Hi Folks.. I'm looking for a Navigator for this event. If you are interested please let me know. I'll be driving the retro starlet.

Thanks.. Piers

Hi Piers,
Fergal Collins is looking for a navigators seat. He can be contacted on 086 6039180, probably best to txt and let him reply as he can be a bit hard to get hold of. He has done the navigation course and is an experienced marshal.

I have been thinking that as there is a larger than usual number of drivers looking for navigators would it be an idea to have interested parties listed so that drivers could contact them directly and make their own arrangements?

Regards

Bash

Would anyone be able to give a kind of 'Beginners Guide To Selectives' ? Smile

I'd like to know what to expect and what makes this event different to a MVAT?

Thanks,

J.

One of the experienced lads will probably tell you a lot more than be but this is my understanding of them.

Firstly, selectives are usually a lot longer that MV tests, theres a bit on the ALMC website that says that the selectives could be from 2 up to 19 miles on this event, and they are also all forward motion.
Secondly, the aim is not to do them as quickly as possible as on MVATs, but to average a certain speed over the section. There will be passage controls (for timing) and all the usual pylons, boxes and chicanes along the section.
You don't 'learn' a selective like a test, but rather your navigator will tell you where to go, I think tulip diagrams are mainly going to be used for the ALMC event. In terms of the terrain, it seems it will be a lot like Declan's Multi-Venue, farmyards, lanes, tracks etc.

Take a look at the regs for the event under General Route and the link below for a bit more info, hope this helps anyway...
