TOUR GROUP START PROCEDURE

​The Tour Group will start only after confirmation from the “00” Motorsport Australia Checker and/or Command Centre. “00” Motorsport Australia Checker will advise the Stage Director via Stage Net radio that the Tour Group can be released. 
 
The Tour Group vehicles will be waved away by the Starter. If it is dry, they are to be sent off at 5 - 7 second intervals between each vehicle. If it is wet it is permissible to increase the gap between vehicles. There is to be a 10 second gap between the last tour vehicle in each packet and the tour leader in the next packet
 
The starter is not to verbally count down the start i.e. 5 4 3 2 1 GO
Ideally the starter needs to count in their mind 1 2 3 4 5 seconds and let the next car go.
 
At the finish of the Targa stage, Tour Group vehicles do not need to, and should not, stop at the stop point. If Tour Group vehicles pass through the Stop Point at an excessive speed, determined by the Deputy Stage Director and Safety Managers, their vehicle numbers are to be recorded and reported to Command Centre.
