Rallying is potentially very dangerous and we appeal to everyone to stay alert and follow the marshals instructions. If they ask you to move please do so as it's for your own safety. Please remember if the organisers deem a stage to be unsafe they will cancel it - don't be the one who causes it to be cancelled!
Also, you don't want to see your car towed away or receive a hefty fine, so please park your car legally.
