13th Nov 2010 Autumn Lanes Rally

Welcome to the Ballynahinch & District Motor Club Ltd Autumn Lanes Rally 2010.

What is the Autumn Lanes Rally?

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.

I heard this was great crack , how did you get on Mark ?

Hi Trish,

Finished 3rd overall and 1st in class. There was a lot of driving between tests, a lot. Covered 160 miles over 18 tests. Only 6 or 7 different venues, and all tests were the same when revisited. It was a good effort for the clubs first try at such an event and its great to see clubs taking an interest in this kind of motorsport.

Well done Mark, great result for you.
