Leave The Drone At Home
Never Risk Your Own Safety

Drones

Marshals will be empowered to ground any drone that attempts to fly during the event and if required the stage itself will be stopped. Three drones are approved to be flown on event by DJI as part of their global partnership with WRC Promoter.

Selfie Sticks and Action Cameras

Use of selfie sticks and action cameras (Go Pros) is not forbidden however spectators are reminded to use these in a sensible manner without putting themselves and others at risk. Action cameras should not be placed on the rally route where they are likely to get hit by cars.
