Rally 2 ( SuperRally )

Il Rally 2 è quella regola, precedentemente chiamata Super Rally, che permette ai piloti di rientrare in gara il giorno dopo il loro ritiro. I piloti ritiratisi sfruttando il Rally 2 possono rientrare in gara con una penalità che varia a seconda del numero di speciali a cui non hanno preso parte.

Dal 2012 gli organizzatori dei rally possono scegliere se applicare o meno questa regola, il Rally di Monte Carlo è stato il primo rally della stagione a decidere di non applicare il Rally 2.

Jean Todt inoltre sta pensando di eliminare del tutto il Rally 2.

[EVIDENZIA]46. RE-START AFTER RETIREMENT / RALLY 2

46.1.1 Unless stated differently in the event Supplementary Regulations, a crew which has failed to complete a section may be assumed to re-start the rally from the start of the next section following the overnight regroup unless they confirm otherwise with the clerk of the course by completion of the form located in the rear of the road book and lodging it with the organiser as soon as possible before the publication of the re-start list.

46.1.2 After the clerk of the course has been informed of a retirement, the crew must hand in their time card. When retirement is on a special stage, that stage time will not be recorded.

46.1.3 In the case of exclusion under Art. 34 of these regulations ( esclusione per ritardo ), the competitor concerned will be allowed to re-start after the next overnight regroup. The time penalty will be applied from the TC at which the concerned competitor has exceeded the maximum permitted lateness.

46.1.4 Any crew which has retired from a section on the last day of the rally will not be classified.

46.2 PENALTIES

For all crews which restart a time penalty will be applied. This time penalty will be as follows:

46.2.1 For every stage or super special stage missed: 5 minutes.

46.2.2 However, should the first time a special stage or a super special stage that is missed be that run as Section 1 when followed by an overnight regroup before Section 2 or the last stage before an overnight regroup, the penalty will be 10 minutes. This 10 minute penalty can be applied only once in a rally.

46.2.3 This time penalty will be added to the fastest time of the drivers’ priority group (P1, P2, P3 split as SWRC, PWRC and PWRC 2WD) for each missed stage, which shall include the special stage or super special stage on which the crew has retired. For non-priority drivers, this time penalty will be added to the fastest time achieved in its class by a non-priority driver.

46.2.4 Should retirement occur after the last special stage or super special stage before an overnight
regroup, the crew will nonetheless be deemed to have missed that last special stage or super special
stage.

46.2.5 In the case of Super Special stages, should two such stages each of less than 2.5 kms be run
consecutively, any priority crew unable to complete either the first or the second passage of the SSS will be allocated the fastest aggregate times of the driver’s priority group plus half the time penalty in Arts. 46.2.1 or 46.2.2 of these regulations for each special stage missed. In the case of non-priority drivers, this time penalty will be added to the fastest time achieved in its class by a non-priority driver.
