| Motorsport
is an exciting sport and anyone can participate! If you want
to be more involved than just spectating, clubs are eager
to have people involved in the organising and running of events.
Volunteer organisers are essential to any event, and there
can be as much sense of achievement at being part of a successful
event organisation team as there can be from being in the
actual winner’s team. |

BASIC EVENTS |
| |
ClubSport
events are competitions held usually on a road, circuit or
paddock, where the placings are decided by the time taken
to complete the course.
Basic
Events are those where competitors (including those new to
motorsport) can complete without the need for specialised
vehicles and expensive equipment.
A
competition licence is not required for any ClubSport Basic
Events (with the exception of Regularity Trials), but after
your first two Autocross or Single Car Standing Sprints you
must be a member of either a Member Club or Associate Member
Club. |

| RACING
& RALLYING |
| |
| Racing: A motor race is an event where many cars compete at the same
time, with the aim of being the first car to complete the
required number of laps. Races can be over a variety of distances,
ranging from just a couple of laps, up to as many laps as
can be completed in a 24 hour period. Although motor racing
can never be truly cheap, racing needs not be expensive. It
is still possible to race competitively in a car which you
have driven to the circuit. Races may be held for specific
groups of cars, based on engine capacity, make/model of car,
type of car etc. |
| |
Rallying: A rally event is made up of several high speed “Special
Stages”. These stages can be held on public or private,
sealed or unsealed roads (which are closed to the public)
and each driver and co-driver competes, attempting to drive
the distance in the shortest possible time. The role of the
“Co-driver” is to read route instructions to the
driver from a road book which details intersections and some
hidden hazards on the course. The “Special Stages”
in a rally are linked by “Touring Stages” which
are the means of getting from one stage to the next, and are
driven at normal road speeds and rules.
Also very popular are “Targa” rallies which are
run on sealed closed roads, and are predominately for Historic
and Classic vehicles. |
