Because regularity racing is more than just a competition—it’s an ode to elegance, beauty, and the everlasting passion for historic cars that will never cease to inspire.
What is a Regularity Rally?
A regularity rally is a motorsport competition where precision takes precedence over pure speed. Competitors must follow a predefined route while strictly adhering to timing controls, measured to the hundredth of a second, across time trials held on either open or closed roads. Penalties are applied for deviations from the ideal times, rewarding consistency and driving skill over raw horsepower.
There are various categories, including:
Classic regularity, reserved for historic cars equipped with specialized timing instruments.
Touristic regularity, a more accessible category for newcomers.
This form of racing emphasizes vehicle control and strategy rather than outright power, making it a true test of skill and precision.
