Service

With every running of the Raid, service has been critical in deciding who has won. So it will be with this edition of the Raid de Himalaya . Once the final recce is over only then will the Service Plan be available.

Service Vehicle Indicative Cost

The minimum requirements for service appear to be 2 vehicles. From our experience each such vehicle will cost the competitor Rs. 40,000/- for fuel and service crew to run. This is merely an indicative figure. By sharing vehicles the cost to individual competitors may be brought down.

However the basic requirements remain the same as before. These are reiterated below.

Registration of Service Vehicles

Each participant will be allowed ONE service vehicle free of cost. All additional vehicles will be required to pay a fee of Rs 500/- per vehicle. Service vehicles can service a maximum of 5 competitors within this fee. If more competitors are being serviced by a vehicle then an additional Rs. 500/- will be paid for the next 5 competitors. The 5 competitor rule applies to the first, free, service vehicle as well.

Service crew ID

All Service crew will wear an ID provided with their photograph during the entire duration of the event. All service personal will be provided this ID on the payment of Rs 500/- per driver/ mechanic. This is applicable to the drivers of all hired vehicles as well.
