The vehicle must have passed an inspection as an eligible rally vehicle within the last 42 days.

• the vehicle details
• licensed certifier report (if required in the technical manual)
• vehicle import approval (if applicable)
• your details as the registered operator of the rally vehicle

More information

• Rally vehicles under the RVS may only operate on roads and road related areas:
  • during competition and liaison/transport stages of a sanctioned rally event
  • during testing of competition stages by approved organisation officials for a sanctioned rally event
  • during official training sessions for a sanctioned rally event
  • during a sanctioned public display and/or promotional activity
  • for course checking/establishment/survey of a rally route during preparation of a rally event (except if the rally vehicle’s electronic stability control has been disabled or removed)
  • for servicing and maintenance of a rally vehicle and associated testing under normal road rules and speed limits, and 
  • when driving to and from a sanctioned rally event and accommodation/place of residence.
• Conditional registration is not transferable. The vehicle's new owner/operator has to apply for a new conditional registration. If a rally vehicle is sold or disposed of, you have to surrender the conditional registration.
