NUMBERS: Riders are to provide their own numbers which
must be a minimum 100mm high. Please leave room for METZELER stickers
(190mm x 30mm) which are be enclosed with these final instructions. YOU
are responsible for having the correct number backgrounds, they will NOT
be provided. It is a condition of the ACU METZELER sponsorship that the stickers
provided MUST be used. Your bike must be scrutineered BEFORE you
sign-on.
The Parc Ferme
will be in a locked fenced area and overnight security will be in operation.
CAMPING: Is available at the Rugby
Club however, the campsite at the club is now run as a commercial enterprise;
therefore anyone wishing to make use of the facilities there will have to
negotiate directly with the Rugby Club. WTRA as the event organisers have no interest in and take NO responsibility for camping arrangements!
FIRST AID: Will be provided by
the Brecon District St John's Ambulance Brigade. The nearest casualty hospital
is at Carmarthen.
MACHINE
EXAMINATION/SIGNING ON: Machine examination and signing on will
be between 12:00pm and 18:00 on Friday 8th
August. In VERY exceptional
circumstances and ONLY with the
prior agreement of the event Stewards a VERY
SMALL number of machines may be scrutineered
between 08.00 and 08.30 on Saturday 9th August but they will be
subject to 20 penalty points as per ACU regulations.
TYRES: Front and Rear MUST be 'Enduro' type to current F.I.M. specification.
NOISE: Riders are required to have the stroke of the engine
clearly and permanently marked on the crankcases, any machine not showing this
will NOT be examined. Random noise
tests WILL take place during each
day of the event. Failure to stop for a noise test will result in immediate
exclusion.
REFUELING: Will ONLY
allowed at the start/finish area, Refuel 1 (RP1) along a designated
section of gravel road at check 3 (CK3)
and at Refuel 2 (RP2) situated prior
to check 5/1. (CK1) The route to RP1 & RP2 will be signposted from the start.
SPECIAL TEST: Due to the ever growing restrictions and lack of available land we are
unable to offer a motocross test. There will be one Cross-country test per lap
(Start/Finish of test adjacent). The test will be available for inspection (on
foot only) from 1pm Friday 8th August and is accessible from the A40
at Pentrebach, this access will be marked with Green arrows. It is expected
that the test will be timed on every lap.
SPECTATORS: Will have access to the test on both days accessible by following the
Green arrows along the A40.
ROUTE: From the start riders will proceed through Llandovery and along the
A483 to Cynghordy where the route turns right at a very bad junction on the
brow of a hill (BEWARE OF ONCOMING
TRAFFIC). You will then follow
the road towards Tirabad before turning right into the forest and check 1 (CK1). This marks the start of the lap
within the Crychan Forest. On
completion of your designated number of laps, you will follow the road back to
Llandovery, to a pre-finish check, at Llandovery Rugby Club.
PLEASE NOTE: Ride safely and quietly through Llandovery and up to the forest
and save your energies for the course. There is no advantage to be gained by
riding at unreasonable speeds on the road and to do so puts future events in
jeopardy.
NUMBERS OF LAPS AND
TESTS: The
actual number of laps and specials tests per class per day will depend on the
weather conditions on the weekend and will be decided before the start but they
are expected to be:
Championship - 4
laps day 1, 4 laps day 2
Expert – 3 laps
day 1, 3 laps day 2
Clubman – 2 laps
day 1, 2 laps day 2
POSITION MARKERS: Could competitors please note that along the route there will be numbers
displayed at 1km intervals, these numbers are to help you identify where you
are on the course so that if any form of incident occurs you will be able to
describe it’s location to marshals, i.e. just after 12 or just before 13 or
between 12 and 13 etc.
FINISH: Please make sure
that you hand in your timecard at the finish if you retire. The travelling marshals will not thank you if they spend time
searching the forest for you when you are warm and safe at the finish.
