FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Touring Challenges organised by Regularity differ from the normal form of rally in a number of respects: Events are designed to appeal to motoring enthusiasts looking for a challenge, without the significant rules and regulations of more competitive endurance rallies. Events are not designed as a test of speed, but of the reliability of the vehicle over long distance, and of the consistency and skills of the crew across regularity tests, navigation tests and closed track sections. The object of each event is to complete the tour, visiting all of the control points along the way, within the time schedule set.

Our challenges are open to all abilities. Generally crews are made up of a driver and navigator (crews may share duties). These are very social events, aimed at husbands and wives, parents and children or close friends.

Any three or four-wheeled vehicles built before December 31st, 1999 are eligible for the challenge. However, our goal is to make touring challenges accessible to a wider audience of motorsport enthusiasts. Therefore, if you have a newer vehicle that you would like to use for the challenge, we would be more than happy to discuss this with you. Cars must be of generally good appearance, and must be prepared to a standard, that in the opinion of the Scrutineers makes them road-legal and fit to withstand the rigours of the event.

The occupants of a competing car are collectively termed as its “crew”. A crew is made up of the first driver, the second driver (or navigator), plus any additional crew members up to the maximum of the car’s proper seating capacity (small occasional seats, as in “2+2” cars, may not be occupied) On some longer events both the first and the second drivers, and any other crew member who drives the car at any time during the event, must be of the minimum legal age to drive and have a full driving licence valid for, any country in which they drive. The first driver shall be wholly responsible for the entry, for all payments due, and for the conduct of their crew during the event. ​ Please note that no crew member may be under the age of 12.

An essential part of all Historic Road Rallies, the purpose of a Regularity Section is to test the crew's skill at maintaining a precise average speed over a defined route, usually on public roads, but sometimes off-road or track sections.

Each of our challenge events gives participants a unique experience, allowing them to explore a particular region of the world and experience the thrill of driving like never before. These diverse events are grouped into one of two categories to give an indication of their complexity, length, endurance and driving challenge that participants can expect. Our Touring Challenges are non-competitive, sociable events with relaxed schedules, which will take you through a wide variety of asphalt and gravel roads. We will stay at luxury hotels chosen for their excellent food, grand accommodation, and spectacular locations. These events typically last one to two weeks and usually have a start and/or finish location that allows European competitors to drive their cars to and/or from the rally. ​ ​​Our Endurance Challenges are lightly-competitive long-distance events, with an emphasis on exploration and adventure. They are the longest of our rallies, held on a variety of road surfaces. Accommodation during these events will be at a mix of luxury hotels and high-end camping, with the odd night in lower rated accommodation picked for its historical significance or excellent location. These events will be around four to five weeks in length and will usually take place in locations which require participants to ship their vehicles.

We provide Tulip roadbooks as the main form of navigation on all of our events. These are straight-forward and easy to follow. However, they do require some map-based navigational skills to follow. If you or a member of your crew is new to this type of event, we are happy to recommend navigation courses for beginners.
