Spectator Stage Safety

Spectator safety is a top priority at all UK rallies, and the Organisers have been working hard to create safe and enjoyable experiences for spectators. There will be dedicated Spectator viewing areas in the Glengap and Dalbeattie stages, with associated parking facilities. 

Before the First Car Due times shown below, various Safety Cars will be driving the stages to make sure everything is set up correctly, and that everyone is in a safe location. The Motorsport UK Safety Delegate will be doing the final check and he must give his authorisation before the Stage can start.

To enable the stage to start and continue to run, please ensure you follow the instructions of the Marshals and Safety Cars, and that you are in location at least 30 minutes before the first car is due to start the stage. Please don’t be the reason everyone’s enjoyment is spoiled.
