• It says in the rules they need to somehow collect proof of their route/position with pictures of key turns/reference points/shops receipts

  • Yeah, and here's the rest of it too:

    The race will be tracked through an online tracking service, using rider supplied GPS tracking devices (SPOT, or similar). Final placings will be based on GPS tracking data and racers will not be included in final results if a tracker is not used. Riders are responsible for ensuring the correct use of their tracking devices. Riders with devices that are switched off or not active for lengthy periods of time may be excluded from the final results.

    Riders must ensure their tracking devices (SPOT or other) are operating correctly at all times. Riders should realise that turning off a tracking device could be seen as a way of hiding behaviour that is against the rules. If a rider’s tracking device is not functioning then that rider should be extra diligent in collecting records to prove their location at all times. This could take the form of photographs at key intersections, keeping Garmin (or other) tracking files for later proof, collecting receipts at resupply points, etc. Riders should be concerned about proving their location at all times.

    Atleast in TCR you're still allowed to turn the tracker off when sleeping, for safety and to save batteries. And in TCR you can get a new tracker from the checkpoints, but this race doesn't have those.
