Countdown to Malton’s Forest Rally

10:07am Thursday 13th September 2012 in Sport

Regulations are now available for the MEM Malton Forest Rally.

The event will take place on Sunday, November 4, and will be based at Dalby Forest Visitor Centre, near Pickering.

Three forest stages, each used twice, will be held in the forests of Langdale, Gale Rigg and Cropton to make up a total stage distance of 40 miles.

The entry fee is the same as last year and the move to Dalby will reduce road mileage to contain costs.

In an effort to encourage smaller cars, a class for up to 1,000cc has been included for the first time.

Historic cars will run at the front of the field.

The event is a counting round for three regional championships and is also a round of the Motoscope Northern Historic Championship and the Just Ferries Yorkshire Winter Rally Challenge.

This event is billed as an ideal shakedown for the Roger Albert Clark rally, which runs in the same area four weeks later.
