CT Rallies Mini-Series

[sparky_spit]

Club Triumph are pleased to announce the 2020 Rallies Mini-Series,  a series of rallying events, both CT organised rallies and also those run by clubs that CT have a close relationship with. The objective is to promote entry-level rallying within the club by using a separately run series of existing rallying events that members can enter on their own accord, but which will score towards a “Rallies Mini-Series Championship” award at the end of the Club Triumph competition year.  The events themselves will range from the most simplest form of rallying motorsport, through to some more serious and advanced rallies, but all being well within the capability of all club members. 

The 2020 series events are listed below:

10th January  CMC January Jaunt

Rules and Registering your Results:

All entrants will need to register their participation in the series with Club Triumphs rallies co-ordinator (Mike Banks – mike.banks@club.triumph.org.uk).  

You will be able to choose as many, or as few, of the events on the list to enter and the finishing results from your 8 best events will be added to the series table. You can do a fewer number of events, which will all be counted up to a maximum of 8.  As you can see, we have tried to include events that cover a reasonable geographical spread of the country, and a range of difficulty within the events.  

Where there are two events listed in a particular month, only one may be used within the mini-series results. Listing two or more events in any month is purely to increase the geographical spread of events. 

Within this series, Club Triumph will only nominate the events that are part of the series. Once the event is formally announced by the organising club it will be up to each individual crew to enter the event and gain a place. Club Triumph will not do this for you. 

It will also be up to the entrant to pay for their entry fee and any club membership that may be necessary. It’s important for the entrant to state within the entry form that they are a member of Club Triumph, as this will allow them to take advantage of any “invited club” status we may have with the organisers, or any discount, etc. Where we can, we will state whether there is invited status or a discount. 

Rules will be as the organising clubs rules for the event, there will be no CT Rules. Within the series, CT will make no allowance for ‘Novice’ and ‘Expert’ status and results used will be the overall placings within the group of CT entrants, or in class if there are no other CT entrants. 

It will be the entrant’s responsibility to inform the co-ordinator of their result in each event, and provide a results sheet from the event organisers, confirming their position placing, if asked to do so. 

Points for driver and navigator will collected separately to cater for any differing crew makeup throughout the series. 

An award for the winner(s) will be given and presented at the awards dinner in March of the next year.  

Points will be awarded as follows: 

Starting the event (but declared DNF) = 2pts 

Starting and Finishing the event, but outside the top 12 places = 4pts

Placed 1^st against other CT crews, or in class if no other CT crews entered - 16pts

Organising or Marshalling on an event – an average score will be given, up to a maximum of 3 marshalling instances, based upon all your scores and added at the year end. The average score figure will be rounded up if equal to or greater than n.5  For example: a score of 8.49 will be rounded down to 8 and a score of 8.5 will be rounded up to 9.  You will appreciate that this will create the situation where final scores will not be fully known until the last event has been completed.
