  • Regulations will be available towards the end of August
  • We are starting a list of interested entries. These people will get their regulations and entry forms before they are published and posted to past competitors. Email your interest
  • With 52 entries last year and a huge interest for the event to run again, we expect places to go fast, Max of 60 entries.
  • Two forest districts in use with the same service area as last year.
  • All stages and liason routes within the rally are off the public highway, so untaxed vehicles can compete.
  • First stage will start from within the forest so untaxed vehicles will need to trailer their vehicle to the forest.
  • Expect about 100 miles of fast, skilfull driving, bring lights it gets dark at 4pm, but they must be able to dip or go off on dipped beam.
  • Stages will be run without the need to remark so often, thus more flowing and hopefully not the delays.
  • Stage length varies from 2 to 12 miles.
  • AT tyres will be OK but MT can be used, NO Diamonds etc please.
  • Bring along a marshal, we will train them, the sport needs them it will not be long before the entry fee is x£s and one marshal or no play.
  • Whithaugh Park have assigned the whole park to the rally so more accommodation available.
  • Bar on site, run by a local club to raise funds for their equipment.
  • Ground work on roads has taken place and the club has comitted funds to the Park, but we need to know what rig you will be bringing so we can allocate the right location.
  • Fee sub £400 but TBC, also up to £50 off if you pay up early.
