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?
