence provided and the Clerk of Course will impose the following penalty, which will be final:
 First offence for failure to permit overtaking
30 Seconds
 Second offence for failure to permit overtaking
2 minute penalty
 Third offence for failure to permit overtaking
Exclusion
Overtaking complaints must be lodged with a Competitor Relations Officer at event headquarters within 30 minutes of the claimant's actual time of booking in at
the end of the leg. Under no circumstances will a derived time be issued to the overtaking car and requests for derived times under these circumstances will not
be accepted.
31. Controls
a) Time
i. A time control is a start control of any touring stage, a finish control of any touring stage, the start line of any Targa stage or the stop

ADDENDUM B
LATE TIME / BASE TIME / TIME ALLOWED – AN EXPLANATION
1. LATE TIME
Time in excess of the defined touring time is Late Time and crews have a Late Time Limit (set for each Section) in which to complete the competition. Once a
crew has exceeded the Late Time Limit for a Section, it is deemed to have missed controls (even though the crew may have passed through them) and is
penalised accordingly. Late Time Limits are listed in the Supplementary Regulations at F27.
2. BASE TIMES
The base time is the target time set for a crew to complete a Targa stage without incurring a time penalty. Time achieved under the base time does not count,
and no advantage is gained by being under this time.
a) Classic Outright, Early Modern, Modern, Rookie Rallye Modern, Showroom and 4WD Showroom Competitions
All vehicles have the same base time (and is called the Standard Base Time) irrespective of category and class.
b) Early Classic, Late Classic Competitions, Rookie Rallye Classic and the Classic Legends Competiton
Base times are set for each class, with the time applying to all crews in a given class. The base time is determined by adding the Handicap
Table to the Standard Base Time.
The base times are determined by applying the Handicap Table for each class. The Handicap Table is expressed in seconds per minute, and is added to the
Standard Base Time to give the base time for a given class. The handicap is calculated by applying a factor to each age (category), degree of modification
(specification), and power (engine capacity). eg: Class 4SSB has a Handicap of 11.5 (seconds per minute). The Standard Base Time for a stage is 5 minutes;
therefore the Index for Class 4SSB is determined as follows:



The Index = Standard Base Time x Handicap
o = 5 min x 11.5 sec
o = 58 sec (rounded up)
The stage base time for a vehicle in Class 4SSB = the Standard Base Time + the handicap
o = 5 min + 58 sec
o = 5 min 58 sec
This is the time that is deducted off the crew‟s elapsed time (assume this was 7 min 34 sec) to give the penalty time:
o = 7 min 34 sec – 5 min 58 sec
o = 1min 36 sec
The crew with the least penalty time is the winner of the various classifications (refer to H1). Other penalties, if incurred, are to be added to the penalty time.
The calculated base times (the Index) will be listed in the road book for each Targa stage, thus crew members will not have to carry out their own calculations.
3. TIME ALLOWED
'Time Allowed' is the time listed in the road book to complete a touring stage. If this time is exceeded there is no penalty, but the time in excess of the allowed
time counts towards late time.
