The stages for this year’s Roger Albert Clark Rally are in as good a condition as they have even been since the event first ran in 2004. That’s the view of rally manager Colin Heppenstall after he completed an entire route survey in the second half of September.
Heppenstall drove every one of the event’s 170 stage miles in his planning for the 26-29 November event and came away delighted with the condition of the stages.
He reported that the stages in Scotland and Kielder that were used by rallies earlier this year have been completely regraded and have settled well during the summer months.
“The stages for this year are in beautiful condition; really, really good,” said Heppenstall. “The Scottish stages have all been re-graded and Kielder is lovely. I think the stages are as good as they have ever been for the Roger Albert Clark Rally.”
With interest from within the UK and further afield running at record levels, Heppenstall is hopeful of having the biggest entry yet for the event that starts from Pickering on Friday 26 November.
