Concept

As a satellite event of "Hama-Fes Y164", a port opening memorial event
which conveys the history of the opening of Yokohama Port,
classic cars from the 1920s to 1973 gather on Yokohama Motomachi Shopping Street
and this approximately 500 km classic car rally over three days starts.
The rally goes around exotic towns in Yokohama, Yokohama Chinatown, Nihon Odori and Minatomirai,
then goes through Hakone, where fresh green leaves will be shining in the sun,
and Gotemba to the Fuji Speedway Hotel.
We drive through beautiful winding roads in Fuefuki, Kai, and Fruit Line Road
with views of Mt. Fuji and vineyards and compete PC competitions at Fuji Speedway.
At the end of the day, we relax and relieve our tired body from the two days at the Fuji Speedway Hotel.
On the final day, we drive through Gotemba, Hakone and the Shonan area,
heading to the finish line on Yokohama Motomachi Shopping Street.
Participants will be greeted with cheers from spectators and applauded for their good fight for three days.

About "Model Year Coefficient" and "Classified"
In Classic Japan Rally 2023 YOKOHAMA Y164, the "Model Year Coefficient" is applied to the overall results.
The results for each class are ranked based on "Classified".

■Overall Results: "Model Year Coefficient" applied
Your score is calculated by multiplying the points given to time difference of competition sections of time trial competitions (PC) conducted in the classic car rally and the model year coefficient of your vehicle.

《Model Year Coefficient》
Vehicles with the model year of 1945 or earlier … 1.25
Vehicles with the model year of 1946 to 1957 … 1.15
Vehicles with the model year of 1958 or later … 1.0

■Results for Each Class: "Classified" conducted
We split participants into different classes depending on their ability based on their results of specified competition sections (Classified designated sections) of time trial competitions (PC) conducted in the classic car rally.
Participating vehicles are divided into four classes, and the results of four days are announced for each class (the Model Year Coefficient not applied).
Dividing class enables participants to know their current skill level, so no matter which level they are at, they can enjoy competitions more toward a higher rank in the class.

《How to Divide Class》
Class is divided into three levels depending on the average difference calculated by subtracting the top three worst time sections of each vehicle from valid competition sections.

Class A … Drivers with an average time difference of Classified valid competitions of 0.00 seconds or more and no more than 0.07 seconds.
Drivers who have finished in the top five overall in the past Classic Japan Rally tournaments.
Class A … Drivers with an average time difference of Classified valid competitions of 0.00 seconds or more and no more than 0.07 seconds, and Drivers who have finished in the top five overall in the past Classic Japan Rally tournaments. Class B … Drivers with an average time difference of Classified designated sections of 0.08 seconds or more and no more than 0.15 seconds.
Class C … Drivers with an average time difference of Classified designated sections of 0.16 seconds or more and no more than 0.30 seconds.
Out of Class … Drivers with an average time difference of Classified designated sections of 0.31 seconds or more.
