Heart of Darkness is an overnight Time-Speed-Distance Rally on gravel roads. There will be a Novice School offered at no extra cost; sign up is required to participate in the school. Novice School will provide a basic understanding of TSD rules, and navigator and driver roles and techniques. The school will cover all time-speed-distance calculations needed to be successful in BC TSD Novice or Calculator classes. The rally follows the current Rally Pacific Motorsports Association TSD Rally Regulations, which are posted on http://rallybc.com, and the C.A.R.S. General Competition Rules.
