8.4 Distribution during the rally

During the event, refueling may be done only in the refuel zones designated by the Organizers in the road book.

9. Import of Vehicles and Spare Parts

9.1 Vehicle Registration and Licensing Vehicles temporarily imported into Tanzania are not required to be registered, provided they are re-exported before the expiry of the Carnet de Passage, the Insurance Bond or the time limit for validity of the cash deposit. If you are temporarily importing your car from a PTA country, you need to obtain a ‘COMESA YELLOW CARD’ from your local insurance agent. This will enable you to drive your car in Tanzania for a specified period of time. PTA Countries – Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

9.2 Vehicle Parts and Importation All vehicles and spare parts, temporarily imported into Tanzania, must be guaranteed against import duty and taxes (except Kenya and Uganda – see below). There are three ways in which this can be done. i) AIT/FIA Carnet de Passage

This document allows the temporary importation of a vehicle and any spare parts declared on related documents. It guarantees the payment of import duties and taxes on the vehicle or spare parts, should you not re-export them. It is the most convenient way of temporarily importing a vehicle and spare parts. The original carnet and related documents must be presented to Customs at the port of entry and again at the port of exit. The Carnet de Passage is obtainable form your local ASN. ii) Insurance Bond This involves the execution of a customs bond with an insurance company. The Commissioner of Customs calculates the duty and taxes payable on the vehicle and spare parts. The importer pays a percentage of the duty and taxes payable, as a premium, to an insurance company, who thus becomes the guarantor.


7

The original bond must be presented to Customs at the port of exit, where it will be cancelled on re-exportation of the vehicle and spare parts. iii) Cash Deposit This involves the deposit of an amount of money, equivalent to the import duty and taxes payable on the vehicle and spare parts, which is refundable on re-exportation of the vehicle and spare parts. This method is not only very expensive, but also very time consuming.

9.3 Imports from Kenya and Uganda You need to obtain a letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, permitting temporary export, of a vehicle and spare parts, to Tanzania. When crossing the border you need to submit your Log book to the Tanzanian border post. You need to re-export your car within a week, from the same border post, in order to collect your logbook. Intervals more than a week are subject to a charge upwards of US $ 50.00 For custom Clearance assistance send all documents (Copies) to Rally HQ no later than the date of close of entries.

10. Hotel Accommodations / Reservation

16. Spectators

16.1 Spectator Safety

Motor Sport can be dangerous. Your safety and well-being is important to us but you are reminded that accidents can happen despite the best safety precautions. To help minimise the

possibility of an accident or injury to yourself, other spectators and competitors, please follow a few simple rules.

• Always stay within the designated spectator areas.


14

• Cross rally tracks only at the manned crossing-points and only when Spectator Guides indicate it is safe to do so.

• Parents, please keep young children under close supervision at all times. • No animals please. If you turn up with a pet, you will not be allowed into any of the spectator

areas.

This is for the safety of the competitors, other spectators, yourself and your pet. • Please follow directions of rally Officials – it is in the interest of YOUR safety.

• Respect your fellow spectators and have a great time!

16.2 How to spectate Specators are advised to always be at designated spectator areas atleast 30minutes before the estimated time of the first rally car. NEVER STAND OUTSIDE A CORNER, OR CORNER EXIT OR THE EXIT OF A JUMP. You shall know the outside of a corner when you see the Zero Car. 16.3 New to Rally?

Below is some information to help you understand the terms used in rallying: Competitive Section A rally consists of a number of Competitive Sections. Drivers start each section one after the other generally at 3minute intervals. Competitive Sections are conducted on roads which are open to public use but in the interest of safety, competitive sections are normally conducted in areas with minimum population and minimum road usage. Competitive Sections may vary in length but not exceed a maximum of 60km. The reasons for maximum distance include safety monitoring and fuel tank capacity. Each competitive section is timed to the second. Transport Section

