1. INTRODUCTION - WELCOME
Dear competitors, dear guests,

The Acropolis Rally Organizing Team has the pleasure to welcome you all in our 59th edition. As always, we are working hard to take a
step forward in our event and the World Rally Championship itself!

Without doubt, it is a difficult year worldwide, but nevertheless an exciting and intenseWorld Rally Championship. Exciting with a new
Manufacturer entering,another making its debut and top drivers changing teams. Intense,with new challenges forTeams,Promoters,Or-
ganisers and the FIA,working together and closer than ever before to bring new quality,excitement and attraction to the world of rallying.

The beautiful coastal town of Loutraki will host for the 3rd consecutive year the Acropolis Rally. The “Club Hotel Casino Loutraki” will
once again act as the ideal HQ and Media Centre. The Service Park will be based once more in the “Military School of Engineering”, prom-
ising to give rally fans, more than ever, what they would expect in a Rally Village, when at the same time, give our sponsors and everyone
involved, the opportunity to be promoted in the best way, to large number of visitors throughout the event.

The Ceremonial start of the event is on Thursday 24 May from the centre of Athens, in front of the “Zappion”, where the first car will start
at 17:00. Action will kick off before the day ends with a 25 km special stage.

On Friday, the “rally culture” lovers will have the opportunity to visit some of the most classic stages in Greece. Rally fans will enjoy the
essence of the event in a well-known area, with stages like “Bauxites” and “Drossohori” and the Remote Service Zone in Itea. It is the
longest day of the event, setting a challenge for Competitors,Teams and Organisers, at the same time being yet a step towards longer
events, visiting more parts of the country than the previous years. But who can deny that this is the “unique“ colour of the Acropolis Ral-
ly, hard and demanding as usual.

Saturday is again a long day but closer to the rally base, with some beautiful stages in the Peloponnese region and the introduction of a
new and very interesting stage of 21 km,“Ziria”.

Sunday will be run in the same stages as last year, very close to Loutraki, giving the opportunity to rally fans to see action in the Service
Park and celebrate with the winners in the finish ceremony.

We are always at your disposal to hear comments and suggestions and we will continue to run a competitor friendly event, as we always
do.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Competitors, Manufacturers,Teams, Media Representatives, FIA Officials, Rally Volun-
teers, Spectators and every single person that will join us in this magnificent sporting celebration.

Welcome to Greece, welcome to Acropolis Rally 2012!

8.1 Teams whose country of origin is a member of the EU, but enter Greece from a non EU country, must possess the following documents:
Document No 3 of the Export Declaration (EDE 2 issued in 4 copies) or the document INF 3. These documents are issued when a EU ve-
hicle leaves a EU country for a non-EU country.
When arriving in Greece the Greek custom authorities will issue a temporary Import Declaration that will be requested upon exiting the
country.

8.2 There are no custom formalities for Teams whose country of origin is a member of the EU and enter Greece from a EU country.

8.3 Teams or private competitors whose country of origin is NOT a member of the European Union, are required to provide the Greek cu-
stoms with either:
a. A CARNET ATA, which simplifies custom formalities
or
b. Teams must bring along a detailed list, signed by the accompanying person in charge, in two (2) copies.
This list should include:
1. Full name / address of the person in charge. If a company owns the vehicles, this list should include the details of the company and must
be signed by the authorised person.
2. Full name of each driver of each vehicle.
3. Value of all items to be imported.
4. Estimated period of stay in Greece.
5. Commercial description of all equipment carried in each imported vehicle (details about each vehicle, number and type of tyres, spare
parts etc).
Custom authorities will legalize both copies and will issue a V.F.P card, (VEHICLE FREE PASSAGE), for Greece in two copies. One of these
copies, attached to the legalized list, will be held at the customs office, the other copy will be delivered to the person in charge.
In order that vehicles and equipment be released from customs, upon departure from Greece, the person in charge must hand in these two
documents to the customs authorities, which will verify that all items imported are actually exported, even if they are damaged or destroyed,
avoiding thus the payment of duties or taxes.
