What we will guarantee is this, put your entry in now and if you have a problem on either of those events we will refund you 100% of your entry fee.
Super Smooth Stages
Competitors in the MSA British Rally Championship are certain to enjoy a smooth start to the 2014 series with news that the opening round, the Pirelli Carlisle RB Foundation Rally, will be running over some pristine forest tracks with the all the roads in superb condition following an exceptionally mild winter. The Border forests, Kielder and Kershope, have seen a complete absence of frost, and indeed, only a smattering of snow, leaving the roads so totally undamaged that, for the first time in many years, no regrading will be necessary prior to the event.
A recent survey by the organising team’s Chairman, Brian Kinghorn, left him enthusing, “It’s the best condition I have ever seen Kielder in, we could run the rally tomorrow, the roads are so superb and will make the base for some really competitive motoring.”
With six super smooth stages in Kielder and a further four in Kershope, the pace will be electric, giving drivers in both the MSA British Rally Championship and their counterparts in the Mintex MSA British Historic Rally Championship, an early chance to show what they are capable of. This promises to be a treat, not only for the competing crews, but also for the thousands of spectators who flock to see the rally, they are assured of some really fast and spectacular action.
The Pirelli Carlisle RB Foundation Rally runs over the weekend of 3rd/ 4th May and the action in the forests will be preceded by a high profile start ceremony in Carlisle city centre, giving the public an unrivalled opportunity to see the cars and crews close up.
CITY SUPPORT RALLY WITH FREE FAMILY FUN DAY
There will be a real carnival atmosphere surrounding the start and finish of the Pirelli Carlisle RB Foundation Rally, a great double header featuring the opening round of the 2014 MSA British Rally Championship and the 2nd round of the Mintex MSA British Historic Rally Championship, which arrives in Carlisle over the weekend of 3rd/4th May for while the cars assemble in the city centre, to be flagged away by the Mayor, Cllr. Ray Bloxham, the hordes of spectators will be kept amused by a programme of street entertainment, laid on by the enthusiastic city council.
The competing cars will be on show before leaving the start line outside Carlisle’s Old Town Hall, where the crowds will be entertained by a variety of performers plus the Langhom Pipe Band will be adding to the occasion with the skirl of the pipes echoing round the historic buildings throughout the day.
As an additional attraction, budding drivers of tomorrow can try out their skills on a giant Scalextric layout which will be in operation at the Old Fire Station Arts Centre throughout the day. Entry to this, and all the other attractions, is completely free of charge.
The end of the rally should prove to be quite an occasion as, in addition to a high profile podium finish in Carlisle city centre, the Zing Community Rock Choir will be on hand to make sure the proceedings go with a swing.
