Road rallies - navigator needed and is a Boxster suitable?

[thegoose]

How strange, banning something so cheap and kind of safety related. The whole kit to convert my Golf was well under £20, less than for some halogen bulbs (I used to run 180/100W bulbs on my Manta and they were about a tenner each twenty-odd years ago). Oh well, thanks for the heads up. I'll look at those events too.

It's not seen as safety related I'm afraid, it's seen as light pollution. Can't even use Spot Lights in certain areas, West Mercian for instance.

The car is fixed so I'll be collecting it this week. I'm up for doing the Illuminations Rally but the guy who did the Colman with me (well, barely half of it actually...) can't make it so I need a navigator!

Also, I might be wrong but it looks from the regs like the navigation is not so challenging as the Colman?

Either way, having spent more on the car than I did buying it in the first place I'm now looking for any opportunity get out and compete! Any takers?! :-)

Illuminations has been cancelled I'm afraid Marcus. I don't know why, but I'm not surprised Breweries and piss ups comes to mind with that lot.

Not much left in England this year now, Solway Targa Rally perhaps on the 18th October. Still lots of stuff in Wales though.

There are a number of husband wife, or significant partner! Crews out there. Probably more on the Historic side as it’s a bit more social, but I know of at least two doing Road Rallies on a serious basis.

My wife and me currently do low level club events.
12 car and 20/20, I navigate and she drives.
Mostly harmonious.
