This booklet contains the Supplementary Regulations and an Entry Form for all

The introduction of 12 Car Rallies many years ago was intended to encourage newcomers into rallying and today this is still very much the principle aim. In this series challenge beginners will be very welcome and a subsidy of £50.00 will be available on each round as a contribution towards their expenses. Those interested should contact Peter Turner who will explain what is involved in detail. Also precedence will be given to novice and beginners crew entries. There will be nine events your best six events will count for the overall and class awards. However to be eligible both of the crew must either marshal or help organise on one of the events in the challenge series. This will be managed again by Tim Loftus who will keep a results and marshals register which will be published on the Weald website and facebook page. We will adopt the system used on last season’s events. MTC0 in the start venue and TC1 start outside or near the start venue. This ensures all competitors arrive with time to spare and marshals will know how many starters there are. Entries for all events in this series challenge will open on publication of these regulations The Insurer we will use for third party cover this upcoming season will continue to be JELF The 2020 - 2021 Weald 12 Car Rally Challenge is a series of nine 12 Car Navigational Rallies and will comprise the following events: Round 1 Friday, 25th September 2020(Southern Promotion) Round 2 Friday, 16th October 2020(Borough 18 Promotion) Round 3 Friday, 13th November 2020(Sevenoaks Promotion) Round 4 Friday, 4th December 2020(Blackpalfrey Promotion) Round 5 Friday, 15th January 2021(Maidstone Promotion) Round 6 Friday, 5th February 2021(Guildford Promotion) Round 7 Friday, 5th March 2021(Eastbourne Promotion) Round 8 Friday, 26th March 2021(Bexley Promotion) Round 9 Friday, 23rd April 2021(Croydon Promotion) SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS To be read in conjunction with the Motorsport UK Motor Sport Regulations (2020 & 2021 Editions as appropriate) contained within the ‘Motorsport UK Yearbook – the “Blue Book”, - copies of which are held by the Club Secretaries and can be accessed searching for Motorsport UK Yearbooks on their website. 1.
