Classic car rally
Also: Classic rally, Historic rally
A rally for historic vehicles. Most of them are about regularity and navigation rather than speed.
A classic car rally is an event where historic vehicles drive a set route. It is almost always a regularity rally or a mix of regularity and navigation.
What to expect
The range is wide. Some are relaxed one-day drives with a few easy tests. Others run over several days with hundreds of kilometres, many tests and a demanding roadbook. Scenic roads, stops at points of interest and a shared dinner with prize giving are typical.
Who can enter
Most events accept cars from a certain year of manufacture. Each organiser sets that cut-off. Some only take pre-war cars, others welcome younger classics too. There are often classes by age and by permitted equipment, for example a class that only allows mechanical clocks.
Scoring
Crews are scored on their deviation at time controls and tests. Some events use a coefficient to balance out the age of the car.
