Farnham B Winter Rally Challenge:

Celebrating the most spectacular era of the , a night of big wings, stripey liveries and excess in all areas.

Race Date:

Wednesday 17 January, 20:00-23:00

Race Format:

Each driver must use two cars – one ‘stock’ rally car made by a mainstream manufacturer and one ‘pro/mod’ car which can either be their own or borrowed from the club if they do not have one.

The event will be a rally with a twist. There will be two rally stages – Lawrence’s ‘Astisburg Mountain’ and a temporary stage made up specially for the event. All competitors will set a time over both stages with both their ‘Stock’ and their ‘Pro’ cars.

A third stage will be made on the club’s track, which will be modified for the occasion. First of all, there will be a timed stage run on Blue Lane. Then there will be two classes for racing on all four lanes. The cars will be marshalled and the total time taken to complete all four ten-lap races will be added to each driver’s total time in each class.

To start the evening, the drivers will divide into three groups and compete on the three special stages. When all three groups have completed all three stages, the two racing classes will be run as per a normal club night but with marshalling and ‘magic cranes’ instead of crash ‘n’ burn.

Race results from the two ‘racing’ classes will only be used to decide the result of a tie- breaker in times at the end of the rally.
