29.12.2014

Rules of rally life are described in a document titled "Regulations", and each participant of the race, making the entry fee, undertakes to perform these rules, and in case of violation, he should be ready to be punished.

Regulations were the main subject at the general meeting before the checks. The regulations consist of 78 pages and there is no unimportant information. All the requirements for equipment, safety standards, equipment and behavior, penalties are described there. For example, the unusable wheel thrown on the route will cost to crew 1000 euros as a penalty, and repeated violation will lead to exclusion from the race. Fraud is especially strictly punished: fake of marking seals, route reconnaissance, attempt of fraud with GPS, etc.

Sergey Savostin noted especially important points of regulations for Assistance and sports crews. For Assistance these are issues relating to assist the sports crew. For sports crews - behavior in extreme situations. General - speed limits, compliance with correct behavior, sports discipline.

For the "KAMAZ-master" team observance of regulations - it is a matter of reputation.
