This the second event to be run in mainland UK with the stages mainly on closed public roads as a result of new legislation that was enacted last year. The organisers are using a fairly conservative route for the first running with about 75% of the stage mileage on closed roads.

The event has three passes over a four stage loop that starts with three closed road stages and then a visit to Weeton Camp. All stages will have 30 second starts. There is a card collect after every stage. Stage start and finish clocks are fitted with communication boxes to transmit times directly back to HQ and the cars are fitted with RFID tags to trigger automatic recording of times (as a backup to the normal manual timing). First times after SS1 are expected at about 09:10 on Saturday morning.

As always comments on the event and questions for the results team are welcome.
