The total distance of the Rally Poland Historic was 968 km, which was divided into 5 legs centred on town of Wieliczka, near to the historic city of Krakow. The route included 589km of regularity tests on roads open to public traffic where the competitors aimed to keep an average speed of 50kph. The purpose of a Regularity Section on a Historic Road Rally is to test the crew's skill at maintaining a precise average speed over a defined route, usually on public roads. Each regularity section will have a Start Control, several Intermediate Time Controls and a Finish Point. The aim is to take the correct amount of time between each consecutive pair of timing controls. Being early or late at one control must usually be carried over and not made up, so at each intermediate control you can forget about your timing over the previous section and start again from scratch for the new section. The average speed the FIA Trophy for Historic Regularity Rallies is a maximum of 50kph.
