This will be the third running of the friendly yet competitive challenge to test the constituent clubs’ many 12 car road rally competitors over a longer event. It is hoped it will continue to further the ties between these active motor clubs and also strengthen the established and increasing amount of motorsport in the area. Most of all, it will be fun and an excellent way of cheering us all up in the miserable days after Christmas and new year.

This is an inter-club competition and entrants will be nominated by the AMSC member clubs. Each club may enter a maximum of 1 master, 1 expert and 2 novice crews. The classes are defined by the experience level of the navigator as defined in ASR 6 below. Should no master crews be available for a club they may enter up to 2 expert + 2 novices, 1 expert + 3 novices or 4 novice crews. Should no expert crews be available a club may enter 1 master + 3 novices. No club may enter more than 1 master crew. The highest-finishing 3 crews from each club will count towards the team score. Should any club enter fewer than 3 crews the remaining entry places up to the maximum of 20 will be allocated to reserves on a first-come first-served basis but these crews will not count towards any team score.

The five clubs taking part will be: West Suffolk, Eastern Counties, Chelmsford, SCCoN and King’s Lynn.

Sevenoaks and District Motor Club will be running a 20/20 road rally on April 1^st and 2^nd 2017.

The event will be a navigational road rally restricted to 20 cars with 20 time controls. Approximate distance is 100 miles – around 3 ½ hours starting at 10.00PM. The format will be similar to the recent Sevenoaks 12 car rallies; but longer. Navigation will be very straightforward, the challenge coming from the roads of the North Downs.

There will be three classes as follows;-

1. Beginners – for navigators who have never done a road rally before or who only started as a beginner during the 2016/17 twelve car season. They will receive a marked map at sign on.
2. Novices – For navigators who have not had a top three finish in any other road rally (including 12 car rallies) before the start of the 2016/17 twelve car season OR who have not done so in the past ten years. They will receive most of the navigation at sign on, with only a couple of sections in sealed envelopes.
3. Experts – for navigators who do not qualify for either of the above. They will have sealed envelopes.

The events is open to all members of Weald Motor Club.

A number of people have informally said they would be interested in taking part. Would those people be kind enough to let us know again if they would like an entry.

We will also need plenty of help manning controls so any offers of help would be very welcome.
