How to Enter a Ross & District Motor Sports Club Event

Updated

To enter a Ross & District Motor Sports Club event, open the event's listing in the club calendar, read its regulations, then complete the entry form linked from that same listing. The club's site presents each event with its own regulations and entry form, so the exact requirements depend on which event you choose. The calendar currently lists Autotest and 12 Car NavEx events for November and December 2026, with venue, time and organiser details shown alongside each one.

Step 1: Find the event you want

The events calendar on rossmotorsports.co.uk is the starting point. Each entry shows the event type, date and time, location and organiser. The listings in the supplied page content include:

Event Date and time Location
Tarmac Autotest 7 Nov 2026, 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm Ross Live Stock Centre, Ross-on-Wye HR9 7QQ
12 Car NavEx 12 Nov 2026, 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm Ross Motor Club, 25 Kyrle Street, Ross-on-Wye HR9 7DB
Tarmac Autotest 28 Nov 2026, 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm Ross Live Stock Centre, Ross-on-Wye HR9 7QQ
12 Car NavEx 10 Dec 2026, 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm Ross Motor Club, 25 Kyrle Street, Ross-on-Wye HR9 7DB

The calendar also shows October 2026 with no events, so check the month you are browsing rather than assuming a regular schedule.

Step 2: Read the regulations for that event

Each listing links to "Regulations" and an "Entry Form." The regulations are where the event-specific rules sit, and they differ between event types. What the site states for the two types currently listed:

  • Tarmac Autotest: a series of 4–5 tests, entry £18, held at Ross Cattle Market (Ross Live Stock Centre). The listing says all types of vehicles can be entered.
  • 12 Car NavEx: held on public roads for a maximum of 12 cars. Two competitors — a driver and a navigator — solve navigational clues to find the correct route. Events run in the evening over about 50 miles and last about 3 hours. The site says virtually any standard car is suitable.

Read the linked regulations before entering rather than relying on the summary text, since eligibility and format details are set out there.

Step 3: Complete and submit the entry form

Use the entry form linked from the same event listing. The site does not describe an online payment or account system, so follow whatever instructions the form and regulations give for submitting your entry and paying any fee. For the Autotest, the listed entry price is £18; no price is stated for the NavEx in the supplied content.

Step 4: Confirm the details before the day

Check the venue and start time on the listing again close to the event. The two venues are distinct:

  • Ross Live Stock Centre, Ross-on-Wye HR9 7QQ — used for the Tarmac Autotests.
  • Ross Motor Club, 25 Kyrle Street, Ross-on-Wye HR9 7DB — used for the 12 Car NavEx evenings.

The organiser for all listed events is Ross & District Motor Sports.

Common sticking points

  • Assuming one form covers everything. Entries are tied to individual event listings, so start from the specific event you want.
  • Skipping the regulations. Vehicle eligibility and event format are stated per event; the Autotest and NavEx differ substantially.
  • Turning up without checking the calendar. The calendar shows empty months, so confirm your event is actually listed for the date you plan to attend.
  • NavEx team size. A NavEx entry involves a driver and a navigator, and the event is capped at 12 cars — plan as a pair.

Other club activities

The site also highlights Bluebell Run (a touring assembly), Car Trials and Historic Tours, with "find out more" links for each. If your interest is one of these rather than the Autotest or NavEx, follow the relevant section of the site for its own details.
