Pacenotes are used to guide the crew of a Rally car through a Special Stage, Test, Prime, Selective or Selectif, hopefully in a quicker and safer fashion and are used in all Classes of Motorsport and Rallying, whether Club, Clubman, National, International or World Rally Championship WRC status.
Pace Notes are made prior to the actual event by a recce or reconnaissance crews, these can be either the Driver and Co-Driver or Co-Pilot or Navigator or by the event's designated Pacenote provider, e.g. Patterson Pacenotes. When Pacenoting, the recce car drives the Stage at a slow speed and whoever is the experienced member of the crew assesses the road in front and dictates to the Pace Notes editor, who in turn writes down the Notes in a clear and precise way. These can either be in the number or descriptive system, whichever the crew are happy at using.
Pacenotes can be made in Irish, English, Welsh, Scottish, German, Finnish, Swedish, Nordic, Danish, Dutch, French, Italian, Russian, American, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Cypriot, Maltese, Australian, Canadian, Swiss, Japanese, Chinese, Austrian, Austrailian, New Zealand, Madeira, Polish, Brazillian, Meican, Hungarian, Turkish, Indonesian, Estonian, Uruaguan, Indian, Taiwanese, Korean, Romanian, Malaysian, Israeli, Latvian, Colombian, Ukrainian, Latvian, Nigerian, Venezualian, Icelandic, Bulgarian, Peruvian, Slovenian, Yugoslavian, Bosnian, Tunisian, Ethopian, Algerian languages.

Once the Stage is Pacenoted, certain Rallies allow the Competitors to have the option of trying out their Rally Pace Notes at a slightly increased speed, but no way at Rally speed. These sections are usually observed for any form of dangerous or excessive speed and this pre-practise allows the Competitor to adjust or upgrade their Notes, thus making it much safer at true Rally speeds. When the crew is satisfied with their modified Notes, these are usually re-written and compiled in order of Stage use, into a Rally Pacenote Book. Some of the more professional outfits have mobile equipment for producing 'easily read' Notes, but whoever or whatever system is used, it is imperitive they are double checked to ensure they read exactly as the original un-modified versions.

Naturally all Stages are not run in daylight, therefore you have to equip your Rally Car with the right equipment to be able to read your Pace Notes in the dark by lighting or illuminating your Pacenotes. So check out www.pacenotes.com or www.pacenotes.eu
