Join us this April for our final Beginner’s Navigational Rallying series of the 2025/26 season!
After the enthusiasm and great feedback from our beginner navigational rally sessions in September and February, we’re excited to offer another opportunity to learn, practice, and get involved this April. Whether you’re completely new or looking to build confidence before entering competitive events, these sessions are designed to be supportive, enjoyable, and beginner‑friendly.
Navigational Training at the Claydon Greyhound, just outside Ipswich – Tuesday 7 April
A relaxed, hands‑on evening focused on plotting, map reading, and solving navigation clues. Perfect for anyone wanting to build navigational skills, or refresh what they learned in September/February, before tackling the lanes. No experience needed. We teach you everything!
Beginner 12‑Car Rally, surrounding villages to Ipswich – Friday 17 April
This will be our final event of the 2025/26 season, making it a brilliant chance to put your skills into practice in a fun, supportive environment. Starting and finishing at Claydon and Barham Community Centre (IP6 0EG)
12‑car rallies are a beginner‑friendly form of motorsport where a driver and navigator work together to follow a route using map‑based clues. It’s not about speed, it’s about:
- Navigation
- Teamwork
- Problem‑solving
- Having fun!
There’ll be plenty of time and support for you to plot the route on your map. Then using your everyday road car, you’ll follow a set route around the Suffolk countryside, spotting code boards and visiting check points along the way. This is a non-competitive event. Refreshments will be served at the finish.
