Rallynuts Stages Rally postponed

The organisers of the Rallynuts Stages Rally are disappointed to announce that the event will be postponed from its original date of 17th April 2021.

Malcolm Wilson cancelled

It is with great disappointment that we have to advise you that the event will not run in March. We have tried to organise a Plan B but unfortunately it has not rendered sufficient mileage,

With the impending further restrictions due to Covid it is not the right climate to be promoting events which bring people into Cumbria – even if it is allowed!

Super six appeal – Nicky Grist Stages boosted by top rally championships coming to Builth Wells in 2021

Next year’s Nicky Grist Stages will host no less than six of the UK’s top national rally championships when the Builth Wells-based event takes place on Saturday 10 July 2021, with crews from the prestigious British Rally Championship (BRC) joining the likes of the hugely popular MRF Tyres BTRDA Rally Series and Motorsport UK Pirelli Welsh Rally Championship.

This means that the Quinton Motor Club-organised event, which has won the ‘BTRDA Best Rally of the Year’ award five times, will see the best British national rally crews tackle the classic mid-Wales forest stages of Crychan, Halfway and on the Epynt military ranges in an all-action, one-day, 45 stage mile rally festival.

Classic Rallying Calendar 2021

Like a lot of people during Lockdown, I found myself delving into some of my old photographs from my early motorsport career – particularly the very early years when I was still learning my trade!

It led me to resurrecting my old UK Rally Calendar which I had stopped doing since I retired. I’ve used a selection of some of my old favourite pictures from some of my favourite and memorable locations (some of which probably arent used any more) and title it ‘Classic Rallying’!

It features many of the great cars and drivers of the late 80s and early 90s such as Malcolm Wilson in the Ford Sierra Cosworth 4×4 and the late Dave Metcalfe in the Vauxhall Nova.
