being based in the main block of Kielder. Sunday
will then see the competitors heading into the
Scottish borders and with the total of 150 miles in
just 46 hours the 2015 Roger Albert Clark Rally is set
to be the most compact so far.
Entries are now open for the 12th competition to
be held with the all-forest stages on Saturday and
Sunday set to take in the very best gravel roads in
Kielder and the Scottish borders. The entry fee has
been trimmed by £100 this year making the cost to
feature £1875 and there has been a lot of interest
from European crews.
Upon testing the stages the organisers were
delighted with the road conditions and this is sure
to be an event to remember. Speaking to www.
rogeralbertclarkrally.org, Rally Manager Colin
Heppenstall said, ““We’re really pleased with the
route and delighted to be returning to Sunderland.”
“We’ll have a ceremonial start in Mowbray Park in
Sunderland city centre this year. We’ve got some
absolutely beautiful stages. “They have all been regraded and are well settled. Many of the roads have
not been used since last year.”
Every evening the rally will return to Sunderland
as the city hosts scrutineering as well as the start and
finishing ceremony on Sunday evening. Anyone
wishing to view the events will be able to do so at
a number of locations including most of the special
stages.
Everything appears to be in place for another
successful event in 2015 and the organisers deserve
tremendous credit for the hard work that has gone
into making this possible.
