The MSN Circuit Rally Championship consists of 8 rounds across the UK covering various locations in England, Wales and Scotland. The competitors will tackle around 50 miles of varying terrain and obstacles on each stage, including; traversing water, jumps, crests, dips and the classic hand brake turn!

The competition encourages any ‘rally-prepared’ cars to take part with competitors driving a wide variety from the modern WRC spec Subaru Impreza to the classic Austin Mini Cooper S.

How the points are divided

Championship points:

Championship points are awarded to competitors who finish from 1st to 28th place based on their overall finishing position against the other competitors. Only the best seven results are taken into consideration, allowing for one stage of mishaps, which can occur due to the extreme pressure the cars endure across the Championship. The winner will be the driver who collates the most points.

Class Points:

These are awarded to competitors who finish between 1st and 10th place against other drivers in the same class. Following the same format as the Championship Points, only the drivers’ best seven results will count with the winner being the driver who accumulated the most points during the season.
