A perennial problem for our events is giving suitable rewards for teams who do their best to fail. Just like the current education system in the UK, we need to reward failure.

We continually see cars that are too nice and too reliable. This is not a problem BABE Rally in the US suffers from as most of the cars in that events are heaps of crap from the outset, so this new point scoring system is for the UK and European events only.

The challenges on the event are scored out of 1000 for each day that there is a challenge. In a 4 day event there will be a minimum of 3 challenges, for a 5 day event there will be a minimum of 4 challenges, for a 6 day event there will be a minimum of 4 challenges.

So without being too technical, the points below will have a considerable weight on your final score.

Engine Size

under 1000cc - 1000 points
1000cc to 1300cc - 500 points
1301cc to 3499cc - ZERO points

Vehicle Age

1996 (N) to 1990 - 100 points
