7.4 Navigation
- Each competitor will receive their class GPS track map for each Offroad day as well as important coordinates uploaded.
- Each competitor must have at least ONE functioning GPS at all times, set on record. The use of 2 or more GPS’s per competitor is permitted, all must be set on record (trackback feature). An additional charge of €35 per additional GPS will be made for uploading, downloading tracks and providing batteries.
- The track has Blue=right way/Yellow=wrong way 'route banners', class separation markers at intersections, checkpoint flags and Red Bull start and offroad finish Arches.

Class separation markers at intersections.

- Because of the exposed routing, competitors must treat contacts with other competitors (overtaking), carefully and respectfully.
- Take care - expect to meet on the GPS track, cars, tractors, trucks, animals, woodworkers, all kinds of obstacles can suddenly appear without warning.

Use bridges provided, some specially constructed, so we do not make the water muddy.

8:0 Results Evaluation -

The Prolog regulations - Rules regulations and detailed information for each race class.

Offroad days 1-4
- The organisers publish the “maximum riding time limit” for the next Offroad day ONLINE, it includes the mandatory stop time at the 'Service point'' and includes the time needed if there is 'timed liaison(s)' during the event.
- The total time of a competitor is calculated by adding the actual riding time on the track plus any given time penalties. (see section 9. Rules and penalties)
- The sum of the total amount of time of each stage (start to finish) is evaluated.
The winner is the competitor who achieves the lowest riding time.
The Race Director or Clerk of Course have the right to disqualify competitors in case of unfair behaviour or in the case of course fouls.
- If a competitors riding time means they will not reach the finish(maximum riding time), they will be asked to leave the racetrack at a checkpoint and directed back to the Offroad finish or Competitor paddock. (the competitor has been time barred)
- If a competitor ‘’leaves the racetrack’’ at a checkpoint before the finish they follow the abandon track(AB) on their GPS and 'timebarred' signs or follow special instructions given by staff at the checkpoint, they MUST present their motorcycle and dis-mount and hand-in their GPS and rescue map at the GPS flag at the ''Offroad finish checkpoint" OR at the ''Competitor paddock checkpoint".
- If the Race Director or Clerk of course decides that a section of the course has become impassable due to weather conditions, queuing or other factors outside his control, or if the estimated "maximum days riding time" is no longer achievable, then they have the right to remove time taken between checkpoints or finish the race earlier and adjust the results accordingly as needed.
- Our guarantee is that at least 40% of competitors each day will be finishers in the results.

8.1 Results - Day/ Overall
LIVE race progress and during event LIVE event news is available.
Day - includes LIVE race progress DURING the days race. The rank changes depending on who is leading the race.
You can view competitors 'Checkpoint arrival times', 'timebar times', 'ride times' between checkpoints and the 'differential times' from the fastest competitor between checkpoints.
Overall - Includes LIVE OVERALL race progress during the race and the results of any previous Offroad days & Time trial qualification.
Note: The ranking changes as competitors reach each checkpoint.

Live race progress become OFFICIAL RESULTS when all competitors have completed their race and any GPS offtrack penalties and all competitors results protest times have expired and all event Jury meetings are completed.

8.2 Timebar times
- Competitors must reach each checkpoint before the 'timebar time' that is displayed for each checkpoint in the offroad 'Day results'.
- If the timebar time is coloured RED (example ~~14:05:58~~) then the competitor has arrived too late at that checkpoint and now has status AB=Abandoned. Competitors should follow the 'Abandoned GPS track' from that checkpoint and the 'timebarred signs' and to go direct to the offroad finish or competitor paddock. If leaving the track, always phone Rescue 1 0040 731 270 884 or  Rescue 2 0040 751 869 322 - so no one is searching for you.
Abandoned GPS track

8.3 Abandonment - out of race
All competitors who leave the course MUST go to either the 'Offroad finish checkpoint' OR the 'Competitors Paddock checkpoint' and hand-in the rescue map, dismount and hand-in their GPS at the GPS FLAG. We then know ''abandoned competitors'' are safe and we do not need to search for them.
Note: Competitors MUST carry with them tools needed to dismount their own GPS.

