 12th Nov 2011: Ballynahinch & DMC Autumn Lanes Rally |
 |
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Ballynahinch & District Motor Club Ltd Autumn Tests 2011.
What is the Autumn Tests?
This event will consist of Navigation and Driving Tests (Special Tests). We have
organised this event to introduce newcomers into the sport. Navigation will be
straightforward with the competitive element being the driving tests. (Special Tests)
- Tests are run on private lanes, with a mixture of tarmac, concrete, gravel, mud
and grass. Tests start at one end of the lane, finishing at the other and passing
through the occasional farmyard.
- Tests will vary in length.
- In excess of 20 tests have been planned for the day.
- Cars starting at one minute intervals.
- Cars must stop astride finish line (same finish procedure as autotests)
- No reversing required.
- Bogey times are set at 30mph average, so there are some measures to try to
make sure no-one beats them.
- These measurers may include; chicanes, salaloms, code boards and the
occasional 360.
- There will be no ‘recce’ or walking of tests, crews will complete them blind.
All test information will be given in the form of diagrams, tulips and other
information.
Although there are sections on the public road, these are set to a very easy schedule (if
you arrive early you will be able to wait for your due time) and navigation will also be
straight forward.
