Get Active
The most popular form of motor sport in the UK, probably because it is normal road cars that have been modified. It involves two people working as a partnership, the driver and a co-driver, cars run at one-minute intervals, competing against the clock instead of each other.

Special Stage Rallying
These are more expensive than road rallies, with more on car preparation, speed and driver ability, rather than navigational skills.
Road Rallying
As specialised cars are required for special stage rallying, unmodified, everyday cars can be used for simple road events, making this one the cheapest form for motor sport available. If you are new new to navigating on road rallies, you may have to learn Tulips & Heringbones, yes this does sound abit strange but these are the terms. for information on these terms and a basic guide click here to download. It will look complicated but it will become easier with more road rallies you do. I suggest that you talk to someone that has experience of doing road rallies from your loacal club, to explain everything as well.
The Novice Stage Rally Driver Scheme (Information Courtesy of the motor sport uk)
Anyone who does not possess a Stage Rally Licence (apart from certain exceptions, see below) must first apply to the motor sport uk for a "Go Rallying" Pack. The pack contains – among other information – a "Competitors Yearbook", a DVD and a novice licence application form. The pack contains instructions on the procedure for obtaining a Stage Rally National B Licence.
Since 1 January 2002, every driver competing in stage rallies has been required to hold a Stage Rally Competition Licence. Competitors (including co-drivers) are no longer able to apply for their Competition Licences on the day of an event.
The Stage Rally National B Licence may be issued, without other qualification, to any of the following:
- Anyone who held a Non-Race National B Competition Licence prior to 31st December 2001.Anyone who held any motor sport uk Competition Licence which was valid for driving in Stage Rallies prior to 31st December 2001. This category comprises all Race, Kart, Speed, Drag and Rally Licences (each of which has always been valid as a Non-Race National B). Evidence of having driven on a Stage Rally is not required.
Drivers not qualified as above will be required to successfully complete the BARS course. These are:
- Anyone who has previously held only a Non-Race Clubman's Licence. Anyone who has previously held only a Rally National A Navigator Licence. Anyone who has never previously held any type of Competition Licence.
The Stage Rally National B Licence and what it covers:
- The Stage Rally Licence is the only Licence which entitles the holder to drive in Stage Rallies. It may also be used for any other event requiring either a Non-Race National B or Non-Race Clubmans Licence. Any competitor wishing to drive in Stage Rallies will be required to apply for a Stage Rally National B Licence. No Stage Rally event will accept Non-Race National B Licences for drivers.
Any competitor wishing to navigate in Stage Rallies may apply for a Non-Race National B, Rally National A Navigator or (if entitled) a Stage Rally National B Licence. None of these licences may be applied for on the day of an event; every Stage Rally competitor is now required to be in possession of his or her licence prior to competing.

Want To Be A Marshal?
If you want to get involved in marshalling - but not as a competitor, there can be no better way than as a marshal or official. Before you commit we advise that you have a few trail events. You will always need Warm clothing & waterproofs , hot drinks and high energy food. As a rule I always take a camping stove for that must bacon butty and hot drinks, wear plenty of layers, steel toecap boots, gloves, plenty of food and most of all a whistle and high viz as in the photo on the right I am all in orange.
Volunteers are also needed as administrators within motor clubs.
