Getting there
Two ways to the course
The bridge is closed: no way across and no parking on it. Come by car before the course closes, Saturday 11:00 and Sunday 09:00.
The start is at the north end of the Franjo Tuđman Bridge.

The course climbs from 30 metres by the bridge to 347 metres at Osojnik. The marshal posts are numbered as in the regulations, which makes them the easiest way to find your way on the day.
Spectators are not allowed between the start and marshal post 2. The marked zones are our recommendation: wherever you watch, pick a safe spot and follow the marshals' directions on where to stand.

A closed public road
The course is an ordinary road that gets closed for the race. There are no circuit barriers and no gravel traps. That makes a few rules more than advice.
- Follow the marshals at once. The head of each post is a judge of fact.
- Stay off the road, even between runs. The cars come back down in a convoy.
- Never stand on the outside of a bend. A car that loses grip goes outwards.
