we have 5 entries so far, so looking good.

If anyone has a rally car with out of date seats/belts/overalls etc then this is a perfect event for you to get some use out of your vehicle.

The venue we have is an events field, so its pretty smooth for road cars, we tried a mk4 astra with 16inch alloys and low profile tyres and it was pretty smooth, so all you autosolo guys and gals who want to try somthing a bit different, have a go

for helmet and overalls, get on ebay, i bought overalls £20, and if your mate has a helmet, why not share? also AWS do some really good price overalls which are perfect for autocross


Cheers

track plan is now on the website too

perfect course if you like sideway action!

dont worry if you dont have rally tyres, road tyres give a decent amount of grip as the ground is hard packed.





if you dont have a blue book this is basiclly what you need:



flame resistant overalls, dont need to be msa or fia spec, so the type autograssers and banger racers use is fine.
complete gloves, no open backs or fingerless, dont need to be flame resistant tho.

helmets, have to be msa spec, so helmets with the following stickers on them.
fia 8860-2004
snell sa2010
snell sa2005
snell sa2000
BS 6658 type A/FR


seatbelts, 3 point is fine, so the standard 3 point that comes in your every day car, you can use harnesses they dont have to be in date.

mudflaps behind all 4 wheels, extending 3.8mm either side of the tyre, and maximum of 7.6mm off the ground. they dont have to be the 4mm thick type rallycars use, they can be old rubber floor mats or anything that will work as a mud flap.

extinguisher, a 2L AFFF handheld is fine.

you can use standard seats or replace the drivers seat for a competition seat, the competition seat doesnt need to be msa or fia spec, and doesnt have to be in date.

if your car doesnt have laminated windscreen it can be replaced with polycarbonate, or just put wire mesh over it. my karmann ghia doesnt have a laminted screen, so i got some mesh from B and Q for £3

tyres, you can use road tyres and rally/gravel tyres as long as they are e marked, no 'offroad 4x4/baja' type tyres tho
