Hexham 12 Car Series

The Hexham 12 Car Series is a number of 12 car rallies head throughout the year across Northumberland, Cumbria and County Durham.

​

What is a 12 car Rally?

A 12 Car rally is a small rally of up to 12 cars. These are held on the public road and are designed to test the navigational ability of the rally crew. 

​

How do they work?

There is a crew of two people, a driver and a navigator. They need to get round the route of about 50 miles without being late or early at any time checkpoints. 

​

The navigator is given the route which they need to plot on to a map. There are many ways this route can be given. See the table top rally page for some examples. 

​

During the night they will be asked to record the fact they have used the correct route by writing down route checks. These come in the form of a number plate on the side of the road, or using mileages on road signs. 

​

How much do they cost?

A Hexham 12 car costs just £25 to enter. 

​

Do I need insurance?

You will need insurance that will cover you 3rd party while doing a rally on the public roads. If your own insurance doesn't cover you then the club will offer cover during the event for for a fee. 

​

Do I need a rally car?

No not at all, you can enter in any car you want. Although some of the lanes used can be very narrow! 

​

I've never navigated on a rally before, can I still do the event?
