Rallying on TV confirmed

We love motorsport - it's at the heart of what the Mini is all about - so we're delighted that we'll be able to see the occassional Mini mixing it up with other historic rally cars through some very demanding courses in the UK.

Motors TV will be covering the Dunlop/WONAGO MSA British Historic Rally Championship with dedicated hour-long programmes following each round as well as an extended end-of-season review programme.

The broadcast dates for the first showing of each programme are as follows:
Mid Wales Stages: Sunday 27 March at 9.30pm
Bulldog Historic Rally: Saturday 23 April at 9pm
Pirelli Historic Rally: Saturday 28 May at 8.30pm
Severn Valley Historic Stages: Sunday 26 June at 9.30pm
Ulster Historic Rally: Sunday 18 September at 6.55pm
Tour of Flanders: Sunday 9 October at 10pm
Colin McRae Stages: Saturday 22 October at 9.30pm
Isle of Man Historic Rally: Sunday 20 November at 9pm

Backing for the coverage comes from BHRC TV partners CES (www.autosessive.com), Sherwood Engines (www.sherwoodengines.co.uk), Skipton Ford (www.skipton-ford.com.uk) Tuthill Porsche (www.francistuthill.co.uk), West Wales Rally Spares (www.westwalesrallyspares.co.uk) and XS Racing www.xsracing.net).

Each programme will benefit from multiple repeats in the week following the initial broadcast, and the opening programme from the Mid Wales Stages will be repeated up to 10 times.

Meanwhile, thanks to support from the event organisers, the Swansea Bay Historic Rally, which is a round of the Water End Gravel Cup, will also be broadcast. The programme covering the 16 July rally will be screened on Saturday 6 August at 9pm.

Acceleration Television and Video, the company headed by David Winstanley, is again filming the championship. His team will exclusively film all events and produce television programmes as well as DVDs, which will be available through www.rallytv.co.uk and via the HRCR shop (www.hrcr.co.uk)
