Any difference between the actual check-in time and the target check-in time will be penalised. 6 - REGULARITY TEST SECTIONS The regularity tests are held on roads open to the public traffic. They must be covered at an average speed, imposed by the organizer, and different for each test but always lower than 50 km/h. For each test the organiser may set up, at his own discretion, intermediate timekeeping points at any spot of the test section. There must be a minimum of one secret time check on each regularity test section. Only the crews with pre 1966 cars will be able to choose on the entry form, and for the entire duration of the rally, the optional low average speed. Timing will be done to 1/10th of a second.
