entered with a World Rally car.
Such cars shall:
- Contain no more than 2 persons.
- Comply with the requirements for reconnaissance cars as in Art. 25.1.
- Carry any required FIA signage on each front door including ‘Safe Drive’ logos.
- Operate the speed control device as used during reconnaissance.
- Respect the speed limit for the special stages which will be announced by the clerk of the course.
2016 FIA World Rally Championship Sporting Regulations
Application from: 01/01/2016 18/100
Published on: 09/12/2015
- Operate within a schedule issued by the organisers and run under the authority of the clerk of the course.
- Respect the list of route note exchange points which may be issued by the clerk of the course.
- Cover no more than one passage of each special stage.
- In no way interfere with the schedule of the rally.
- Be used only for their allocated World Rally Car driver and withdrawn if this driver retires from the event.
If not the RNC crew, then one team member per competitor may be present in the RNEP for the sole
purpose of handing over the notes to the respective crew(s).
11.5.2 The rally organisation may also run its own route note car to provide advisory route notes for the
other competitor.
Edit: now I saw Pluto's answer so as I understand it it's a FIA decision for RMC.

Oh, I know that he has a gravel crew on Monte. That's exactly my point, that every competitor has had a gravel crew on Monte and the regulations are saying that only WRC crews can have a route note car creating some controversy. But as explained by Pluto it seems it was a decision from FIA to allow everybody a gravel crew just for RMC. Cheers!Quote:
