Following weeks of planning, the ANCRO organised 2007 Hankook Rally Challenge gets underway this weekend when competitors will converge on Llandovery for the Red Kite Stages Rally.
As part of the sponsorship deal with global performance tyre
manufacturer Hankook, the ‘Clubmans’ series will have a total of seven
rounds, three of which are additions to the championship and as well as
the Red Kite Stages, these include an exciting asphalt sortie to the
Epynt ranges in mid Wales with the Eventsigns Mewla National Rally and
an end of season blast around the fast Yorkshire forests with the
Malton Forest Stages.
The three additional events join the existing rallies, the Barretts
Rally of Kent, and three Welsh events which comprise the Severn Valley
Clubmans Rally, the Swansea Bay Clubmans Rally and the Bulldog Clubman
Rally.
Due to the late finalisation of the championship, and the close
proximity of the Red Kite Rally this forthcoming weekend, the
organisers of the championship have deemed it appropriate that a
competitor’s best four scores will count towards the championship, thus
allowing three ‘dropped’ scores.
The champion driver wins a free entry on to each of the Hankook MSA
Gravel Rally Championship (Hankook GRC) events for 2008 and a range of
exciting additional prizes for special categories, including the
Juniors, will be announced shortly as more companies pledge their
support for the series.
