You will be asked to move SPECTATOR POINT PROHIBITED AREA RESIDENTS AREA Residents Area (Stand behind) Spectator Point (Stand inside mesh) Prohibited Area Rally Australia needs to ensure the safety of drivers and spectators we can only do this if you: Only stand in authorised areas which are marked with either: Event Imaged Mesh or Black/Yellow Tape. Standing in any other area is not permitted and you will be asked to move failure to comply may result in the cancellation of the special stage! Please do not spoil everybody else s enjoyment! Be patient! There may be queues of traffic as you travel to & from spectator points so give yourself plenty of time to arrive at your destination. Please follow the directions of Event Officials, Police and Traffic Management crews. At spectator points be polite and patient when queuing for food and drink. Public amenities will be provided at all spectator points. Do not try to find your own way around on roads in areas near the special stages. Not only is there a danger of meeting up with an oncoming rally vehicle, but many of these roads maybe potentially hazardous and not suitable for vehicles. The main spectator route has been surveyed and is safe, so please only use these roads. Do the Right Thing: Please take all rubbish you bring into an area out with you on your departure. Rubbish does not help beautify our forests. Leave your pets at home. Specially trained service animals are allowed, but be prepared to provide documentary evidence of their role. We want you and them to have a safe and satisfying experience. The Kennards Hire Rally Australia is a Smoke Free Event. Please do not light fires or smoke in the forest. Leave the drone at home. Privately operated drones are prohibited at the event only the Official WRC TV drones are allowed! Don t try and drive like a Rally Driver. Even experienced WRC drivers keep their speed for the special stages. It s hot! Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and while you can bring alcohol to the spectator points, water does a much better job of keeping you healthy and alert. Enjoy the spectacle that the best rally drivers in the world are putting on for you. Remember, when you see the 0 car, it s time to get your camera ready, the competition is about to start! Remember that rally cars can do unexpected things so please remain alert at all times, stand only where it is safe and don t forget A CAR AT 120 KM PER HOUR TRAVELS 100 METERS IN 3 SECONDS. No driver can avoid a person at that speed. Avoid the risk so they don t have to try.
