Momentum is rapidly gathering for the British Rallycross Grand Prix which takes place at Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire on Sunday 6th November.
Entries are pouring in for the prestigious event with most of the country’s leading drivers set to take on their foreign counterparts at the two-day meeting which also sees the final round of the Quaife MSA British Rallycross Championship.
Amongst the confirmed entries so far are European Championship contender and X-Games gold medallist Liam Doran in his Monster Energy Citroen C4 ERC, newly crowned MSA British Champion Julian Godfrey (Ford Fiesta Mk6 ERC) and the unique Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X of former National Rally Champion Steve Hill.
As well as Leeming ace Kevin Procter’s Ford Focus, the local challenge has also been bolstered with the news that Scotch Corner tuning wizard and ex British Champion Tony Bardy will be driving a Ford Puma ERC 4×4 at the event also.
In addition to the action on track, there are a host of other attractions including the Ford RS Owners Club and other car clubs on display, Crow’s funfair and Darlington precision driver Paul Swift doing stunt demos during the lunch break on Sunday.
The event has also attracted significant sponsorship from SHC Hire Centre in Northallerton, Silks Nightclub in Leeds, Northallerton-based NYG and specialist motorsport travel agents www.just-ferries.com.
