Roger Albert Clark Rally

The biannual epic that is the Raoger Albert Clark Rally saw a superb event with twists and turns throughout. Just over a week before it started 2019 winner Marty McCormack withdrew due to business commitments. On the opening stage Jason Pritchard & Phil Clarke (Escort MkII) were joint fastest, with Paul Barrett & Gordon Noble (Escort MkII), before going fastest on stage 2. They then held the lead through the opening night and the crazy Friday in Kielder, which saw Storm Arwen play havoc with the event. Several crews, many marshals and some fans were all left trapped by fallen trees and frozen conditions. Those that did get back to their digs also had the variable of power cuts which would take over a week to fully resolve.

The biannual epic Roger Albert Clark was the longest, in terms of stage mileage, for its 13th edition. It’s overall stage mileage was just shy of 300 miles and was longer than Wales Rally GB. The opening pair of stages in Radnor were extreme due to fog and the 2nd stage was cancelled early on. The stage was then stopped after just over 20 cars in the main field following a fire and incident involving Alan Walker & John Connor, (Escort MkII). Whilst attending to the fire a following car unfortunately ran over Walker’s foot, requiring the paramedics to attend the scene.
