1. INTRODUCTION - WELCOME
Following last year’s 55th Acropolis Rally and only a few days before the first WRC round of 2009, a lot has happened in Greece,
across the world, as well as in the structure and operation of the WRC. The global economic crisis is affecting our lives, making
us more sceptical and more cautious of our future choices and decisions.

What has not been affected and must not change is the desire and constant effort to improve our quality of life. Keeping this goal
in mind, the Organisers of the Acropolis Rally are persistently improving, modifying and finding alternative ways to organise one
of the most classical rounds of the World Rally Championship. Every year we wish to bring-in elements and choices that will
make the Acropolis Rally more interesting for everyone involved. More challenging and fast for our competitors, yet spectacular
and easy to follow for the thousands of guest spectators, as well as the millions of TV viewers.

It is for this reason, that immediately after the conclusion of the 55th Acropolis Rally, the Organisers declared a contest between
five candidate-cities that could host next year’s event. The town of Loutraki was finally chosen, giving the option-among other
things, to use several special stages in the region of the Peloponnese. A region of Greece, that in the 1980’s hosted some of the
most well-known and reputable special stages of the WRC.

The town of Loutraki will host the Rally Headquarters, as well as the Media Centre and the Service Park. However, during the first
day of the event, competitors will move north towards some already familiar and respectable stages, but yet quite far from the
main Service Park, therefore a Remote Service Zone will be organised in the town of Itea (an area known from previous Acropolis
Rallies). This choice was essential in order for the thousands of fans of the Acropolis Rally, to spectate their favourite crews in
special stages like Evangelistria, Bauxites, and Drossohori!

Rest assured that we, the Organisers of the Acropolis Rally, the Mayor, the Local Council and the people of the town of Loutraki
will do our best to accommodate you in a region that embraces all the essentials of a Greek holiday destination, during a time of
year when the Greek weather and sea are at their very best!

As always, we remain at your disposal for any further information you may need, and we look forward to welcoming you to the
56th Acropolis Rally!

9.2 ACCREDITATION PRINCIPLES

Editors of publications are asked to conform to the following principles to ensure that media accreditation is restricted
to professional journalists and photographers.

1. The FIA considers the "Media" pass to be a working tool to be used only by bona fide members of the press.
Publishers, marketing personnel, sub-editors, staff of the publication's secretariat, etc. cannot be accredited as
Media.
2. The FIA only accredits publications:
a) with a minimum circulation whose size and quality fulfil the criteria of the FIA
b) with a format and quality which fulfil the criteria of the FIA
c) which are on sale to the public via retail outlets (trade, club or internal company magazines will normally not
be accredited). However, at the sole discretion of the FIA, and where the quality and circulation criteria justify
their consideration, such magazines may be eligible for accreditation on a case by case basis.
3. TV and radio, websites and other electronic media must send their application to:
ISC Accreditation Service
Mayward House, 46-52 Pentonville Road, London N1 9HF, Great Britain
Tel (+44) 20 7584 7584/ Fax (+44) 20 7502 5621

4. Under no circumstances will advertising, public relations agencies or similar companies and organisations be
accredited as media, nor will the Organisers issue any accreditation to representatives (press officers or
otherwise) of sponsors, suppliers, engine suppliers, teams, drivers, etc.
5. The FIA WRC Media Delegate may accept requests from teams with seeded drivers for the accreditation of press
personnel, with a maximum of one person per team.
6. The FIA will only accredit press from outside the country in which the event is held. National press must apply
to the National Press Officer (e.g. Greek press applying for the Acropolis Rally of Greece should apply to the
National Press Officer, while press from countries other than Greece should apply to the FIA).
7. FIA Permanent Credential Holders requesting a Substitute and/or an Additional Pass must apply to the FIA.
8. The central and local offices of the major international press agencies (AP, AFP, Reuters, ANSA, UPI, DPA, LUSA,
BELGA, JIJI, KYODO, EFE, Press Association, SAPA, Australian AP, APA, etc.) will always be accredited by the FIA.

ACCREDITATION CRITERIA
The FIA will allocate annual permanent Media accreditation to publications intending to publish reports for every FIA
World Rally Championship event during the season.
Press passes can also be allocated on a rally-by-rally basis to general news, specialist, business and lifestyle
consumer publications that do not intend to publish conventional rally reports but whose coverage is considered to
be of promotional benefit to the sport.
Exceptionally, a maximum of three representatives (journalists and/or photographers) per publication may be
accredited for any one round of the FIA World Rally Championship. Agencies are subject to the same requirements
as publications.

2009 RALLY GUIDE 1 11

 All applicants must fulfil the following basic criteria:
- Coverage
For a daily newspaper, a substantial amount of coverage for each event is required. For example, an introductory
article in the Thursday edition, follow-up articles in Friday, Saturday and, where applicable, Sunday editions, plus
a rally report in the Monday edition.
For a weekly or monthly publication, a substantial amount of coverage for each event is required and a major
portion of the overall content should be on the subject of WRC.

- Quality
The highest standards of fairness and accuracy are expected as a minimum quality requirement from the press.

- Circulation
Accreditation decisions are based on the relative ‘media market’ in the country of the applicant. As such, the
usual minimum circulation for a national weekly or monthly publication is 20,000 copies. For a national daily the
minimum circulation is 50,000 copies.
Freelance journalists must apply for credentials via their own agencies. The onus is on the freelance applicant to
prove the supply of regular stories to at least five publications.
Photo agencies must be able to prove that the pictures have been regularly sold to publications matching the FIA
criteria and have been paid for at the normal commercial rate. A publication must be able to prove that the
pictures published are the original work of the publication's accredited photographer.

RALLY-BY-RALLY ACCREDITATION PROCEDURE

For rally-by-rally passes, the FIA will only accredit press from outside the country in which the event is held. National
publications must apply via the event’s national press office. National publications which are accredited on a
permanent basis and wish to apply for additional or substitute passes must apply directly to the FIA.
Applicants must submit sample proofs of coverage to the FIA Communications Department at the latest three weeks
prior to the first day of the even, that is May 20.
Publications or agencies applying for a rally-by-rally photographer accreditation must supply evidence of
independent coverage of a minimum of 15 pictures per pass issued at each event they have been accredited for in
the previous year’s Championship. The number of international press photographer passes will usually not exceed
30 at each event.
The number of national "press photographer" passes will not exceed 12 at each event.
Promotional photographers for teams, sponsors, etc. who do not comply with the above criteria may apply for
accreditation to ISC (address below).

Accreditation decisions are made by the FIA WRC Media Delegate and Photographers’ Delegate according to the
following procedures:
1. Applications must be received at least three weeks (May 20) prior to the first day of the relevant event and should

If a change of representative(s) is to be made, please notify the FIA Communications Department as early as

FIA passes for any other purposes, including journalism for Television and Radio networks.

If a decision is disputed an individual application will be referred to the Director of Communications for final approval.

requested.

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.
