SUPER SPECIAL STAGESReferences to this subjectAppendix Three Schedule R Section 1, Article 12.3Appendix Three Schedule R Section 2, Article 6.3Appendix Four Schedule Z Article 11.1(3)A Super Special Stage is a special stage designed for spectator viewing with thepossibility of having more than one car starting at the same time. In planning your rallythere is no compulsion to organise a super special stage but if you do so then thefollowing process must be followed.• An organiser must clearly identify in the event regulations which stages, if any,are to be run as Super Special Stages.• A separate safety plan must be submitted to Motor Sport NZ at least two monthsbefore the rally for approval.Note:<strong>MotorSport</strong> NZ reserves the right to appoint a member of the Circuit Safety Department to inspectthe stage venue before (to ensure the protection measures proposed are adequate) and / orimmediately prior to the proposed running of the event (to ensure compliance with the safety planand proposed protection measures). Where an inspector is appointed the organiser is responsiblefor associated costs.• When planning to start more than one car at the same time, the roads, at thestarting point, must be adjacent to one another. The same starting proceduremust apply to each car. You can however stagger the starting line for the cars toequalise the length of the stage from the different starting positions.Note:Only permissible were the venue is suitable in construction and safety.• The length of a Super Special Stage should be between 1.5 km and 5km exceptwhen a permanent circuit is utilised in which case the maximum stage lengthshall be four laps of the circuit.• You will need to provide a clear map of the super special stage(s), in addition tothe “tulips” contained in the road book, in the road book.• It is preferable that the road surface of any planned super special stage shouldbe of the same type as that of the rest of the rally. If the road surface of anyplanned super special stage does differ from the rest of the rally, then the serviceschedule must be organised such that it will not be practical for the competingvehicles to have set-up changes made (e.g. Suspension, springs, ride height etc)other than to change the tyres.• The starting order of a super special stage is entirely at the discretion of theorganisers. For best promotion you may decide to run the fastest cars last. Whatever is decided you must ensure that the procedure is fully detailed in the EventSupplementary Regulations.• You will require marshals trained in the use of yellow flags to warn of danger asfor super special stages the yellow flag signals as detailed in the current editionof the <strong>MotorSport</strong> Manual Appendix 4 Schedule Z is applicable.RALLY ORGANISERS HANDBOOK2009 EditionPAGE 22
