Hi everyone,
Last year over 75 Impreza's attended the first Rally Supercar Day and helped the event become a fantastic success. Here's some info to give you a taste of what's in store this year . . . .
Special Guests and Rally Teams
At present, Paddy Hopkirk, Oliver Clark, and Andy Gwynne have confirmed along with the MG X-Power Extreme Rally Team. Several other teams are interested with a possibility of an appearance from the Ralliart Europe Mitsubishi WRC team. Russ Swift will be there doing his popular donut displays and precision driving throughout the day. Tony Mason will be commentating on the feature stage as well as performing a few interviews with guest drivers and teams attending the show.
On Track
On the track, owners of rally cars and road going rally specials and derivatives get the opportunity to have spirited drives around the circuit in track sessions. Track sessions last 6 laps and are run with 12 cars at a time and cost just £20 each.
For car clubs it is a chance to have exclusive sessions for their members to enjoy and gain further exposure to help promote their club. 2002 will also see a track parade for Quattros and Stratos owners clubs.
Entertainment
We have many new entertainment attractions at this years show including Playstation Rally Games, Rally Simulator and a Tamiya Radio Controlled Rally Car track. For those who want to go a bit further there is the opportunity to get strapped into a rally car for a white knuckle ride around the track with a rally driver at the wheel.
Feature Rally Stage
The feature rally stage is the highlight of the event. Rally Cars are started from under a Rally Arch and progress around an untimed Tarmac Rally Stage at 2 minute intervals. Many of the rally cars participating are exceptionally rare and seldom seen in rally competition today making this part of the day a real treat for rally enthusiasts.
Rally Rides by MG Xpower Extreme
There will be 3 JWRC MG Rally cars there performing rally rides throughout the day on an all new rally stage using part of the perimeter road. This gives attendees the chance to ride in a copy of the car Gwyndaff Evans is currently campaigning in the JWRC.
Car Clubs
From Stratos to Subaru, Mini to Metro 6R4, there is just about every car club with cars related to rallying present with some excellent displays on view to the public. With nearly 20 car clubs in attendance this year there will be no shortage of club stands and displays to visit.
Rally Cars
Historic, Classic, Group 4, Group A, Group B, Group S(!), Group N and WRC. Clubmans and ex-Works examples of almost everything that has been rallying over the past 30 years are there to see on display. From Rallycross, the ex Martin Schanke Xtrac Escort will also be back.
Traders
As well as sizeable Manufacturer Displays, traders will be offering rally related goods to the attendees of the show. Model rally cars, tuning parts, decals, rally videos, radio controlled cars, WRC clothing etc.
Spectators
***** Advance Booking Only – Book NOW!!!*****
Anybody wishing to book track time, trader space, paddock parking pass or if they have a rally car to drive or display on the day should visit the event website www.rallyday.com to obtain a booking form. Track sessions, which are currently selling at a high rate, are pre booked only and paddock access is strictly limited to pass holders only on the day so it is important to pre-register if you want an active involvement.
General admission is available on the day and is £8 for adults and free for children under 16.
**** We are very interested in hearing from anyone with a WRC or rare rally car to bring, can be emailed at info@rallyday.com ****
Regards,
Darin

SIDC are trying to organise a display, and they want 100 Scoobs. Sounds like a giggle. I think you have to book through them, so check the Castle Combe thread on the SIDC website forum.
Seeya there kids.

Hi BobT,
The Stratos club have confirmed they'll be attending again this year - not only will they have their own parade session, but hopefully we'll see a few out with the Integrales too! Yes it is a few miles from Yorkshire . . . but well worth the effort!

Darin I'm sending John B a cheque for entry but would like to do the track thing too but am concerned about the insurance side of things. Do you know of any good deals? Being a 22b, replacement value is high and parts take 3wks (ish) to arrive. I know I'm not intending to damage the car but as we all know accidents do happen.....
