In the Event of a competing car obstructing other Competitors through being halted or unduly slow near a control Officials may instruct the Driver to proceed and may then record the time as the time when this instruction is given.
In the Event of a Competitor presenting a Time Card to Officials at a time when the car is outside the control area the Officials may or may not make a record on the Time Card at their discretion.
At Special Stage Arrival Controls no penalty will be incurred if the car enters the control area as follows:
i.

On a Target Timed Event the Vehicle may enter during the sixty seconds immediately preceding the target check-in minute or during the check-in minute.( For example: a Vehicle has left the previous Stage Finish at 11.04.40 on a section for which the Target Time is nine minutes. It is therefore due at the next Time Control at 11.13. The Vehicle arrives at the yellow advance Control Board at 11.08 stopping before the yellow board. The Vehicle is permitted to enter the control zone at any time after 11.12.00. The Time Card may be handed in at any time between 11.13.00 and 11.13.59 and a time of 11.13 will be recorded. This procedure will incur no Penalty.) On a Scheduled Time Event the Vehicle may enter the Control zone during the sixty seconds immediately preceding the due time minute or during the due time minute. The procedure to be followed is identical to that for a Target Timed Event from the point of arrival at the yellow control board to the actual check in time.
7.4. The responsibility of establishing the correct Due Time rests solely with the Competitor as does the onus of presenting the Time Card.
7.5. The time of reporting at Controls will be recorded to the preceding whole minute when penalties are imposed per minute( eg 09 minutes 59 seconds will be recorded as 09 minutes).
7.6. When a Penalty is imposed for a timekeeping error of less than one minute the time will be recorded to the preceding second.
7.7. Where a Control at the end of a section timed to the second also forms the start of a section timed to the minute the time of departure will be considered as being the same as arrival but ignoring any seconds.
