This licence also includes what's referred to as 'Non-Speed' events such as Observed Section Trials, Touring Assemblies, non-timed Road Events, Motorkhana and Khanacross. These events typically are hosted on smaller facilities, and are based on manoeuvrability and skill rather than outright pace. Participants can begin from the age of 12 onward, and will be issued with a conditional Speed Junior licence until they reach the age of 14.

The Australian Sport & Club Development Commission has produced the following guidelines for clubs intending to run touring assemblies:

Social events are generally categories in one of the following areas: static vehicle displays, social runs conducted under State road rules on public roads (such as lunch runs, breakfast runs or observation runs), or Car Club monthly meetings (non-vehicle).

Observed Section Trials involve the cars traversing marked sections (the number depending only on the time available) of muddy or slippery surfaces, steep, or otherwise difficult terrain. The purpose of each Competitor is to traverse the whole of each section non-stop from a standing start, without departing from the marked course or hitting any of the markers en route. Sections, which may vary in length from 25m to 100m or more, are each divided into 10 parts, each marked by opposite pairs of pegs or markers.

TheBend calendar of events

A Speed Licence allows you to compete at pace in events such as Regularity, single and multi-car Speed Events, Drifting and Touring Road Events. It is designed for competitors – from the age of 14 – who want to explore the full potential of their vehicle and driving ability at speed and against the clock, as opposed to fellow competitors on-track.

The above special tests are non-speed skill tests, for which at least the driver of the vehicle must hold a Motorsport Australia Non-Speed licence.

Motorsport Australia Public Liability generally covers these events as part of your affiliation fees. For a complete listing, please refer to the Gallagher Insurance Handbook.

Social events are a key part of why clubs exist and include; club meetings, working bees, and social gatherings - through to club runs, show and shines, and many other key social activities of clubs.

Observed Section Trials were introduced to Australia from England in 1950 by the late John Pryce and have since been conducted regularly by the Austin 7 Club Inc. Trials cars are built to a specific formula.

Route instructions should not be issued requiring different crews to proceed over the same route simultaneously in opposing directions unless specifically noted.

Note: Organisers are encouraged to contact the relevant Motorsport Australia state office to obtain published guidelines for road event organisers.

Sample Supplementary Regulations based on Definitions and relevant sections of the National Rally Code are available which should act as a guide for Clubs wishing to conduct a Touring Assembly event while comprehensive regulations for Touring Assemblies are developed.
