HRCR 100 Rally Series 2008
The 'HRCR 100 Rally Series' of daytime regularity rallies is aimed at newcomers to historic rallying, although the events may also appeal to some more experienced crews who prefer events with straightforward tulip type navigation. They are ideal for those wanting to progress to something more competitive than Scenic Tours, but without the stresses caused by navigational problem solving.
The '100' in the series title means that each rally has a route of 100 miles, which is rather shorter than most single day events. This allows several 30-minute rest halts to be scheduled into the day, so that everyone can catch up any lost time and restart on time after each break.
Four events have run successfully to date:
- Saturday 19 January, Kent 100 Rally
- Saturday 23 February, Yorkshire 100 Rally
- Saturday 29 March, Essex 100 Rally
- Saturday 24 May, Bucks, Berks and Oxon 100 Rally
Three more events are currently planned:
- Saturday 02 August, Kent Summer 100 Rally
- Saturday 13 September, Northants & Beds 100 Rally (Please note that an incorrect date was printed in the HRCR June Newsletter)
- Saturday 18 October, North West 100 Rally
Regulations and entry forms for these events will be available approximately six weeks in advance.
The sociable, low-key, 100-mile events are open to HRCR members in any type of historic or classic car, but with preference given to first-timers and to older cars. Entry fees are low (typically only £30), and events don't start before 10am.
Competition licences are not needed for these events which keep to the same basic beginner-friendly format and are limited to a maximum entry of 12 cars (making the organisation a lot easier).
To register your interest in the HRCR 100 Rally Series, please complete your details in the on-line Registration Form. Sorry, but submission of this form cannot be guaranteed to give any priority of entry to events, although you would be among the first to receive regs and entry forms.

Newcomers Rally Schools
The HRCR's popular Newcomers Rally Schools will be concentrating on the basics of rallying, particularly ensuring that beginners receive sufficient instruction to obtain maximum enjoyment from competing in the HRCR 100 Rallies as a stepping stone to Clubmans Rally Championship or Night Rally Championship events.
Three Newcomers Rally School one-day courses are run each year, one each in the North (January), South-East (March) and South-West (November).
Each one-day course starts with lectures on the varied aspects of historic rallying, such as the format of events, car preparation, maps and navigation. Then the afternoon session includes plotting and driving a 15-mile road route where you can put into practice what you have just learned.
