What is a 12 Car Rally?
Crews are given road rally style navigation, of varying difficulty according to their level of expertise, for a defined route. En route, they must record check boards on their Time Cards to avoid penalties. Additionally, they must visit Controls manned by marshals who record times, and who may give out route information. All 12 Car rallies are timed at an average speed of no more than 30mph and run on roads which remain open to normal traffic.
Competitors score for the championship on no more than 5 events in the year, with 12 points awarded to the winning driver and navigator, 11 for second and so on. In addition, each competitor must marshal on at least one event in the year in order to qualify. There are trophies awarded for best driver, navigator and overall competitor (the best competitor who both drives and navigates).
Competitors are classified according to the navigator's abilities as Novice, Semi-Expert, or Expert. We run a separate championship for Expert crews.
