We\u2019re pleased to announce that the 2016 championship is ready to go.\u00a0 And there are no new surprises in store as we continue to build on yet another successful year from 2015.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once again it\u2019s great to have the continuity in that we have\u00a0AS Performance<\/strong>\u00a0as our title sponsor.\u00a0 This is the 8th<\/sup>\u00a0consecutive year that Alyn Stockton & his team has supported the championship and we\u2019re delighted to have them along with us once more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Those of you who attended our recent awards presentation will already be aware of the slight change to next year\u2019s qualifying rounds.\u00a0 The sad news is that the\u00a0Solway Stages\u00a0<\/strong>is happening on the same weekend as the Tyneside Stages in 2016.\u00a0 We feel that it doesn\u2019t give registered contenders a chance to do both events properly and so regretfully we\u2019ve decided not to include the Dundrennan event in our 2016 championship.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfortunately, the organisers of the Jim Clark National have still not been unable make progress with the planning of their return to closed roads rallying and have decided to run next year\u2019s event in the woods again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There\u2019s no change to the scoring system or the supplementary Regulations for next year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With our governing body\u2019s decision earlier this year to seed all cars on their anticipated finishing position, the owners of historic rally cars can expect to run further down a field and therefore the option of gravel rallies isn\u2019t quite so attractive. We\u2019re continuing with the class for Historic cars and hope to be able to get more people to join us on the sealed surface rallies.\u00a0 Just like last year, there will be one class for any car that has a current Historic Rally Vehicle Identity Form and is defined as a Historic car in the MSA Technical Regulations (R49) – all Category 1, 2 or 3 cars first registered before 1982.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There\u2019s also a refresh of the\u00a0History<\/a>\u00a0page of this website with a look back at some images of our most successful championship driver, Mr Barry Lindsay.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The opening three rallies of the calendar are the same as last year, and already they\u2019re proving extremely popular.\u00a0 The first one is the Christmas Stages Rally and it\u2019s continuing in it\u2019s traditional slot between Christmas and New Year.\u00a0 This rally will run on Sunday 27th<\/sup>\u00a0December and will be based as usual at the Croft Circuit.\u00a0 The entry list is already oversubscribed and so we\u2019ll start the year with a full entry.\u00a0 For more information, go to the rally website\u00a0www.northallerton-ac.co.uk\/xmas\/\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The\u00a0AUTOGAS 2000\u00a0<\/strong>Jack Frost Stages Rally in association\u00a0with Cartersport<\/strong>\u00a0will run on Sunday January 17th<\/sup>\u00a0and is the second round of our championship.\u00a0 This is the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0consecutive running of the event and once again it will also be based at Croft.\u00a0 Entries have been coming in very well and are already classified as oversubscribed.\u00a0 The link for the rally is\u00a0www.darlington-motor-club.org.uk\/series_home.php?seriesid=53<\/a><\/p>\n And finally for now, a quick mention about the 19th<\/sup>\u00a0Legend Fires<\/strong>\u00a0North West Stages.\u00a0 Although the rally doesn\u2019t take place until 5th<\/sup>\u00a0and 6th<\/sup>\u00a0February and the Regulations have just been released, the organisers received well over a 100 entries within a day.\u00a0 There will be more about this event next time and the official rally website is\u00a0www.nwstages.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019re pleased to announce that the 2016 championship is ready to go.\u00a0 And there are no new surprises in store as we continue to build on yet another successful year from 2015.
