Proposed Changes to Historic Road Rallying
The
MSA Rallies Committee has proposed changes to the regulations relating
to Regularity Sections from January 2012. These have been put out for
consultation via the MSA website. As proposed, these affect the
running
of regularity sections both on and off the public highway. These
restrictions, if introduced, would stop public road regularities and
seriously affect many UK events that regularly run regularity sections
off the public highway.
The proposed regulation changes can be viewed at http://www.msauk.org/uploadedfiles/regulations/RalliesAugust2010.pdf
The MSA has identified that the wording could be wrongly construed, following widespread concern from the Historic Rallying community.The MSA has reaffirmed that it was never the intention to affect historic road rallying and endurance road rallying.
A
new Road Rally working group will be convened before the next meeting
of the Rallies Committee to consider all feedback received and to draft
more precise proposals. Subject to approval by Rallies Committee these
will then come before the Motor Sports Council in March 2011 for
implementation in January 2012.
