A couple of other venues, not official speccy venues but can't see why you wouldn't be able to watch

Friday 5th Porlock Hill, two runs before lunch and two after, first car 12.28

Saturday 5th Chateau Impney, test before and after lunch, first car 12.40


Really happy we have managed to get the competition number 37 for our car :D ;)

Really looking forward to it, come and say hello if you manage to see us. Car pretty much finished prep wise, here is a pic from this morning.

A declared 1965 car with a prior year registration seems a rare example of honesty in the sorry saga of ex-works Minis.

I already expect to be at the Boningale TC Saturday evening and Worton TC or Rednal test Sunday morning, to make rude comments to my former hill climb class opponent Jon Miles, along the lines of him forsaking his Escort for some old German rear engined banger. (Assuming he can survive a rally that far with all his experience of 45 second competition!)

Worth another "health warning" that the main organiser of this event (who had my other old Escort in more modern historic stage rallying) incurred warranted criticism when the rally last visited this area for misleading spectator information. Beware of rally cars being parked behind closed gates out of view at what were declared spectator points.
I passed the "Summer House", Boningale on Wednesday and noticed no obvious spectator parking (no time to stop and check). The rally will be there in the dark in the Wolverhampton and Telford rush hours.
