How to prepare on the rally racing day

Things to take 
  • Enough Pens of different colors
  • Enough Highlighters of different colors
  • Enough Pencils
  • Erasers
  • Stopwatch
  • Hardboard Files
  • Paper Clips

When you get the rally sheet
  1. If you have a back up crew divide the work you have among each other.
  2. Write down the mileage of the questions on the rally sheet. Count them on the rally sheet and the questions paper in order to make sure you won't miss writing down any question on the rally sheet.
  3. Highlight the questions in one chosen color, so your eye will catch it easily.
  4. Calculate time to spend on each leg and write it on the sheet. The speed (add 10% more to it), time to spend, and how many kms on that leg. Highlight them all in a different color.
  5. From the sheet that you prepared to get your meter readings, write down the meter readings on the rally sheet.

While you are on the rally
  1. Zero your odometer and the stopwatch on the starting point.
  2. Mark each step you have passed on the rally sheet.
  3. When you have an instruction that you don't know, read it again and again or search it online. It won't work for hunches and guesses.(Turn to left from TG40 light post)
  4. If the instruction says "Take the second exit", go to the junction and count each road cause you might never know of unnoticeable hidden roads.
  5. If your odo meter shows 10m instead of 100m, beware because marshals might have done the plotting the track from 100m odo meters.
