How to go Classic Car Rallying
How to go Classic Car Rallying? Essential tips to get the most out of the event.
HERO, The Historic Endurance Rallying Organisation came into existence over fifteen years ago specifically to organise and promote Le Jog; the Land’s End to John O’Groats Classic Reliability Trial and Classic Car Tour. Considered by enthusiasts throughout Europe and North America as one of greatest challenges that any classic car owner can undertake, Le Jog caters for experienced and novice competitors as well as those who just want to feel the elation of knowing that they have driven a classic car from one end of Great Britain to the other, in one of the most amazing historic rally for classic cars.
Competition on Le Jog comes in the form of the Reliability Trial, a day and night event which calls upon the map reading and navigational skills of the co-driver, the skills of the driver when faced with challenging manoeuvrability tests set against the clock, and the ability of both crew members to be able to negotiate a regularity section with secret checkpoints along twisty roads at a set average speed (never above 30mph).
Sounds tough? It is, but there is a less demanding and arduous side to Le Jog - the Classic Car Tour. If you can follow a road atlas, don’t mind spending time at the wheel of your beloved classic car but are not interested in competitive driving then the Tour is for you. Running in parallel with the main event, the Le Jog Classic Car Tour allows entrants to deviate from the suggested route but keep in contact with the competitive Trial by visiting the same main checkpoints.
HERO’s aim is to encourage as many classic car owners as possible to use their cars on the open road. Four to six events a year are organised by HERO and whilst Le Jog is certainly the toughest, the events cater for everyone. Newcomers particularly like the Summer Trial set in the Heart of England and run over three days with no night sections. Navigation is straight forward and is by means of a Road Book which doesn’t require any knowledge of how to plot a map reference or read an OS map. The points system is the same on all HERO events so the Summer Trial is a good way to learn the basics and get to know how regularities work. However, even the Summer Trial has a dedicated Tour for those who want to explore the English and Welsh lanes at their own leisurely pace. Want something a little different? Try the Scottish Malts event and get to visit distilleries and castles or the Icelandic SAGA and see some of the most spectacular scenery Europe can offer. Competitors on all HERO Reliability Trials compete for coveted Gold, Silver and Bronze medals along with class and special awards.
HERO offers all forms of support and assistance to classic car enthusiasts from training sessions through to classic car hire. You will even find a team of dedicated on-event mechanics. A recent addition to the HERO range of services is classic car storage in a secure and heated unit in South Wales. Fully alarmed and with close circuit TV, this facility aims to offer peace of mind to any enthusiast.
