Its classified as a touring road event under CAMS regs, or a Classic Rally. Scoring is made up of both speed sub events and navigation sections. So you navigate your way somewhere (based on the instructions and maps you are given) and when you get there you put your helmets on and drive fast. Then you do another navigation section to another speed bit etc etc. For this one, we are hoping for 8 speed sub events, and 3-4 navigation sections.

Both crew will need a L2S licence, helmets and std sprint apparel will be adequate. Its meant for road cars but there will be a few dedicated rally cars entered. Cars only need the most basic safety items, like extinguishers, first aid kit and safety triangles.

If you have any more questions, ask away.

Wow sounds really good Ted, (having just moved up from Syd) I'm amazed at how many street based events are on up here!

Will definately be watching this thread,
Cheers

And these boys want more competition. They somehow keep getting rid of the blown MX5s.

The blown ones keep leaving because the rest aren't any competition. :D

You could enter an audi TT but then it would be a sure thing ... that you won't win. :P

Drag may be the operative term here mate... :oops: :mrgreen:

Seriously guys, get a licence, a helmet and get out there, it's loads of fun. The Coastal Challenge (run earlier this year) was the same type of event and there are some pics/vids in a post further down the page. If you're not sure, come along to the info night, say g'day and you'll get a very good idea of what happens - there are always plenty of people willing to help you out with info and advice. And besides we've got to hold off the turbo AWD crowd... :D

Cheers,

I promised Rhys that it would only be used for gentle stuff, like a round of the Queensland Rally Championship or something! I can honestly say that it hasn't turned a wheel since it got here. Driving it here was enough for me, first the 13B turbo R100 wanting a drag in Salisbury, then the SS Commodore wanting one in Nathan, and the ambulance fair right up the clacker of those twin pipes at the Kessels Rd lights. This car is bait!! I am starting to think that Rhys is some sort of street racing hoon who has a few kills wanting retribution.

Somehow Cal, I think you also happen to have a blown one in your garage. Drag that out for a run.

I took the MPS to QR yesterday, its a rapid little luxo cruiser. Now I am harbouring dirty thoughts!
