Classic Drive Checklist
A driver-friendly pre-run checklist for RetroTorque route packs: the sort of thing that makes a route feel safe, calm and properly organised rather than just “follow a line on a map”.

Before leavingCar and crew
- Fuel level checked; EV/phone batteries topped up where relevant.
- Tyres, lights, wipers and coolant/oil given a sensible look over.
- Passenger or co-driver has the route pack open before departure.
- Breakdown cover, insurance and emergency contact details available.
At the venueStart routine
- Arrive early enough for coffee, briefing and regrouping.
- Reset trip meter at the stated start point.
- Agree regroup points and what to do if separated.
- Leave quietly and respectfully, especially from villages or pubs.
On the roadRoute etiquette
- Drive within limits; the route is a tour, not a race.
- Keep sensible spacing and avoid pressuring other drivers.
- Use the mobile drive mode or printed roadbook safely — ideally with a passenger.
- Park considerately at viewpoints, cafés and pub stops.
Next phase idea: this checklist can later become a printable page inside each Drive Pack, with route-specific warnings, fuel stops, low-slung-car notes and venue parking instructions automatically inserted.