In the case of abandoning the racetrack between checkpoints it is important that a competitor phones the Red Bull Romaniacs medical rescue team to let them know they are leaving or have left the racetrack. Contact either:- Medical Rescue 1 0040 731 270 884, Medical Rescue 2 0040 751 869 322, Motorcycle breakdown 0040 731 270 881,
A competitors' failure to respect the obligation to inform the organisers in the case of retiring from the race, where search operations need to be carried out, will result in the competitor being liable for the financial costs of these search operations.
A competitors' failure to hand in their GPS & rescue map at the Offroad Finish or Competitor Paddock Finish will result in a first time warning which will be displayed in results, if happens again then they will become disqualified from competing. Disqualified or abandoned competitors are only allowed to continue on the racetrack with the express permission of the Race Director.

8.4 Complaints, Objections, Protests
Results and ''results investigations'' are time limited
After a competitors 'Results published time'' is displayed and 2 hours have passed a 'Results protest'' or ''First aid medical assistance'' time back claim may no longer be accepted.
Therefore, competitors should view their Results ONLINE on their mobile phones as soon as possible.
- soon after arrival at the 'Offroad finish'
- on the way back to Competitor paddock
- when back at the Competitor Paddock
- or as soon as arriving at accommodation
WARNING: The results team/medical team have a limited amount of time to investigate claims BEFORE the results become OFFICIAL. Once a competitor result has been published and 2 hours have passed a 'Results protest'' or ''First aid medical assistance'' time back claim will no longer be considered valid claim.
- Competitor results protests must be made ONLINE by 'COMPETITORS' using this form.
Verbal protest(s), phone call(s), third party complainers, messages sent by WhatsApp, messenger, Facebook or via email are NOT accepted as valid protests.

- 'Agreeable complaints or objections', will be considered by the Race Director / Clerk of Course.

In the case of an ''official protest'' a jury meeting will take place to consider this.
Official protests must be in writing and a protest fee has to be posted, if the protest is upheld then the protest fee will be returned.
In the case of an accepted Official written protest(s) with the paid protest fee

For more protests information read Section 1 of these regulations A) Amatuers or B) F.I.M HEWC competitors

8.5 Liaison
- When driving in a Liaison competitors are NOT racing. It is the competitor’s responsibility to drive with due care and attention, all traffic laws apply and road legal conditions apply whether competitors are on a road, forest road or any track used by other members of the public.
- Competitors Liaison Point in time(LPin) is taken, then their Liaison Point out clock time(LPout) is written on a sticker and applied to their motorcycle helmet. Plenty of riding time is provided to allow competitors to travel from the LPin to the LPout. Some ''Waiting time'' at the LPout is always included. It is the competitors' responsibility to present themselves to the Liaison Point(LPout) at their given starting time
- During a Liaison competitors are NOT racing, so there is no need to speed and there are no benefits for doing so. Speeding Competitors may be stopped - financially fined by police, given a driving licence suspension and be event time penalized for speeding, The GPS recorded track of the competitor will be taken into consideration in the resolution of a protest or for judging cases of penalty or disqualification. (Read 9.4 Speeding over limit - time penalties)

Event rules and penalties

The Prolog regulations rules and regulations for each race class

9.0 At the start of each Offroad day
- Competitors get the riding time on public roads to the race start, the Offroad start times, exact starting procedure from the "ONLINE track details" and competitor & service crew briefing(s) in the afternoon/evening before each race day.
It is the competitors responsibility to present themselves at the Red Bull Starting Arch at their 'given start time'. Competitors are scanned and 'held in position at the start line' until their exact starting time.
- A competitor presenting themselves over 60 minutes late at the start (Offroad or paddock start), means they have abandoned(AB) this day.
- If a competitor is late 'less than' 60 minutes at the start, the GIVEN start time is used and not the competitors late arrival (leaving) time at the start.
- Riding with unreadable competitor numbers at the Prolog or Offroad days will result in a 10 minute time penalty being added to results.
- There are no restrictions on the changing of any mechanical parts during the event this can be done anywhere, anytime. Repairing a motorcycle beside the race track is permitted as long as no other competitor(s) are being obstructed.

9.1 Tyres
- Tyres must be road legal, MX tyres are not road legal, so not allowed.
Metzeler can provide at the event suitable road legal enduro racing tyres. Contact them to order pre-event.
- It is not permitted to fit NEW tyres or 'another set of wheels with NEW tyres' anywhere on the race track between the 'Offroad Start' & 'Offroad Finish' or at the daily service points.

