PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARE IN POSITION FOR WHITEASH 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE 1st CAR

Unfortunatly for this year we only have one forest spectator stage, this is due to a number of reasons. We have lost the Gartly stage this year due to enviromental constrants and the other venues avaliable to us has meant that we haven’t been able to arrange car parks and viewing areas in other forests.

Please avoid trying to access any of the other stages on the event and to be respectful of the residents in these areas.

Any unauthorised access may result in the event being delayed or stages cancelled.

  • We have tried to ensure that you will be able to reach your chosen spectator viewing area without walking on the special stage. If you decide to leave the stage prior to the last competitor, PLEASE ensure that you walk on the pathways or behind the tree line. All the competitors will be travelling at high speeds and spectators are strongly advised NOT to walk on the rally route.
  • All spectators are reminded that motorsport can be dangerous and despite us taking all reasonable precautions, unavoidable accidents can happen. In respect of these, you are present at your own risk.
  • We ask that you obey all instructions of safety marshals, spectator marshals and police officers in relation to your safety and that of others.
  • Please make sure you dress to take full account of the weather. Remember to wear sturdy footwear for typical forest conditions.
  • Please do not bring your dogs to the event as they can be startled by the loud noises and cause a danger to others – disabled assistance dogs only (on leads at all times.)
  • Children and infants should ALWAYS be accompanied by an adequate amount of adults at all times who are responsible for their behaviour and safety.
  • Beware of flying stones and uneven or slippery surfaces.
  • Stay above the track (never below).
  • Do no stand in the straight-on position – you will be removed.
  • Respect the signs and the tape; Red and White = a NO GO area, Prohibited area MEANS prohibited area.
