Colman Tyres Rally 27/28 th August 2016 Supplementary Regulations 2015 Event winners: Dan Willan / Martyn Taylor Credit: Chris Ellison Photo
Foreword The Colman Tyres returned to the Road Rally calendar in 2015, after a long sabbatical since the end of the Motor Sport News Championship. Following on from the success of the rejuvenated event and competitor feedback we will again be organising a challenging evenings sport on maps 98, 99 and 104, aiming to build on the success of last year s event. Please note the start venue is a different rugby club in Otley this year, enabling us to have a bit more of our own space. Also new for this year are several sections taking place on Military ground in North Yorkshire, which we are sure will be enjoyable for both drivers and navigators alike. This means there will be around 25 miles of loose surface used on the event, all of which we have driven in a standard road car. Alongside this there will be a 150 miles route through classic Colman country for you to get your teeth into. We look forward to welcoming you to Otley on 27/ 28th August 2016. The Organisers

Any competitor who falls outside these parameters may be offered cover at equivalent terms or an agreed price, if approval from REIS has been obtained by the event organisers, prior to the event. Additional cover provided by this scheme is only effective whilst the vehicle is actively competing in the event, and remains under the control or direction of the event organiser(s). Cover will cease immediately if you are precluded, excluded or retire from the event. The Event Organiser s RTA scheme is provided by REIS and underwritten by Chaucer Insurance.
