Wolverhampton & South Staffordshire Car Club Ltd regret to announce they have been forced to cancel next month’s Welshpool-based Rally North Wales (April 5th) due to insufficient entries and the consequential potential loss of more than £10,000.
The event would have been the first of seven rounds in the MSA British Rally Championship and a qualifying round of the MSA Mintex British Historic championship and the MSA Pirelli Welsh Stage Championship.
When the Entry List officially closed at 21.00 hours today (Friday 21st March) less than 80 paid entries had been received.
“We needed 106 entries just to break-even this year. With less than 80 entries the Club was facing a potential loss of in excess of £10k, which we simply cannot afford. Cancelling last year’s rally cost the Club a similar amount and wiped out any contingency funding for this year” said Guy Weaver, Chairman of W&SSCC Ltd. He continued by saying “He wished to put on record the Clubs thanks to Clerk of the Course, Kevin Witton, and his organising team for their hard work over the last year in producing what we believe would have been an excellent event but the Club cannot sustain this level of loss for a second consecutive year. All entry fees received will be returned in full.”
