The 2007 Grand Prix Rally is a Touring Road Event conducted under CAMS regulations & a CAMS Permit, designed to offer a balance of challenges to both drivers and navigators over the four days of competition. You will not only get the satisfaction of participating in a truly unique event, but you will experience an adventure that combines the adrenaline of motor sport with the camaraderie of friends & other enthusiasts. In addition to the competition element, there are evening get togethers and a gala post-event dinner.

Additional Crew and Friends: Crews, friends and family are more than welcome. If any Entrant is proposing to have additional road crew, family, friend, wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, personnel trainer, photographer or agent etc follow the Event, there will be a ‘Road Crew Booking Form’ that will advise the Organisers if any of the aforementioned require meals en-route or tickets to the Presentation Dinner. Fees are applicable and will be provided in future Bulletins. Additional crew will not receive ‘GA’ Tickets to the Formula 1™ Australian Grand Prix as part of this package. The Organisers will require full payment for any additional crew prior to the Event as we are no longer able to afford ‘non-paying’ extra’s on the day and refusal on the day may offend.

Navigation: The style of Navigation involves plotting on maps supplied, reading off a compass, travelling the road as mapped and being observant. The Organisers will conduct a free Navigation School prior to the first Navigation and follow up review notes each evening.

Navigation Equipment:  Or what navigators will need! A decent magnifying glass, highlighter pens, a clipboard, (A4 or A3 Size), clutch pencils and erasers. A Compass would be handy but the clear plastic Rally Roamer has a compass included, remembering that all maps read north.

Scoring: Each run of each Sub-Event of the Event will be scored individually. Points will be awarded in order of finishing from highest to lowest as follows: 1st = 100 points, 2nd = 99 points, 3rd = 98 points, 4th = 97 points etc and so on down to the last competitor. In the event of “Tied Places”, the average of the scores for those places will be awarded to each Crew. Thus, if three Crews tied for second place, add 99 + 98 + 97 = 294 divided by 3 = 98 points per Crew.

CAMS Club membership and L2S Licences: Make sure your CAMS Affiliated Car Club Membership will be current for 2007. The minimum CAMS Licence requirement for the Event is Level 2S. This is available from CAMS

Scrutiny: Event Scrutiny will take place at Benalla. The date is Saturday 10 March between 15:00 and 17:30. All competitors, including Regional and Interstate competitors can arrange Scrutiny through a CAMS Scrutineer in their area, (current details available from CAMS).
