We are now up and running for 2011 and with a new website too \u2013 it\u2019s www.nerallychamp.com<\/a> Please amend any URLs that you have saved as \u2018Favourite\u2019 or \u2018Bookmark\u2019 in your web browser to the new \u2018.com\u2019 address.<\/p>\n The championship has finally been granted a permit and we have published the Regulations and Registration Form for next year on the new championship website.<\/p>\n As most of you will be aware, AS Performance have agreed to continue with their support of the championship for another year and we\u2019re very pleased to have them on board again.<\/p>\n This year, we\u2019ve kept the tried and trusted formulas that we had last year and just tweaked things ever so slightly. Once more the championship will consist of 10 rallies with competitors being able to count their best 7 scores. The only change to the qualifying rounds will be the introduction of the Solway Coast Rally at the expense of the Crail Stages. The Solway is new territory for us and the venue will be the Dundrennan military ranges near to Kirkcudbright. The roads are different to Otterburn and any MOD airfield so we can expect a new challenge for the championship. We\u2019ve also retained the same class structure that includes a class for cars running to F1000 and FS1000 specifications \u2013 we hope that this will attract new faces and cars to the championship.<\/p>\n The first event of the \u2019year\u2019 is the Specsavers Christmas Stages Rally and it\u2019s back in it\u2019s traditional slot between Christmas and New Year. This rally will run on Tuesday 28th December and will be based as usual at the Croft Circuit. The organisers are offering 8 stages of high quality asphalt covering 40 miles on this compact single venue rally and they have already received the first 85 entries that are guaranteed a run. They have also received over 25 entries for the remaining 10 entries to be chosen at their discretion, and the closing date for entries is Thursday 16th December \u2013 more information can be found on the rally website www.northallerton-ac.co.uk\/xmas\/<\/a> I\u2019m sure the organisers will be hoping for \u2018better weather\u2019 than last year as they struggled just to get the rally to run in all the snow.<\/p>\n The Cartersport Jack Frost Stages on Sunday January 16th is the second round and will also be based at Croft again. The organisers haven\u2019t received as many entries as the Christmas Stages and you will need to get your entry in by Tuesday 4th January for this one.
