Spectators

Welcome

The safety of everyone that is involved with, participates in or spectates at the rally is our top priority, and so we ask that you read the following and keep it in mind on this and any other rally you may attend.

Please listen to the marshals they are there for your safety and want to ensure that we run the safest rally possible.

If they ask you to move or inform you that you are standing in an unsafe place please follow their instructions. Spectators who are asked to move but refuse to do so are putting their own safety and that of others at risk.

Once the road is closed spectators must not walk on the stage route. Doing so is against the law and could jeopardise the running of the stage.

Each road is closed at the times detailed and will be signified by the passing of the “Road Closed” vehicle.

This car will be identified with large signs on the side of the vehicle and red flashing lights. Spectators will only be permitted to walk or drive on the stage route once the road has officially re-opened. The opening of the road will be signified by the passing of the “Road Open” vehicle. This car will be identified with large signs on the side and red flashing lights.

Spectator Safety

The safety of spectators is important. Ultimately, you are responsible for your own safety. Motorsport is dangerous, and incidents do occur. Please ensure you’re familiar with the safety guidelines as instructed by Motorsport UK and the FIA. When on and around the rally stage, listen to and obey the instructions of marshals. You must NOT enter designated prohibited areas.

Spectator Viewing Areas

The rally organisers have taken a great deal of time to consult and liaise with local landowners and residents to allow for access to these areas. We therefore request all spectators make use of these areas only, and follow the requests of stage marshals to ensure the smooth-running of the event.

Please ensure you do not obstruct or block any access roads, lanes, laybys, driveways or gateways in or around the stages. Failure to leave these areas clear may result in the stage and rally being cancelled.

Finally, please ensure you take away anything you bring onto the stage – including any rubbish.

At all times please remember:

  • Respect the marshals and follow their instructions 
  • Observe the colour coded tape and stand back from any tape, walls and fences 
  • Read and understand any safety signage. If you are not sure please speak to a marshal who will be happy to help.
  • Don’t walk or drive on the rally stage when the roads are closed – between the “Road Closing” and “Road Opening” vehicles with red lights 
  • Remain alert, rally cars can do what you least expect
  • Do not walk beyond the marked spectator area
  • Take all litter and belongings home with you
  • Do not light fires
