APRC Regulations update
23 Feb 2010 - Murray Brown

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Further updates on APRC 2010. 
APRC 2010 Regulations

  • As advised previously there are some errors in the revision to the 2010 Regional Rally Regulations, including the APRC.
  • Article 5.7 - Minimum Participation Requirements -  should read  - 6 nominated events of which at least 5 must be contested
  • If you are aware of any other regulations that appear to be confusing, please let me know and I will attempt to have these addressed when the regulations are up for review again at end of 2010.
  • A reminder of the ability to apply for a "Wild Card" entry  for APRC which provides for competitors to be "registered" on their home event, start with the registered competitors and score APRC points. If subsequent events are contested, and you wish to score points, you are then required to complete the usual registration process and pay the required registration fee.  Nominations for a Wild Card entry must be done through your ASN and accepted by the APRC Executive.  


Registration Form

  • A revised registration form  is attached here, reflecting the reduced registration fee if completed and submitted by 28 February 2010. Further details available on the APRC website http://www.fiaaprc.com/  
  • Please note the cut off dates for registration for APRC, Asia Cup and Pacific Cup.
  • If you need clarification of these dates, please contact me directly . 
Malaysian Rally

  • Supplementary Regulations  for this event are due to be available from Friday 5 March . I will advise when these are available, but please continue to check the event website  http://www.malaysianrally.com/
  • As previously advised there are some changes to the Rally HQ/Hotel location and the pre-event service area/service park used during the event.  
  • If you have any questions on these changes, please contact me directly. 
Rally Hokkaido 

Fuel Supply

  • A reminder that if you are wanting supplies of FIA approved fuel at the first 2 events of APRC 2010 (Malaysia and Japan), I will need to have your orders in place very soon to ensure supply at the event service park. Please do not leave this until the last minute for ordering as it could result in additional freight charges, or potentially no fuel available for your team. Please let me know as soon as possible with your orders. 
APRC Star Driver Programme

  • An announcement regarding the young driver programme for drivers in the APRC region is expected to be made in early March.
Vehicles available

  • Further to my previous update, I have been advised of other rally cars that are available, for lease or for purchase for APRC competition.  These include European based S2000 cars as well as regionally based Gp N cars. If you would like further information on any of these options, please let me know and I will send the information and contact details to you directly. 
As further information becomes available I will pass it on via these updates. If you require any further information on any aspect of APRC, the events, logistics or general information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Information is also available on the APRC website http://www.fiaaprc.com/ or http://www.aprc.tv/murraybrownPage.php
