Stage Notes Guidelines and Disclaimer
Stage notes and associated videos from Jemba AB / Dolium Pty Ltd are intended to give a
general description of the roads at the time of doing the route survey. They do not advise
the speed at which to drive the road.
Crews choosing to use this information do so entirely at their own risk.
Crews MUST conduct their own reconnaissance of the roads to check & update the notes
and identify any hazards. The responsibility rests with the crew and driver to traverse the
stages safely and within their capabilities at all times .
While every effort is taken with the preparation and production of the notes and video, no
responsibility can be accepted for their accuracy or suitability .
Any party involved in the design of the notes and video disclaim any and all liability for any
incidents alleged to have resulted from or to be connected in any manner to the use of this
or other supplied information.
Jemba Stage Notes - Description and Glossary
Note: For the AMH Automotive Group Rally of the Bay the Notes are
prepared to have Grade number given before direction and the +/- shown
after direction
Grade of corner
The grade of the corner is measured and describes the relative speed through a corner. There
are 16 graduations in the corner definitions with 6 primary grades and then plus or minus
refinements. + after the direction means a slightly FASTER corner. - after the direction
means a slightly SLOWER corner.
Additional descriptors for a corner are added after grades and direction in the order they
apply. Consequently 5Llg> is a little different from 5L>lg.

Duration of corner
Information for duration is given after corner direction.
Information
Length in metres is less than a normal corner of indicated grade but at least
same angle.
Normal duration
More duration than normal
Very long duration
Extra Long - Even longer duration (actual length may also be given)
Note

Changing Corner.
Information
Note
”Tightens”or ”Closes”. Corner becomes slower. The slower grade will be indicated if
there is a difference of two or more steps in the grades Eg: 6L >4,
>
”Opens”. As above but indicating a faster grade. Grade is not given for the
continuation.
<
Note that changing corners will give a longer combined corner than the basic corner.
Cautions - warnings (refer NRC Article 3.2 for definitions)
Information (same principle as in Road Books – but Cautions used in Jemba notes
may not always be the same as in the Road Books or on the roadside signs)
Note
”Caution”.
!
”Double Caution”.

Distances/Straights
Distance from start of stage is given in the left-hand column at the start of each line of the
notes. The distance remaining on the stage is given below the overall distance inside ( ).
Length of straights are measured:
• from the exit of a corner (when the road becomes straight) to the entry of the next
corner (when the road ceases to be straight).
• to/from the peak of Cr as seen from a distance
• to the peak of a Cr as seen from a distance, but from when you see the surface of the
road after a lgCr.
Information
Note
There is no discernable straight between corners. i.e. 4L into 3L
into
There is a discernable straight between corners but it is less than 30 m. The
distance of Straights shorter than 30 m are only given when particularly
important, usually before or after crests Eg. Cr 20 4L
NOTE: Some crews may prefer for the Co-Driver to call “AND” between
these calls to denote there is no given distance. This is your decision
Eg: 3L & 5R
Distance (approx.) of mostly straight road in metres between corners/objects.
NOTE: On the longer straights Co-Drivers should Zero Tripmeter at start
of Straight to better advise the driver as you near the end of Straight.
A straight with less severe corners, eg. kinks 150. For example kinks may be
used in lieu of 6Lshort into 6Rshort into 6Lshort into 6Rshort
30, 50, 70,
100, 120,
150, 180,
200, 250...
kinks
Crest (brow)
Information
Crest/brow. May be enough to unsettle the car at higher speeds
Small Crest/brow. Possible loss of vision but minor effect on car
Big crest. Road falls away steeply - big loss of grip
Jump, car may leave the ground at higher speeds
Bump, the road surface may be uneven as a result of ruts, mounds
or rocks poking up or other situations which upset handling
- as above but typically across full width of road
Big bump, severe bump (potentially car damaging)
Dip, road in a shallow V shape

Over
Information
”Over”. Usually associated with Cr which begins before end of a
corner so the crest may cause bad grip through the corner. e.g.
3L/smCr. May also be used with a bridge or other objects (e.g. /][
or stay L/Cr).
Note

Bridge
Don’t go wide at exit of corner (“nar” may also be used for this)
Follow the road left or right (e.g. keep 5L)
Turn into another road or track (not always used at junctions)
Narrow (if at a turn may indicate trees close on exit)
Off camber