If a tyre has become damaged beyond safe use, (is DANGEROUS to drive with) then the Race Director / Clerk of Course MUST be informed as soon as possible about when and where a tyre change was made. Proof of damage is required, photos and the damaged tyre MUST be retained in case of official ''Results protests'' from other competitors. If the Race Director / Clerk of Course was not informed about a tyre change BEFORE a results protest arrives. Then that protest will be automatically succesfull and the tyre changing competitor can get large race time penalties or face possible event disqualificatrion(DSQ).

- A competitor repairing his motorcycle beside the racetrack is permitted as long as no other competitor(s) are being obstructed.

9.2 Assisting competitors on the track
- 15 minute time penalty will be applied to any competitor being physically assisted to aid their track progress by assistants, service crews, family, friends, fans or Media on ANY part of the race track. It is the Competitors reponsibility to STOP people from assisting!!
Competitors may be assisted only by ''OFFICIAL Romaniacs track staff'' who will be available to advice competitors at the toughest and most difficult sections.
- Competitors can assist each other - ONLY when by doing so it keeps the race track from being blocked.
- Competitors must not make competative time advantages by repetitively assisting each other during the event.

Assisting Romaniacs staff will have a CIA badge

CIA badges - Track managers, Start line, CheckPoints, TankPoints, ServicePoints, Offroad Finish - the Romaniacs staff have them!
If someone is giving you strange instructions or directing you off the GPS track, and your not SURE WHY, ask them to show you their Romaniacs CIA badge! No Romaniacs CIA badge = DO not accept their help or advice! Do NOT follow their instructions. Follow the GPS Track you have been given.

9.3 Checkpoint Rules
CheckPoints(CP) are timing points (competitors passage time is recorded). They are clearly indicated on the track by yellow and white flags. Overtaking within the checkpoints flags is not allowed

- Competitors must STOP at all checkpoints(CP), have their arrival time scanned by checkpoint staff, then depart the checkpoints.
- A competitors failure to reach a checkpoint or NOT stopping at checkpoint equals an abandonment of the days race(AB status) and leads to substantial time penalties. Failure to reach a checkpoint or NOT stopping at a checkpoint on 2 offroad days = 2xAB=DSQ - Disqualification.
- Not reaching a checkpoint before a competitors TIME BAR time equals status abandoned(AB) for that days race, the competitor must leave the race track. Failure to leave race track using the provided Abandoned track equals event disqualification.

GPS abandon track

- The competitor MUST present their motorcycle and dis-mount and hand-in their GPS and rescue map either at the GPS flag at ''Offroad finish checkpoint" or if left the track must hand-in their GPS at the ''Competitor paddock checkpoint" as soon as possible. NO DELAYS must take place in handing in GPS.
- If a competitor leaves the "race track’’ at a checkpoint before the Offroad finish they must follow the 'GPS Abandon track' or follow instructions provided. Phone Medical Rescue 1 0040 731 270 884 or Medical Rescue 2 0040 751 869 322 to advise them you have left the race track.

- For missing or not reaching a checkpoint an inflated "missed track" penalty time will be given. A competitors actual riding time between missed checkpoints will be removed.
- Loss of timekeeping chip= 15 min penalty
- Drinking water is provided at the re-fuelling tankpoints and NOT supplied at Checkpoints.
- If you see this sign at a checkpoint “Track closed” Call Rescue 1 0040 731 270 884 Rescue 2 0040 751 869 322

9.4 Speeding over limit - Speeding time penalties.
Speed limit zone starts - GPS track changes to a thin BLUE line
Speed limit zone ends - GPS track wide RED line returns

Near villages and houses you MUST keep your speeds low. In Romania many children play on the street and are attracted by the motorcycles. If caught speeding by police and detained/delayed your race time will NOT be given back. If caught speeding by Romaniacs organisers, speeding time penalties will be added to you race time.
A short explanation video - How to display SPEED on your GPS

Warning: Speeding time penalties WILL be applied at each speed check location = A competitor can therefore receive more than 1 speeding time penalty per day.
- There are speed signs in competitors GPS tracks.
20 means drive less than 20 km per hour
25 means drive less than 25 km per hour
30 means drive less than 30 km per hour
50 means drive less than 50 km per hour
If a competitor drives greater than 10 Kilometres(km) per hour over the speed limit they will be given a speeding time penalty which is added to their race''ride time''
> 10 km per hour over the speed limit = 5 minute speeding time penalty

Warning speed signs !
RED banner sign = START of speed limit zone
GREY + //// = END of speed limit zone

