Here to show you the regs for it (from the one i have coming up)

Introduction

A gymkhana is a clubmans event for club members (see para 4.1) meaning no competition licence is needed, just a club membership card.
The event is run on a certificate of exemption from the requirements of the MSA Competitors and Officials Yearbook (blue book) and are defined simply as an event held on private land where there is a balance of driving and skill tests. Any timed tests will be timed to an accuracy of within five seconds.

The gymkhanas organised by Rally Stage Team Motor Club will be a ‘fun’ event but will also have a competitive side. The tests will be driving skill tests – essentially scaled down versions of the type of tests run on historic and endurance rallies – balanced by the need for accurate navigation and tests of skill. All vehicles will be subject to scrutineering to a safety standard, roll cages etc do not have to be MSA approval – this also applies to any other item fitted to the vehicle.

The overall results are calculated by summing penalties from each type of test, meaning that it is not always the driver with best tyres or the most power who wins the event.

Technical regulations are always complex and section 7 of these regulations deals in detail with
requirements but the following summarises the cars allowed to compete:

Gymkhanas are open only to standard car and road rally cars and stage prepared cars. No jeeps or quads
Petrol-engined turbo standard cars are permitted, also turbo-diesels and four-wheel drives cars included.
Tyres must be road legal and not moulded slicks; knobblies are now permitted (new from July 2011).