A section of the rally linking competitive sections with each other or the service park. Competitors must observe normal road rules and the posted speed limits on the roads used. These are generally public roads and are not closed. Recce Before the event the competitors are allowed to drive over the section they will be competing in twice (Pass 1 and Pass 2). Recces are held over the one or two days prior to the rally. Competitors complete Recce in a normal road car, and are not allowed to drive over the speed limit. Service Park The area where competitors service their rally cars. During the event, competitors are only allowed to service their rally cars at certain times and for a certain period. The repairs that are allowed include suspension components, body work, engine and transmission, however replacement of parts like engines are not allowed. Service park is open to spectators but spectators may not enter the actual service bay without specific permission from the relevant team. Zero Car

Before each competitive section starts, the Zero Car team pass through the stage to make sure that there are no safety hazards, and that all officials are in place and on standby. There are 2 Zero Cars – 0 and 00 that go through competitive sections. Zero cars are easily identified by their Zero Car livery, flashing lights and sirens. Sweep Car At the end of each competitive section, the Sweep car passes through the section to make sure that all rally cars have cleared the section or that appropriate recovery action is in place. Once Sweep has cleared the competitive stage, officials can relax until the Section Commander releases them from their post. Shakedown

Shakedown is where the competitors have the opportunity to test their rally car, at rally speeds. Shakedown is run like a normal competitive section (i.e. it is timed, and all Marshals and normal safety precautions are taken), and normally happens one or two days before the start of the rally, and after the Pre Event Scrutineering. Livery

The stickers that competitors have on their rally cars. Scrutineering

Rally cars have to conform to a strict set of technical specifications. These technical specifications are usually for reasons of safety, performance and fair competition. Competitors must take their rally cars to be scrutineered or checked that they conform to the rules both before and after the event. Opening Ceremony


15

The Opening Ceremony is the public beginning of the rally. Competitors arrive at the Opening Ceremony in their rally car, in full livery and driving suits, and at the directed moment drive the car over the start ramp. There is usually an opportunity for the general public to chat with the competitors. Often once the car is on the start ramp the MC will have a brief chat with the driver and/or co-driver. The official start of competition is usually less public as it may occur very early in the morning. Podium Finish The Podium Finish is the official finish of the rally. Once the competitors have finished the last Competitive Section, they return to the Service Park to service their rally cars, and then proceed to the Ceremonial Finish. Rally HQ

The administration centre for rally, the place where competitors and officials can obtain information including results. Rally HQ is normally situated at a designated Rally Hotel and/or the Service Park. FIA Federation Internationale de l’automobile. Governing body of motorsport worldwide. Observer

Appointed by the FIA to check that a rally conforms to international standards. The Observer’s car may appear approximately 30 minutes before the Zero car. The FIA observer may traverse the entire competitive section or just part of it. The primary role of the observer is the safety of spectators and should the observer consider a competitive section unsafe, they have the authority to advise the Clerk of Course to cancel the stage. Co-Drivers The primary role of the co-driver is to call navigational and driving directions to the driver using pace notes taken during the competitive section recce. Group N Rally Cars

Production cars must have the production series, gearbox, engine, exhaust, without having been modified besides safety requirements such as roll cages, harnesses, underbody protection and tyres. Priority Drivers

Rally drivers nominated by the manufacturers registered for the FIA Africa Rally Championship. Judges of Fact

Monitor rally cars and ensure crews do not take short cuts in competitive sections or receive some support outside the service park etc. Leg

Term to describe a full day’s rallying. Pace Notes

Detailed written notes describing every bend, turn and potential hazard, in each competitive section, taken during recce. Parc Ferme

Meaning ‘Closed Park’. A secure location where the Rally Cars are kept. Servicing of cars is not allowed in the Parc Ferme. Time lost and Penalties Time spent to complete a competitive section is referred to as Time lost. Time penalties are incurred by crews who arrive late or early to a Time Control. Traffic offences and breaches of the rally regulations may also attract Time Penalty. The driver with the least Time lost and time penalty wins a rally. Time Controls (TC) Locations where crews must report exactly at their designated time. Typically, the Service Park has a TC at the entrance and another at the exit, to ensure that crews do not exceed the allocated service time. Each special stage has a TC at the start. Late or early arrival at a TC incurs a time penalty.