A short explanation video - How to display your SPEED on your GPS
Note:- It is the responsibility of the competitor to ensure they can view the travelling speed of their motorcycle

9.5 GPS Rules
Poor recording of GPS track : 10 minutes penalty OR a calculated penalty time after Race Director(s) analysis.
- No track recorded : 30 minutes penalty or a calculated penalty time after Race Director(s) analysis
- Repeat offenders = disqualification(DSQ) from the event.
- Riding off the track, taking short cuts, being more than 100 meters either side of the GPS track, the competitor will get a calculated penalty time provided through Race Director(s) analysis or will get a penalty of 60 minutes or more.
- If a competitor gets lost (leaves their race track) they must re-enter the track (cautiously at walking pace) using the same GPS route to avoid receiving time penalties.
- If a competitor gives thier GPS(s) to another competitor this must be communicated to GPS manager Andrei Dragan Radulet +40 741 617924 failure to do this will lead to a 15 minute penalty to the competitor receiving the GPS. .
- A competitors failure to hand in thier GPS at the 'GPS flag' at the 'Offroad finish' at or at the 'Competitor paddock checkpoint' will result in ''additional no track penalties'' and NO GPS track for following Offroad day.

9.6 At the Finish
- Not reaching the Offroad finish means a competitor has abandoned. (Has status AB)
- Not reaching the Offroad finish within the days maximum riding time means a competitor has abandoned. (Has status AB)
- Abandoning on two days means competitor disqualification. (Has status 2xAB=DSQ)
- GPS and Rescue map - The GPS should be dismounted by the competitor and handed-in with the rescue map at the GPS FLAG. Competitors must carry tools needed to dismount their GPS.
- A competitors failure to hand in their GPS and rescue map = huge time penalties in results.
Competitors may ride next day on the race track after disqualification ONLY on the discretion of the Race Director or race organisers.
These competitors will no longer be included in any official results.

9.7 Miscellaneous Rules
- Competitors racing against the race direction = disqualification
- Competitors not racing on the track in the competition class they entered will lead to becoming abandoned (AB) on that race day or event disqualified (DSQ).
Riding on banner/marked Red Bull Romaniacs tracks before the event is not permitted:
- Participants will be disqualified from competing in Red Bull Romaniacs.
- Participants entry fee will not be returned.
Competitors found using an 'Onboard personal camera' without permission will be disqualified from the race immediately.

9.8 Closing the race track
- As it is impossible to guarantee that the sweeper will pass by the exact spot where a motorcycle has broken down, it is the competitor's responsibility to provide the GPS c-ordinates of where he and the broken motorcycle is to Motorcycle breakdown 0040 731 270 881 - our breakdown assistance.
We will assist competitors with what they can do to repair their motorcycle to be able to continue or will assist them with information how to get off the mountains/tracks to a road safely, we are NOT providing a ''motorcycle recovery service'' from the track back to Sibiu.

If there is no phone signal at this location. Competitors should write down their race number, their GPS location on the ''First Aid medical assistance form' AND write a request for 'motorcycle and competitor breakdown assistance' then ask a passing competitor to take the form and phone-in the details to Motorcycle breakdown 0040 731 270 881 when there is a phone signal.
- The organisers motorcycle 'sweepers' close the enduro rallye race track.
- If a sweeper finds a 'broken down motorcycle and competitor' he will instruct the competitor what to do, and provide help whenever possible.
- Competitors who abandon their motorcycle before the passage of the sweeper, do so entirely at their own responsibility. The organisers can in no way be held responsible in case of damage or theft. Competitors who don’t follow the sweeper’s instructions, do so entirely at their own responsibility. However, the competitor may be held responsible for search and rescue costs, resulting from their decision of not obeying the sweeper’s instructions. Retrieval of a competitors machine left on the track cannot be guaranteed by the organiser, however, help will be provided whenever possible.

