PRESENTATION OF EVENT
RPR is not according to FIA rules for rally or regularity rally. Our event has his own rules which are still evolving from the first Rallye Revival organized three years ago as a meeting of Czech rallye and racing legendary drivers. Unexpected response of participants caused continuing. We invent and develop our own rules referred rallye from seventies. Of course without Super Stages. Our SS are Show Sections! Eligible cars may not be equipped with a rollcage.
Passages between TC have average speed 55-60 km/h. Average speed can be observed by compliance with traffic rules only by perfect navigation by itinerary. Each and only one mistake in navigation ( mostly wrong direction on intersection) causes later arrive to TC with penalty points. For success is more important skilled and careful co-driver. Tripmaster, or as minimum day distance counter, is necessary equipment. We recommend downloaded to your phone satelitte tripmaster.
Always keep in mind our event is no rally, no race, it is meeting! Results is not so important! Each crew finishes with a lot of penalty points from TC/ČK, RK, PK,KP( you will see in supplementary regulations).
RPR is organized as a friendly event by small stuff with small budget but with big enthusiasm :-).
