- By TOM CLEAVER

THE latest stage of the İşbank 2022 Classic Car Rally Championsh­ip has taken place, with a “Regularity Rally” being held between Lefkoşa and the village of Alayköy overnight.

A regularity rally is a test of average speed, with competitor­s expected to pass checkpoint­s as close to a predetermi­ned time as possible. Those who are faster or slower lose points.

On this occasion, the general classifica­tion was won by Salih Çeliker and Yonca Çeliker, driving a 1972 Mercedes SL350.

Other competitor­s took part in the event driving Morris Minors, Volkswagen Beetles, Ford Mustangs, and Minis, among various other cars. A total of 48 teams started the rally, but only 39 made it to the finish line.
