Source-derived summary

The 1/100 regularity rally is a typically European format of regularity rally often for classic cars. As with other regularity rallies, the aim is not to be the fastest but rather to stay on the prescribed time across all timed checkpoints. Accordingly, 1/100 regularity rallies carry a negligible risk of damage to the vehicles and participants.

1/100 regularity rallies are generally conducted on open, public roads alongside regular traffic, without the contestants knowing the route in advance. Teams usually take off at fixed intervals, creating a field that is spread along the course. The route is described in a roadbook sign by sign, to be deciphered by the navigator. In addition to having to adhere to the prescribed arrival times to the timed checkpoints, the route is also sprinkled with 1/100 challenges - where the denomination of the rally comes from.

1/100 challenges are special tasks between ordinary stages of the rally, timed to the accuracy of 1/100 second (0.01s). The roadbook will usually include a chart with the layout for each challenge with their prescribed completion times, and competitors would receive penalty points for every 0.01s too early or too late across the finish line.

Characteristics

A typical 1/100 regularity rally may run for a few hours or it may run over a series of stages over a few days.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “1/100 Regularity Rally” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 221-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Regularity, Rally and Open-knowledge can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 4, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q24901485. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
