MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR

Kick Start/Global Brands is proud to continue its association and sponsorship of
Matlock Motor Club’s premier rally for the 17th year.

Matlock Motor Club has organised this rally for 44 years, and it has been a
proving ground for many top rally drivers and co-drivers and a must for the
clubman.

I am sure the organising team has once again planned a demanding and tough
route for driver and navigator.

Steve Perez
Managing Director, Global Brands Ltd

FOREWORD

A warm welcome to Matlock Motor Club’s 44th Rally of Derbyshire. Our sincere thanks go to Steve and his team at
Global Brands Ltd for their continued sponsorship and enthusiastic support of the event.

We look forward to meeting all our “regulars” again this year and we especially welcome any newcomers to this
long-established classic. This year we are breaking with recent tradition and are venturing further afield with a
change in start and finish venue whilst using some of the best lanes on maps 118 and 119. We have a challenging
120 mile route, 6 miles of which are on unsurfaced whites (including the 2 special tests), carefully selected to
provide enjoyment and challenge for the driver without being car breakers.

As usual, there will be several sections timed to the second using no-nonsense navigation which should be easily
plotted on the map before starting them. This year we return to a Navigational Rally permit to allow the use of 2
special tests half way through the rally.

As always we need plenty of marshals, so please encourage your family and friends to turn out – in return they
will get drinks and snacks, plus a free breakfast if they marshal in the second half.

We are again raising funds for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance. Please try to contribute
to this worthy cause either by a donation with your entry or the collection boxes at the start.

We look forward to seeing you all at the start on 14th April.

                                               The Organising Team.

      OTL may be reduced from 30 minutes (but not lower than 15 minutes) at some or all controls where the
      scheduled time for Car 1 is before 00:45 hours on 15th April – this is to facilitate marshals being able to do more
      than one control. OTL will be extended to 45 mins at the final Main Time Control.

17.   MODIFICATION OF GENERAL REGULATIONS
      All other General Regulations of the MSA apply as written, except for the following, which are modified:

      H35.1.4             A Novice shall be as defined in SR8 above.
      R2.3.3              Secret checks may be established to ensure compliance with route instructions, technical
                          regulations, noise and maps used.
      R12.8               Timing may be in seconds on some Regularity sections.
      R7.2.3              Mobile telephones may be carried in the car (for use in breakdown or emergency
                          situations only).
      R15.2.2             In the event of a tie the winner will be decided by the furthest cleanest followed by lowest
                          engine capacity.

18.   INSURANCE

      Vehicles must have insurance in place which provides Third Party Liability cover that complies with the Road
      Traffic Act. This can be either by extending an existing motor policy to cover the event or by purchasing additional
      cover as an adjunct to an existing policy.

      If a competitor uses an extension to an existing policy they will be required to sign a declaration that the cover
      complies with the requirements of the Road Traffic Act. Any responsibility for a fraudulent or misleading
      declaration about existing cover lies with the competitor.

      If a competitor wishes to purchase additional cover via the organisers they can do so prior to the event providing
      they comply with the following.

          •     Age 19 years of over
          •     Has held a full license for a minimum of 6 months
          •     Has no more than 6 points on their license
          •     Has had no more than 1 fault claim in the last 3 years
          •     The vehicle has valid Tax, MOT and is currently insured for road use

      Anyone aged less than 19 years old will also be accepted at the same price should their co-driver be a more senior
      member of their family aged over 25.

      Any competitor who falls outside these parameters maybe offered cover at equivalent terms or an agreed price, if
      approval from Reis Motorsport Insurance has been obtained by the event organisers, prior to the event.

      Additional cover provided by this scheme is only effective whilst the vehicle is actively competing in the event and
      remains under the control or direction of the event organiser(s). Cover will cease immediately if you are
      precluded, excluded or retire from the event.

      The Event Organiser’s RTA scheme is provided by Reis Motorsport Insurance and underwritten by Zenith Marque
      Insurance Services Limited. The cost is £20.00 per competitor.

                   manufacture and supply of high quality fittings for use with all applications in the
                                            plumbing and heating trade.