Day results

Start - The Offroad start time. This is the ''given time'' to competitors, it is their responsibility to present themselves at the Red Bull Arch starting line.
CP  - displays competitor arrival time at each CheckPoint.
Timebar time - Competitors much reach each checkpoint before the displayed time. If the timebar time is RED Example ~~12:05:58~~ then the competitor has arrived too late, they are now status AB = Abandoned and must leave the racetrack and follow the 'GPS Abandon track' and timebarred signs and go directly to the Offroad finish or Competitor paddock.
Ride time - track riding time between checkpoints.
Difference - The difference in ride time between competitors. +0s (= zero seconds) is the fastest competitor between checkpoints. Example = If the time shown against another competitor is +2m30s this means that competitor was +2 minutes 30 seconds slower than the fastest competitor.
Rank - the fastest competitor BETWEEN checkpoints.
If checkpoint(s) are missing = the race class does not enter that checkpoint (Example=CP4)

CP  SPin - arrival time at the CheckPoint Service Point in
SPout - departure time from the Service Point out - Competitors cannot leave the Service Point out BEFORE their given time.
The CP  SPin time is taken, then their SPout (departure time) is written on a sticker and applied to their motorcycle helmet.
Competitors can stay longer if they wish to rest or repair motorcycles, but this time is adding to their overall race time.

If there is a ''between checkpoints'' Liaison
CP  LPin - arrival time at the CheckPoint Liaison Point in
LP out - departure time at the Liaison Point out - Competitors are not allowed to leave the Liaison Point out BEFORE their given time.
The CP LPin time is taken, then the LP out (departure time) is written on a sticker and applied to their motorcycle helmet.
Warning: When driving in a Liaison competitors are NOT racing, so there is no need to speed and no benefits for doing so. It is the competitor’s responsibility to drive with due care and attention, all traffic laws apply and road legal conditions apply whether competitors are on a road, forest road or any track used by other members of the public.
Speeding Competitors may be stopped - financially fined by police, given a driving licence suspension and be 'event time penalized' for speeding.

Overall results

Total time - time taken each day is displayed 'TTQ/Prolog', Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 and the ''Overall event total=('TTQ/Prolog'+D1+D2+D3+D4)
Difference +0s (zero seconds) is the fastest competitor. Example= on day +2m43s this means the Differential time is +2 minutes 43 seconds slower than the fastest competitor.

Overall-by CP
LIVE - Overall race progress.
This example is Offroad day 4
Note: If CheckPoint(s) are missing (example CP3), this race class does go into that CheckPoint.

Code explanations
Day3 Finish = Overall results('TTQ/Prolog'+Day1+Day2+Day3)
10 = Overall event Ranking
17h10m18s = Overall Total race time
+2h8m17s = Overall Time ''difference from rank 1 competitor'

OVERALL race progress (the area shaded in grey) during offroad day 4
Rank - displays Overall event rank at each CheckPoint.(CP)
Total time - At each Offroad day 4 CheckPoint. The ''Total time for day 3+the between checkpoints ride times" are added together providing a continuous total 'event ride time'.  BUT: -
- IF a competitor receives a 'time penalty' or 'time bonus' then the "Total race time'' will be shown in the column ''TOTAL''  and a text explanation of the penalty or bonus time applied will be viewable.
Difference - shows 'OVERALL time difference" from the competitor ranked 1.

Offroad Day 4
Time - Start time, CP arrival times and SPout or LPout departure times.
Timebar - Competitors must reach the CheckPoint before the displayed time.
IF a timebar time is displaying RED and has a strike through line ~~12:05:58~~ then the competitor has arrived after the timebar time and now has status AB-(abandoned).
Ride time - The actual riding time between CheckPoints.
Difference - shows 'Offroad day 4' ride time difference. +0s (zero seconds) is the fastest between CheckPoints. If +2m30s this means was +2 minutes 30 seconds slower than fastest.
Rank for Offroad day 4 - the fastest competitor BETWEEN each CheckPoint

SP - Service Point
SPin - arrival time at the Service Point in
SPout - Service Point out departure time

LP - Liaision Point (between checkpoints)
LPin - arrival time at the Liaision Point in
LPout - Liaision Point out departure time

Start / CP

Start / CP is used ONLY when a race class does not start the RACE at the normal 'offroad start' location, first there is a "Transit track" to ride.
The race class departs the normal 'offroad start'' location at a given 'Transit track' start time. The Competitors are provided with the GPS track and are given a relaxed 'riding time' to arrive early at the location where their race start is.
An example
An Atom class competitor is provided with a 26 minute 'transit track'' to get to their RACING start at CP3
Transit start at: 08:10 (starting from the normal offroad start). A 26 minutes transit riding time has been provided, the Competitor follows the transit track on their GPS to the Atom class 'race start location' at CheckPoint 3.
Start / CP3 : 08:36 The Atom Competitor departs at 08:36. The RACING has begun.
