Read ahead
The co-driver checks the next instruction and any caution before the junction.
ROADBOOK GUIDE
READ THE ROADBOOK.
FOLLOW THE ROUTE.
A tulip diagram is a compact roadbook instruction that tells the crew where to go next. It combines with distance and route notes to keep driver and co-driver making the same decision.
Important: symbols, distance origins and instruction priority vary by event. The organiser’s roadbook, briefing and official on-route instructions always take priority.
WHAT IS A TULIP DIAGRAM?
ONE CLEAR VIEW.
THE NEXT DIRECTION.
A tulip diagram is not read in isolation. Follow the consecutive diagrams, total distance and section distance in order so the crew can prepare for the next junction.

CONFIRM WITH DISTANCE.
Match total and section distance
Using Trip 2 for total distance and Trip 1 for section distance makes the next tulip easier to anticipate.
Confirm the route
Distance is a guide. Match the diagram with the road and any official on-route instruction.
NEXT — PC TIMING

EZ RALLY TRIPMETER’S ROLE
THE DISTANCE.
ONE CLEAR SCREEN.
Trip 2 and Trip 1 keep the roadbook’s total and section distances clear at a glance.
Match the roadbook distance
Use Trip 2 for total distance and Trip 1 for section distance. The large display helps the co-driver compare the current reading with the next tulip quickly.
Calibrate before the rally
Match the tripmeter to the event’s reference distance before driving, then use the organiser’s roadbook and official instructions as the authority.
