RALLYE DES PRINCESSES RICHARD MILLE

Introduction

The Rallye des Princesses Richard Mille is a regularity event registered on the FFSA calendar. It consists of ā€œroad sectionsā€ on roads open to traffic and ā€œspecial stagesā€ also known as ā€œregularity sectorsā€ (SR).

The game consists in following an average speed given by the organisation according to the age of the vehicle. For example, a team entered in a 1960s Triumph will have to get as close as possible to an average speed of 50 km/h. The competitors know the starting point of the regularity sector, but do not know where the finish is.

They are guided by a roadbook, a stopwatch and a Tripmaster which allows them to know the partial and total distances. The role of the co-driver is very important because she punctuates the driver’s driving.

EQUIPMENT

– It gives the official time of the rally
– It allows you to establish your rankings in real time
– It knows exactly where the cars are
