Are driver / co-driver allowed to swap during the event or does it have to be same driver throughout?
Yes of course. The road element is untimed and not competitive, so it's completely up to you who drives. You can swap around and take as long as you like. Whether you trust your co-driver to drive your car on the timed tests at the airfield though is another matter!

We've been overwhelmed by the response to this. So thank you to everyone who has commented and registered, it's shaping up to be a fantastic event.

We should be opening booking next week. I'd like to remind those that have registered interest, this doesn't guarantee you a space, but you will get notified of the exact time booking will open ahead of anyone else. Spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

If you haven't registered your interest yet, you can do this here. Are we nearly there yet? biggrin

These will be auto tests on a private airfield, such as a short slalom course. All for a bit of fun really – it's up to you how serious you take it and no one will be forced to take part, but obviously we'd encourage everyone to for the full experience!

Is there silverware up for grabs? Because that effects my level of seriousness. hehe

Ooh - will there be photographers on the route ? Be good to have some decent photos of the car if I’m lucky enough to book on the day.

I gather the need for a co-driver, but what's the policy on additional passengers? I might have a couple of friends who would like to come along for the ride smile

Bring as many as you like! It will make it more fun as you can all take it in turn to navigate.
