Twelve-car rally
A short British beginner navigational rally limited to twelve cars, usually on a weekday evening, to keep the impact on residents low.
A twelve-car rally (12-car) is a short British navigational rally limited to twelve participating cars – keeping the impact on residents and other road users low. It often takes place on a weekday evening, the route is usually 75 to 100 miles, and instructions are handed out just before the start ('plot and bash'). Thanks to its low cost and simple organisation it is regarded as the classic entry point into British rallying; the HRCR offers the '100 Rally' formula for it, for example.
