Vehicle Preparation

Stock

The vehicle must be in a good condition with the OE seat belts mandatory. Tyres should be close to new if not brand new. From our side you are required to carry at least 2 snow chains (Rs 4500/- upwards) . Helmets for each crew member (Rs 1,000 - Rs 4500/- each ) For the Cars group having an underbody protection plate under engine sump and gear box is compulsory. ( Rs 6000/- 9000/-) Apart from this and the fact that the car electricals all need to work there is no further mandatory requirement. What you choose to put over and above this is your choice.

Pro Stock

For those that wish to enter the modified category by upgrading to specifications beyond those mentioned in article 9.4 of the Supplementary Regulations it is compulsory to fit a roll cage and 4 point seat belts. Even the addition of extra shock absorbers or of uprated leaf springs will tip you over to the Pro Stock class. In this event Rs. 20000/- for the roll cage and another Rs.10000/- for a pair of seat belts should further strain the budget.

Insurances

Rally Insurance for Vehicle

Yes, you will have to obtain a special insurance cover for using your vehicle in the Raid. This is called a Rally Insurance and is for the vehicle you plan to use for the event. It is valid for the days of the Raid. and you can easily get it from your Insurance agent.

However Rally Cover is an add-on given by the branch and company that has extended you the Comprehensive insurance. Another company will only give the Rally cover if you buy the Comprehensive cover as well. Therefore its a good idea to get it from your friendly neighborhood insurance agent rather than show up at Shimla hoping for a cheap deal!

Personal Accident Policy

The policy should be covering the participant for a minimum amount of Rs. 2,00,000/- and is a must. This policy should also be easily available from your Insurance agent and should mention it is for the purpose of the Raid. This policy should cost not more than a few hundred rupees. Mediclaim cards will also do as long as the cover is for more than 2 lakhs min.

Medevac Insurance

Last year Medevac Insurance was provided to each member of the Adventure Trial @ approx. 1500/- per person. It is compulsory and we think that the rates should not be far different for this year either.

Competition Licenses

For 4 wheelers you require ;

a) An individual entrant license :

b) A Race /Rally license for driver and co driver: First driver has to take both an entrants as well as a Rally License.

Fuel and Spares

The rally will be around 2500 kms . Fuel can be calculated based on the averages your vehicle is giving. It will give only 50 percent of that while on the Raid.

Spares requirement is not at all heavy. Carry just the basics or those you know your car consumes. If you start with a well serviced machine nothing really goes wrong unless you crash it! Just remember our mechanics at the night halt service provide the labour....spares have to be those carried on board your car or bought locally at the night halt. So dont depend on the HMA Service Team for parts.

That in a nutshell is it. Keep a small budget for contingency and you're on!
