The Rules

There are very few rules, but they are important and will be enforced where your safety is involved. For everyone’s safety and enjoyment all teams will be required to agree to the full Terms and Conditions of entry.

The No Racing rule
This event is categorically not a race, and anyone who thinks otherwise will be unceremoniously booted off the rally! Likewise, any anti social behaviour will not be tolerated.

The No Bumping rule
This rally is not a fairground ride. Bumping into or nudging other team cars, whether driving or parked is strictly prohibited.

The Cost of the Car
This being a banger rally, the car should cost, or have a present value, that does not exceed £500. Although we will not be carefully scrutinising the value of every car against a Parkers guide, if you turn up in a spanking new BMW, don’t be surprised if the other competitors want to "blow the bloody doors off" it.

Condition of the Car
Once you have bought, blagged or stolen your vehicle of choice there is no limit on the amount you can spend to get it through an MOT if necessary or improve your chances that it will make the finish safely.

Unsafe modifications
Factory built convertibles are acceptable but “crop tops” involving the removal of the roof are unsafe and are banned.

Documentation
You must present a valid MOT, Insurance (including continental cover) and your driving license at the start of the rally…….without these you are not in the rally, no exceptions.

Disposing of your Car
Unless you intend to make a holiday of the rally and drive back to Blighty, you can either sell or dispose of your vehicle in an environmentally sound manner by taking it to a local scrap yard at the finish. We do not condone any illegal dumping at the roadside or leaving your car in a long stay at the airport.
