The Armed Forces Rally Team

The Armed Forces Rally Team (AFRT) is a tri-service motorsport team made up of serving Armed Forces personnel and associated civil servants, competing in national and international rally events across a range of terrains and conditions. Originating from the Army Rally Team of the 1960s, the modern AFRT was established in 1996 and adopted its current name in 2005 to reflect its joint-service membership.

Recognised as an official Army Sport, the Team combines competitive rallying with the development of teamwork, resilience and technical skill. Crews and management are selected each year on merit, commitment and performance, with competitors testing themselves through the Armed Forces Rally Championship. Supported by Army Sport funding, sponsorship and the dedication of its members, the AFRT continues to represent the Armed Forces within UK motorsport while fostering camaraderie and professional development through rally competition.
