Skinflint Rally 2025 - Bovec or Bust

Points System

All Teams start with 100 points!

Points can be added/deducted based on the list below. The points allocated for your vehicle will be your starting point, and there will be challenges along the way which will enable you to gain or lose points. These challenges will be revealed closer to the event.

Cost of Vehicle – Maximum value of £500

Car cost more than £500 = Minus 5 Points for every £50 over

Car cost less than £500 = Plus 5 Points for every £50 under

There is no restriction on spends to get a car through its MOT or repairs to ensure it is safe and legal.

Number of people in a team/car

2 People = 5 Points

More than 2 people = 5 points per additional participant

Car Decoration/Design

Maximum of 20 points available for each car, points awarded at the judge's discretion. The wilder the better!

Please remember to keep the car safe and legal. Only restriction on cost is the £500 purchase price. We are spending a fair bit of time on the German roads, so pay attention to the laws on wheels/suspension. The German police won't think twice about pulling you over and they aren't keen on lowered suspension and stretched tyres.
