Rally Edition 2021

The Dinaric Rally was meant and organized as a Cross-Country Rally.

Cross-Country Rally is a sporting event that takes place on a variety of grounds and is designed to demonstrate the skills, endurance of competitors and reliability of their machines. In addition, as one of the most important distinguishing factors, in this discipline competitors prove themselves in the skill of navigation.

The rally takes place on different terrains in natural landscapes. The organizer carefully chooses the terrain but usually does not change the terrain in any way and does not affect its appearance.

Some common landscapes are:

• Mountains, and rocky terrain
• Rivers, dry riverbeds, muddy paths
• Open public roads
• Natural vegetation, shrubs, tall grass, forests
• Asphalt roads and offroad
• Terrain with snow conditions

Diaric rally season 2021 event will last a total of 6 days and consists of scrutineering

Cross-Country Motorcycle Rallies are generally dangerous. Participants should not underestimate the high risk of an accident, injuries and even death! It has happened that some people who have participated in a similar cross country rally in the past have been seriously injured, permanently disabled or even lost their lives.

Dinaric Rally is not a tourist trip!

Despite the organization’s efforts to minimize the risks, each participant is expected to be aware of the fact:

• that they will take part in a challenging adventure that takes place in remote and inaccessible areas, where the assistance and medical care, in the event of an accident, are significantly impeded and limited.
• that during the rally, the rider’s health and life can be put at risk.
• that the increased risk is what makes this rally an adventure and therefore is an essential reason why a rider participates in this rally.

It is understood that all competitors, teams, officials and other parties participating in the Dinaric Rally and accompanying events (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Dinaric Rally”), accept on their own behalf, on behalf of their employees and agents, that they will abide by all the rules and regulations prescribed by the organizer of the Dinaric Rally.

It is the responsibility of each competitor and / or team to ensure that all accompanying persons are made aware of the rules of the rally.

All persons who in any way participate in the Dinaric Rally or accompanying events and events related to the rally at any time, during the rally must wear and be able to show the appropriate pass.

Acts and procedures for which the responsible officials have assessed that they do not comply with the Dinaric rules and regulations – or have assessed them as unsportsmanlike, or that they are against the best interests of the sport and / or events – are subject to disciplinary measures prescribed and implemented by the Dinaric Rally organizer.

Dinaric is organized in the “Cross Country Rally Raid” format.

The entire Dinaric 2021 event will last a total of 6 days.

The first day and half of the second day are reserved for scrutineering.
The second half, the second day the Prologue will be ridden. At the Prologue, riders will have the opportunity to present their skills before the public and they will fight for starting positions in the first stage of the race.

The first stage of the rally starts on the third day.

Competitors will ride a total of four days,a different stage each day.

The visual identity (logo) of the Dinaric Rally as well as the verbal identity, copywrite, photographies and all the official graphics of the Dinaric Rally are the property of the organizer.

Any unauthorized use of any official graphics, markings or elements of the visual and verbal identity of the rally is prohibited.

In case of need or desire to use, it is mandatory to request the permission of the organizer, through official contacts.

The Dinarides are one of the most untamed and rough mountain ranges in Europe. They extend nearly 645 km across the western Balkan Peninsula, from the Julian Alps in Italy to the Šar and Korab Mountains in Albania and are the largest karst area in the world. The Dinaric Alps are mainly formed of Dolomite, Limestone, Sandstone and Conglomerates. The whole area is sparsely populated. One of the most prominent features of the Dinarides are the numerous karst rivers of exceptional beauty. As you might have already guessed, riding through this terrain is a unique and memorable experience.

The rally caters to all riders! It is a challenging adventure for small single cylinder bikes, larger motorcycles and quads. The dynamic tempo of the rally and the constant change in scenery will surely quench your thirst for adventure. It all happens so quickly! At one moment you are destroying your tires on razor sharp limestone and the next you are riding through lush meadows. Then, you are drowning in deep mud and around the corner you are bathing and drinking water from crystal clear karst rivers. And the views? You guessed it; the views are breathtaking!

We have incorporated high standards of environmental protection into the rules of the rally. All riders and participants will be required to adhere to the environmental protection code that has also been implemented in the scoring system.

We love nature! Riding a motorcycle off paved roads is a passion that builds on our biggest and primary passion, which is to be out in nature, to travel and to explore.

The organization of the rally allows us to rise awareness, within a controlled environment, and encourage the conservation and protection of nature among the motorcycle riders as, de facto one of the largest subcultures in the Western world!

Ecological aspects embedded in the principles and rules of the Dinaric Rally:

• We donate a significant portion of the incomes of the rally to the local organizations dedicated to nature preservation and protection.
• The Dinaric Rally 2020 will contribute to the afforestation of the fire-affected areas. A
• ll waste, used oil, motorcycle parts and similar, will be disposed by the organizer according to modern principles and available disposal methods.
• Compliance with legal provisions, related to the conservation and protection of nature it strongly recommended.
• All vehicles must have db killer.
• Participants are required to adhere to a defined route as wheels can damage and destroy grass and crops.
• All participants must absolutely respect nature and all living creatures that they encounter with during the rally!

We are passionate about riding, but we are first and foremost passionate about nature since nature preservation is our primary motive.

For thousands of years, the Dinarides have served as a shelter for people running from all sorts of troubles – from rampaging conquering armies to unbearable life in civilization. Here, high in the harsh mountains, cut by limestone blades, spiked by bramble and wind-blown by powerful Bura wind strikes, the Balkan mentality was shaped. The locals, just like the extraordinary natural beauty of the Dinarides, are what make this adventure unique!

Absolute and a priori respect for the local population, tradition, culture, customs and way of life is expected and will be strictly required from every rally participant!

Stages or Etapes are designed so that all experienced riders can complete them safely and on time. However, the terrain in the Dinaric Alps is demanding and many other factors such as weather forecasts or local unforeseen events can affect riders and their vehicles.

The organizer reserves the right to change the planned stage / track at any time and inform the riders about it in time.

The trails consist of various roads and paths including asphalt, macadam, old neglected roads etc. and offroad sections.

The stages are divided into Special Stages (SS – Selective Sections) and Liaison (LS – Road Sections or Connections), which you can read more about in the chapter “Timing and scoring”

A prologue designed as a circular track in the form of a “Super Special Spectacle” will be ridden on Dinarica 2021. The track will be circular and organized near the rally camp (bivouac) and will be able to follow the hungry.

The length of this stage will be up to 20 km.

On the Super Special spectacle stage, riders will fight for starting positions in tomorrow’s first stage of the rally and will show their skills and experience.

This track is open to spectators and a larger number of spectators and fans along the track are expected.

The timing will be run by racebase.pro – Dinaric Rally Timing Partner.
