Hospitality
Eleven nights’ accommodation
in top quality hotels in a shared
room is provided, along with
a group dinner every evening,
other than on non-driving and
certain other days. In Germany
twin rooms often consist of one
bed base with two mattresses
and duvets. Two separate beds
can be guaranteed with Single
Rooms which are available for
a supplementary fee but may
be limited at some hotels. Many
lunches and coffee halts will
also be provided in a variety of
venues. We will operate a van
to assist with transporting your
luggage between hotels (sensible
weight restrictions will apply).
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 (e.g. Monit G100+),
and you will need a simple
stopwatch (or two) for the
regularity sections.
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 telephone 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 will have at least one
doctor or paramedic on hand on
the event.
Insurance and other documents
Vehicle insurance is not included
and whilst many insurers include
this kind of event in their classic
car policies, some do not. Note
that although UK and other
non-EU crews are not required to
carry a Green Card as proof of
their insurance we recommend
that you obtain one if you can.
We strongly recommend
you also have adequate travel,
medical, breakdown and
cancellation insurance.
You do not need any kind of
competition licence, a full driving
licence that is valid in Germany
and Austria is enough.
British and European
competitors do not currently
need visas for this event, but UK
passports should be valid for at
least 6 months beyond the date
of entering Europe. Those from
further afield should contact
the Embassy within their home
country if they are unsure.
At the time of writing a Carnet
or other customs documentation
is not required to drive a roadregistered car from the UK (or
the EU) to Germany, although this
may be required if you intend to
have your car delivered to the
start by a transport company.
Rally the Globe work closely with
CARS Europe who can deliver a
range of transportation services.
