1. Vehicle maximum maximum width – 2.5 metres. No more than 7.5 tonnes, *unless agreed directly with the organisers.
2. It is the responsibility of all owners of participating motor vehicles to notify their insurers with their intended use and ensure that all vehicles are street legal.
3. Vehicle entrants and their group are required to provide their own risk assessments in respect of any injury arising or damaged caused to third parties, person or property in relation to the event. A Risk Assessment document will be sent to you to fill out and return when you apply for entry.
4. Additionally, wheel Marshals need to be in situ to prevent any accidents or injuries to participants on foot. We ask that you have a minimum of two marshals wearing high viz bibs walking either side of the front wheels of each vehicle.
