As you may already know, this years event is scheduled for Saturday 25th July, regs and entry form can be found at http://www.qubmc.com/
The format for this years event is similar to last years very successful rally, with only a few minor changes.
Things we've kept:
- It looks like we have all last years land-owners on board (silage permitting, in one case!)
- Similar test formats and diagrams: no reversing needed, pylons marked with letters etc.
- Scrutiny as for a normal navigation rally, with one exception: NO GRAVEL/OFF-ROAD TYRES (there will be more info on this rule appearing on this blog, if you are in any doubt about tyre eligibility, please contact us ASAP)
Things we're changing:
- We are hoping to add another lane (approx half a mile, all tarmac), but this has yet to be confirmed
- We are adding an airfield test. This will look a bit more like an autotest than the others, but its still all-forwards, with a very simple layout and clearly labelled pylons. It is NOT our intention to catch people out with overly complex layouts and deceptive diagrams!
- The weather...hopefully...
I hope to update this blog regularly with event news and information, and your comments are welcome!
