Basic questions about classic rallying...

[SpecialAgentJoe]

I'd love to buy a classic car one day and enter a rally or two (well, an old car that can qualify for rallying coz 'classics' just seem too expensive nowadays). Thing is, I can find most of the information about car prep, kit/accessories etc but the basics seem harder to fathom so without wanting to sound too thick, can anyone answer the following numpty questions...

1. How do you get your car to the start of a classic car rally and back from the finish? Do organised rallies ever include transport of your car or is that something I'll have to work out myself if it's a really long way away? Would I need to trailer the car around or just drive it to and from?

2. What are regularity trials?

3. How do you learn about navigating? What are Tulip guides etc

4. Do you need special insurance for doing rallies or is it included in classic insurance?

I'm sure I'll have other questions but I'd really like to know these basics.

Cheers
