Safety guide

A hillclimb puts the race on a road built for everyday traffic. That changes what a spectator has to watch out for.

• A car can leave the road at any point of the course, and stones, parts and fluids can go with it.
• You hear a car late and it arrives fast. Keep your eyes on the road whenever a run is on.
• Race cars are loud. Bring hearing protection, above all for children.
• Hold children by the hand and keep dogs on a lead the whole time.
• By watching from the roadside, you accept the risks that come with a motorsport event.

There are 20 marshal posts on the course, numbered as in the regulations. The head of each post is a judge of fact.

• Follow the instructions of the marshals and the organiser's stewards at once and without argument.
• If a marshal asks you to move back or to another place, do it straight away.
• A yellow flag means an incident ahead. Stay alert and stay off the road.
• A red flag stops the run. The road is still closed: wait for the marshals before you move.

The four marked zones are our recommendation. Wherever you watch, pick a safe spot and follow the marshals.

• The recommended zones: the paddock at Lozica, the start by the bridge, marshal post 2 to chicane 1, and chicane 2 by marshal post 8.
• Spectators are not allowed between the start and marshal post 2.
• Never stand on the outside of a bend, in a run-off area or below an embankment. A car that loses grip goes outwards.
• Stay inside the marked edge of your zone. Do not climb walls, fences or trees for a better view.
• If you are not sure whether a place is allowed, ask the nearest marshal.

The road is closed for the runs on Saturday and Sunday; the hours of every closure are on the Spectators page. Inside them, the road belongs to the race.

• Be in your zone before the road closes.
• Do not walk along the road to another zone while it is closed.
• After each run the cars come back down the same road in a convoy. Do not step onto the road, not even between runs.
• In the breaks between runs, local traffic to and from Osojnik is let through. A break is not a gap to cross.

The course is the road to Petrovo Selo, Pobrežje and Osojnik. People live along it all year.

• Do not stand on private land, walls or roofs without the owner's permission.
• Park only where parking is allowed. Never block a driveway, a junction or the road: an ambulance has to get through.
• Take your rubbish with you when you leave.
• No open fire or barbecue, and put cigarettes out properly. Grass and scrub on the hillside catch fire easily.
• Do not fly a drone over the course or the crowd. EU rules ban flights over gatherings of people without an authorisation.

What to do if someone is hurt or a car leaves the road.

• If someone is hurt, alert the nearest marshal post at once.
• Never run onto the road to help, not even after a crash. Wait until the marshals say the road is safe.
• Keep the paths beside the road clear of bags and chairs. Rescue teams have to reach the road fast.
• If the area has to be cleared, follow the marshals. Walk, do not run.
