Rally - Suspension Extended


Today (Wed 25th) Motorsport UK Extends Suspension of Motorsport Permits to 30th June. 

Motorsport UK Chairman, David Richards explained: Motorsport UK has a vital role to play with its community in re-inforcing that, at this time of national emergency, we must all stay at home to play our part in protecting the NHS and ultimately saving lives.  Today, the government have required that we effectively lock-down for a period of three weeks, however given that the most vulnerable in our society are required to isolate for three months, it is evident that the most responsible course of action was to propose a longer suspension of our sport." 


"When we reflect back on this time, it will be a brief, but vital, hiatus from our everyday motorsport life and we must put this in perspective.  This is a time of national unity and we need to come together with the broader public community to do all we can to support this battle and ultimately save lives.”

Please respect the guidance and advice from the UK Government. We are all in this together and please look after yourself, your loved ones and the wider community. We will return to the circuits, stages and courses in the near future. We will be back stronger.

Rally - Snow-balls from Inverness


Possibly the final report from the recent Coogie Urquhart Snowman Rally. A roundup of the gossip and blethers gleaned from the local worthies and rally stars is now in the on-line mag and includes the 'Tweak of the week' (usual Disclaimers applied!) and 'Quote of the Month'.

And the pics? When Barry Clark asked his 9 year old if he'd rather go to his school friend's birthday party on the Saturday morning, or the rally - guess what he chose!

Rally - Snowman look-back


A look back on more innocent times when food was plentiful, stores were stocked, shelves were stacked and folk were sensible ... Couldn't resist stringing these three photos together. All taken at the Snowman Rally. No need for a caption, is there?
