The 2025 Jake's Steel & Welding Rejex Rally will take place Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 August 2025. The event will start in Darwin on the morning of Saturday 2 August and travel to Pine Creek for the night, then onto Katherine the next day.
This year recognises the 70th Anniversary of the inaugural Rejex Rally, which took place in response to the Redex Trial not coming to the Top End, hence we were "Rejex".
If you are not familiar with the Rejex Rally, it comprises cruising between locations with navigational challenges, questions and activities along the way. There are also motorkhana-style driving tests at certain locations. Points are assigned for completion of all activities, and there are awards for outright and handicap & class results based on vehicle age.
The intent of the Rejex Rally is for enthusiasts of all ages and motor vehicles of all eras to come together for a great social weekend of driving and as well as a cruise on public roads there are low-speed driving challenges at designated locations. Some of these shall be motorkhana-style courses whilst other challenges are designed to test the driver whilst providing a level playing field for cars of all eras. This has included activities such as:
- navigating a low speed slalom whilst trying not to spill a full cup of water held outside the vehicle
- following non-verbal directions from your navigator whilst they stand at the finish of the course
- determining the narrowest gap your car may fit through with more points deducted the greater the gap to the vehicle body
Drivers of 12 (twelve) and older are eligible to register as Competitors, but must hold a Motorsport Australia licence for the event. Vehicles driven on transport stages (including trailers) must be registered for on-road use and when on the road must be driven by a person with a suitable NT or equivalent drivers licence. The intent is for vehicles participating in the Rejex Rally to be driven throughout the event, not trailered, and Competitors may only earn full points in the Rejex Rally if they make a genuine effort to drive their vehicle for all parts of the event.
Registration is open until Monday 30 June 2025.
Entry is $160 per person. Please provide details for each person attending and indicate if they will be driving the vehicle as a competitor or not. Competing drivers are those attempting the driving tests and will be assigned a competitor number. If you are only sharing on-road driving duties you need a valid road licence, not a Motorsport Australia licence.
All competing drivers must have a Motorsport Australia Speed or higher licence for the event. If you don't have one a single event licence can be purchased at event sign-on for $35.
