Help!! We’re about to start our first ever hill climb season and are trying to understand the rules/regs on ignition/fuel cut-off and battery isolation when applied to the Road car category.
Our little 07 Clio 197 has a Start/Stop button - does this cover the bases and if so does it need to be highlighted?
Many thanks in advance

Just an 'ON/Off' sticker is all you need. Get a scrutineers decal sheet from someone like Demon Tweeks.

If you haven't already done so, you should wrap some yellow tape around the main battery earth lead, fit your tow hook and obviously a timing strut.

The sticker sheets are n9t up to date, if you use the turnon/off sticker on a sheet you should be fine.

Yellow tape on neg battery lead and towing eye with location arrow front and back, and obviously timing strut and numbers

Good luck with the rear towing eye (there isn't one on a Clio 197).
