Safety

admin — 2016-10-10T14:26:47Z

Rallysport can be dangerous. Competing cars are often running fast on common roads. Therefore the spectators are requried for responsible behaviour to secure their own safety as they are mostly not protected with barriers as on racing circuits. Spectators are watching the rally on their own risk, but it doesn't mean they don't need to respect the safety regulations and arrangements! Rallysport is beautiful sport, but without appropriate security it can easily become a dangerous hazard! Accidents with spectators are the biggest threat of this discipline. You can help with keeping rallysport alive - think of your behaviour before going to the special stage. Don't hesitate to help the Route marshals with undisciplined spectators, who refuse respecting the safety arrangements. The act of an individual is the basement for act of the society - if you do positive action, others will join you. Here are basic rules how to behave at the special stage route when watching the rally cars. Learn these instructions and follow them:

Obey the organizers' instructions. If people are asked by the Route marshals to leave dangerous place on the SS route, they should follow these instructions. In case of indiscipline the special stage will be canceled!

Especially dangerous locations are marked as "PROHIBITED AREA" or "NO GO AREA". Do not try to enter these places, they can be terminally unsafe! Do not stand on "escape roads" as well. Do not cross the safety tape or net and stay behind it!

Keep the distance from the edge of the roadway. Keep in mind the high speed of competing cars. It is impossible to eliminate either the driver's mistake or an unpredictable technical defect of the vehicle.

Don't stay near bumps, crests or jumps located on the roadway. When the car lands off the ground, the driver has only small chance to control it. The car can easily leave the road after landing.

Don't sit by the SS route. Always watch, what's happening on the special stage. Think of quick evacuation of your place, at any time keep prepared an escape way and be prepare for quick reaction.

Avoid places below level of the route. Do not stand on outer sides of curves, in front of houses or other impassable obstacles. In forest do not stand in front of the trees. For watching the competition shoose only places on elevated areas, behind solid obstacles etc.

Cooperate with Organizers and Route marshals, in case of menace of danger organizer must be informed about the current situation. In case of any accident spectators should wait with possible help on organizers' dispositions.

If you take the children to the rally, keep them under careful and constant view. Adults are fully responsible for childrens' safety!
Do not cross the roadway and do not walk on the SS route during special stage! Take the position for watching the rally before start of first rally crews, not during the SS run! Count with time limits - take a look on the Rally guide in advance, when the SS route is giong to be closed before the start and re-opened after the end. Remember that the route SS is not re-opened until the Organizer's vehicle passage!

Avoid driving on access roads upstream of competition vehicles approaching the SS during the rally. Roadways to the special stages are often narrow and racers could be in hurry.
Park your vehicles on reserved parking lots appointed by the police or the organizers. Do not park where you could stand in the way of competing crews, service staff and other participants of public traffic.

Don't stand in front of traffic or directive signs.
Don't damage the environment!
Don't take your pets at the special stage with. Domestic animals must be secured to not to enter the SS route.
Don't throw anything on the route - it could endanger the safety of passing competing crews. This behaviour is also handled in the Criminal Code!

NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS ON RALLY!!!

WHAT IS A RALLY, HOW IT WORKING?

admin — 2012-11-30T14:54:11Z

WHAT IS A RALLY, HOW IT WORKING?

A typical rally consists in several stages, itself divided in special stages, those whose cars have been the fastest on the special stages, those where the speed counts. A rally runs on a known road, and involves a rigorous timing. Each team is given an “itinerary book”, also called “road book”. Teams make previous to the rally “reconnaissance” to detect all the specificities and traps of the road.

During the rally itself, they rely on the road book to follow the directives of the course, and they regularly have to stop at “time control checkpoints”. These checkpoints aim at verifying the presence of the cars at different points of the rally, and that they do follow the expected road. The different teams leave every 3 minutes, so as to avoid the dust from other cars.

They must respect strict timetables between time checkpoints: delays, but also advances, are penalized! In order to do this, the road books are shown by the pilots at the various official checkpoints. The marshals write down the time at which the book was presented, which will help to attest the respect of the indicated planning. After one stage (for instance, after one day) of the competition, the teams will start again in an order defined by acquired scores: the winner will be the one leaving first.

At the technical and mechanical level, before being allowed to take departure, all the cars are strictly controlled and verified by a technical delegate of FIA and a local delegate. They check all security aspects (seats, belts, roll-bars, front and back lights, etc.), as well as conformity aspects. During the rally, service areas are planned after some predefined km. the maintenance team then verify the mechanics of the car, fuel and oil tanks. It is also at these services areas that the pilot may chose the tires that will suit best for the next section of the road.

THE MARSHALLS GAKWAYA RACING TEAM

In 2004 a group of young students from the National University of Rwanda and friends of Gakwaya family established in Huye decide to make a change and form a team of Marshalls. They name Gakwaya Racing Team after the late Jean Claude Gakwaya great pioneer of rally in Rwanda.
From a strong will -which is all they had at the time- to the respected team marshalling at every Rwandan rally today GRT has come a long way. Its ups and downs, its worries to find fresh devoted Marshalls who would believe in what GRT stands for and would want to keep up the torch, through it all the Marshalls team did expand. Each year, recruiting and undertaking training sessions covering Rules, Regulations governing rallies, competitors and official responsibilities and the use of flags and other safety equipment.
Today GRT is as strong as ever, HAVE DOUBTS? Well, come see for yourself! From July 1st to July 3rd 2011 the guys in yellow chasubles will be bringing Huye Rally to life.

Who is a Marshall exactly?

Marshalls are the people who operate rally controls (CH) such as starts, fly finishes, etc… keeping a check-sheet of the cars as they pass. You'll see them running up and down keeping spectators at a reasonable distance from the road and making sure the stage is safe to run. Marshals are usually at a minimum of 3 per post but extra teams are deployed through stages to serve as radio crews. They also look out for cars that may go ‘missing' during a stage, between posts and out of sight or any accident of sorts.
Without these dedicated people, no rally can take place. It is as simple as that! They contribute to the success of the event and the smooth running of the organization. No wonder drivers and navigators keep thanking them in each of their speeches. “…thanks to Marshall's effectiveness and their beautiful smiles” said Ruddy cantanhede after winning The Gakwaya Memorial Rally for the second time in 2007.

Want to be a Marshall?

Marshalling can be a very fun experience as you get the chance to be at the center of the rally where real action takes place. So don't miss out! Inform the chief Marshall, he will allocate you a stage and partner you with an experienced Marshall so you can get an on-site training and have a taste of what it's like to be a GRT Marshall.
Sponsors, Partners and Competitors (not competing for this rally) we encourage you to try Marshalling. VIP tents are not the best place to experience the wonders of such a rally. Plus a little bit of fun will definitely do you good!
