What is a.......
NAVIGATIONAL
SCATTER:
An event held on the public highway. A test of navigational and driving skills where competitors visit 75% of specified references in any order they wish. Held on winter evenings lasting about 2½ hours.
AUTOTEST:
A
test of driving skill held on a sealed surface such as a car park.
The competition consists of driving through and around cones, garages and
slaloms timed to the second. Held
on summer evenings or Sunday afternoons.
GYMKHANA:
Like
an Autotest but with the emphasis on accuracy as opposed to time.
GRASS AUTOTEST:
Like
an Autotest but held on a grass surface, so slower and slipperier.
PRODUCTION CAR TRIAL (PCT):
A
competition of driving skill involving trying to drive a car up a sloping
twisting course to reach the top. The
further up you can take the car the less penalties you attract. Usually held on
Sundays.

on the public highway (regulated by the MSA and with routes approved by the
appropriate agencies). A rally of
approx. fifty cars competing on all classes of roads starting on a Saturday

STAGE RALLY:
Held
on private property such as Forestry Commission land or disused airfields. There
are many types of event but you will need a specially prepared car to take part.

you can help to run an event, maybe a stage start or finish, and learn what
mistakes not to make.
