Thanks for that
Rallybook size is A4
Daylight Hours means the time period beginning one half hour before sunrise and ending one half hour after sunset;
Leg 1 ends 14:00. Penalty points will start after 3 hours (17:01 ->) (-100 points every minute)
Leg 2 and the Rally ends 13:00. Penalty points will start after 2 hours (15:00 is okay, 15:01 is 200 points deducted from the total score, max -24.000)
Hi
I have a couple of questions
1. rally book what size will it be A4 or A5
2.Daylight checkpoints, what constitutes daylight, ie 30 minutes after sun set?
3.what time do penalty points start to deducted at the end of leg 1 and leg 2.
See you all at the start line.
