Just to let local PH's know Ilkley Motor Club have tweaked their clubnight navigational championship a bit to make it easier for beginners to get a decent result.
We have adjusted the class structure by adding in a Semi Expert class, which will bring some of the better crews out of the Novice class making it easier for novices to get a class win. The crews will be classified by the experience of the navigator now, so if you are an expert driver you can bring out a novice Navigator and compete in that class. This should help people who might bring in somebody new to the sport.
On the Scatters the Novices will be given more time (this may be given too Semi's too if the organiser sees fit) On the 12 Car Rallies Novices will NOT be expected to do any plot and bash, all route information will be given out to them at least five minutes before their start time.
Cars can be pretty much anything you like on a scatter, but 12 Cars are a little bit tighter in that respect, no advertising or commercial vehicles for instance.
From 2015 we are limiting the use of Spot lights to a maximum of two Auxiliary lights over and above the lights fitted at the factory. We would prefer not see Light Pods, it's not good for public relations.
There will six rounds in 2015, 4 Scatters and 2 12 Cars.
First one will be 14th January starting at the Otley Rugby club. See the IDMC website or PM me for more details.
To enter you need do to be an IDMC member, but apart from that all need is a Car a driver, navigator, appropriate OS maps, pencils, romer, rubber etc

Just bumping this back up.
We are still running evening motor sport for anybody prepared to join the club and come out and have fun.

For those who might be interested but haven't a clue what I'm on about the basic premis of a Navigational Scatter is to plot a series of points on to an OS map using map references, then go out and find as many of those points as you can in the time allowed. Each point has a value, the highest values are furthest away or down the narrowest slipperiest roads. To get a high score you need to be able plot fast, navigate accurately and drive fast. It's a tough test for Car, Driver and Navigator.
Cost is £7.00 a car plus insurance if you need it at £15.00.
Club membership for the year is £12.00, this allows you to enter our Autotests, Car trials, 12 Car Rallies etc etc too.
