What to take
A fire extinguisher, full first aid
kit, warning triangle, high visibility
jackets and a towrope are all
mandatory. On occasion we will
park in historic areas where we
insist an oil-resistant groundsheet
is placed under each car.
Your car will need to be
fitted with a tripmeter that
can be calibrated to that of the
organisers (eg Monit G-100) and
you will need a simple stopwatch
for the regularity sections.
A list of other mandatory
equipment will be issued in the
lead up to the event and may
include items of car preparation,
essential spares, navigational
equipment, etc.
Helmets and overalls are not
required, and do not reflect the
spirit of the event.
On event support
Our expert team of sweep
mechanics follow the last car on
the rally route and are prepared
to help anyone they come across.
Should your car be off-route,
you must contact the sweeps
as soon as possible. Should
you need to be transported by
truck we will help as much as
we can, but all responsibility,
including payment, rests with the
competitor.
We always have at least one
doctor or paramedic on our
events.
Getting there and back
There are international airports
both in Anchorage and in San
Jose del Cabo (45 minutes from
the finish) with good flight
connections to major US hubs
and the occasional direct transAtlantic flight.
We work closely with CARS
Europe who will be offering a
range of car shipping options to
the start and back again from the
finish.
Insurance and other documents
Vehicle insurance is not included,
and we strongly recommend you
have adequate travel, medical
and cancellation insurance.
Please contact Rally the Globe HQ
for suggested providers.
Details of any visas, driving
licences or other documents
that you will require throughout
the event will be provided in
due course. The responsibility
for obtaining these lies with the
individual although Rally the
Globe HQ will be there to guide
you through the processes.
More information
Our regular newsletters will
keep you updated, including
any relevant travel and medical
information you may need. If
you require any information
on shipping cars to the event,
preparing yourself and your car
for a visit to North America, or
anything else, please feel free to

Hospitality
Thirty-two nights’ accommodation
is included in a shared room
(double or twin). Single rooms
are available for a supplementary
fee but may be limited at some
hotels.
We strive to provide good
quality accommodation wherever
it is available. In some of the
remoter parts of the route our
options are severely limited, but
when we are in more mainstream
locations, and particularly during
rest days, the hotels will be top
quality.
Dinner and other refreshments
will be provided on most
competition days. A light lunch
will be included where this is
possible.
