RALLYE DES PRINCESSES RICHARD MILLE

REGULATIONS & EQUIPMENT

Introduction

The Rallye des Princesses Richard Mille is a regularity event registered on the FFSA calendar. It consists of “road sections” on roads open to traffic and “special stages” also known as “regularity sectors” (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

The Tripy GPS provided by the organisation has three functions:

– 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
