The little-used tracks of the Scottish Borders and Kielder Forest will once again be reverberating to the sound of rally cars when the annual Brick & Steel Border Counties Rally gets underway from Jedburgh on Saturday 24th March 2007.
Comprising round two of the popular Hankook MSA 2007 Gravel Rally Championship, the organising team has been hard at work securing the best stages available for the event which sees Harwood Forest incorporated for the first time as well as a centralised service area.
What’s more, despite spiralling costs, the entry fees will remain at 2006 levels and as an added incentive, it is planned that all cars up to 1600cc will run at the front of the field.
With the National ‘A’ event set for eight stages totalling around sixty
miles, and the supporting National ‘B’ rally offering forty-five miles
over six stages, both with minimal road mileage, demand for entries is
bound to be high so the message from the organising Whickham and
District Motor Club and Hawick and Border Car Club is ‘book early to
avoid disappointment!’
The National ‘A’ event will incorporate qualifying rounds of The
Hankook GRC, The Mitsubishi Ralliart Evolution Challenge and Cup, the
Subaru Group N Trophy and the County Saab MSA Scottish Rally
Championship whereas the National ‘B’ event carries rounds of The
County Saab MSA Scottish Rally Championship incorporating The Dunlop
Tyres 2-Wheel Drive Challenge, The ANECCC Stage Rally Championship, The
Brick & Steel 205 Ecosse Challenge 2007, The Beatsons Motorsport
Scottish Borders Rally Championship and the ESACC Stage Rally
Championship.
Regulations will be posted out to registered competitors shortly and
they will be also available on the official website as well as a
downloadable entry form at www.bordercountiesrally.co.uk or by calling
Secretary of the Meeting Steve Nesworthy on 0191 529 0634 or 07773
420666.
Entries for the National ‘A’ event cost £660 with the National ‘B’
event costing £415 eventually close for seeding on Tuesday 13th March
with any remaining places offered up until Tuesday 20th March.
