Spectators

Important Information

-----------------

WARNING: This year we have live AI Camera's fitted in Safety Vehicles and Rally Cars, if any spectators are recorded standing in dangerous positions the stage will be stopped, so please help us run it safely and on time.

JUMP IN CLOC: This year the stage is running the opposite way and we have a chicane just before the jump so not the same as previous years.
