DRIVER/NAVIGATOR TRAINING
Getting your classic or vintage car ready is one thing but when that vehicle is at its peak, will the driver and navigator be able to say the same? Rally Preparation Services not only prepares your car but also makes you are fully equipped with all the skills you need to tackle a rally, whatever the duration, terrain or type.
For the drivers, RPS explains how to drive the car to get the most out of it performance wise, rather than opting for a ‘foot to the floor’ approach. You will also be taught how to handle the various terrains including water crossings, as well as how to get that competitive edge on the tests and stages.
From Tulip Maps and Pace Notes, to GPS and Waypoints, Rally Preparation Services can help navigators of all levels of experience – be it complete novice or those who want to enhance their skills.
As well as giving basic instructions, RPS also explains how to work out timings for tests and use Tripmeters effectively. For more intensive training, RPS calls on well-known rally navigator and winner of several major historic events Alan Smith for his guidance and instruction.
Both the driver and navigator also need some basic mechanical knowledge to be able to maintain the car and keep it on the road, especially during a long distance event. Rally Preparation Services will teach you the basics of servicing as well as offering some troubleshooting hints and tips to make sure you get to the finish line.
RPS have had proven success training people how to maintain their cars on events – where inadequate training can cost dearly.

#TeamRPS are delighted to share that our very own Simon Ayris partnered by a long-term friend, colleague, and co-driver, Kim Bannister, netted a commanding win in the first round of this year's Hero Challenge.
The morning started off well for Simon and Kim, with steady progress on the regularities before pushing hard over the four tests before lunch, setting the fastest times in the MGB class. At lunch, the crew found themselves 2nd overall before returning to a rerun of the morning's tests.
Heading back to the tests after lunch and glancing at the results before leaving Simon said, “I waited for the right moment in the car and said to Kim - pressure is on now Mr Bannister, we are 2nd overall!” With a look at each other across the car, a stony silence fell as they turned in to start the tests again!
Simon attacked the tests again at the brilliant MOD Bovington Camp venue, desperate to consolidate their position setting the fastest times in their class again, meaning all they had to do was have a good run on the remaining three regularities.
With a clean run on the last regularities, there was a knowing fist bump between them at the final timing point as they knew they had done enough - this effort elevated the duo to a very well-earned 1st overall.
Simon said - “after all the events we have done side by side I always knew we would do it at some point, but having started the rally totally relaxed and with no expectation whatsoever, I think that helped, as a great friend from the ERA said to me many years ago and stays with me always - some days your ducks are up!”
“It also goes without saying that the great efforts that our friends at Hero Era Rally put into these events make them stand out as a great days sport for everyone, but the biggest thanks has to always go out to the many marshals who make these events actually work!”
#TeamRPS - Team work makes the dream work!
