This year Yalta will enjoy significant event Yalra Rally 2011. Be aware of the rally rules in Yalta Rally 2011.

Special stages (SS) are the competitive sections of a stage rally event where the goal is to cover a stretch of closed road in the shortest time. On a special stage cars are set off individually at set intervals to reduce the chances of being impeded by other competitors.

One hour before the scheduled start of the first crew (starting number 1) the Road Police car passes through the SS with the blue shimmering light and voice signal, informing rally safety services and the spectators about prohibition to appear on the SS. After the Road Police car there could pass Safety Officers cars (SS steward, timekeeper, ASN safety delegate, Clerk Of the Course) with red pass sticker in right up of the car with logo of the held rally.

15 minutes before the start of the first crew “zero car” starts with a side number “000″. “Zero” cars are safety cars of the rally. Their main task is final verification of SS readiness for the start of the sports cars. On the “zero” cars roofs there is a yellow shimmering light. “Zero” cars number is limited to five, but could be less due to the technical reasons. The passing “zero” car imposes prohibition of passage of any cars, regardless status and passes shown. More »
