Road Rallying/12 Car Rallies
All manner of events are run under the umbrella title of ‘rallies’. However the most popular are simply known as road rallies. The essence of this type of event is to maintain a time schedule through a series of control points by following route instructions which often put a great emphasis on navigation. These events take place on normal public roads, almost always at night. All competing cars must be properly taxed, tested and insured. A variation on the road rally is the 12 car rally, the most common form of this event.
Autotests
This is one of the cheapest and most enjoyable forms of motorsport, where you can use a perfectly standard road car, but where driving ability is vital. Cars compete against the clock. The driver must negotiate a set route between, through and around various obstacles, normally plastic pylons or cones. Usually, some parts of the course will be tackled in reverse. The surface is normally smooth, often tarmac. The entry is divided into classes, according to each car’s size and technical specification (front and rear wheel drive, for example). An annual British Autotest Championship is held which includes our Championship Round.
Minimum Requirements: Any roadworthy car, you must be at least 17 years old to drive.
