The 2007 Event Rules:-
The rules laid down by the organisers are to be adhered to throughout the event, and are to ensure as much as possible the safety of those taking part and others.

* All speed restrictions must be adhered to at all times during the event.

* To avoid any frustration, vehicles will leave the start in groups of five/six and  participants should, where possible try and pull in and allow other road users to overtake, thus minimising any potential delays and avoiding a convoy situation with unnecessary grouping of vehicles.

* During the event participants should avoid overtaking other participating vehicles unless the other vehicle is stationary.

* Marshals are provided in the interest of safety to assist in the parking and movement of vehicles and participants should co-operate fully with any instructions. But all drivers are responsible for safety and security of their own vehicles.

* All owners are solely responsible for ensuring their vehicle meet all relevant legal requirements and must be insured against third party risks.

* There are sufficient refuelling points on the route.

* All entries must be in a clean, complete and safe working order.

* No vehicles should be left running unattended.
