Judges of fact The following are deemed to be judges of fact: the officials named in 6.1 of the GCRs, a CARS director not competing in the event, start line marshalls, and observation control marshalls. The facts they may judge include: arrival time in a control zone, making of a false start to a special stage, speed registered on a radar gun, belts, windows and helmets, illegal service, backing up in control zone.
16. Vehicle advertising Competitors must display on their cars the doors numbers, RDG windshield, CARS door panel, and sponsor decals provided by the organizers.
