Default Michelin Grp B Rallye Aug 25/26th.

You guessed it their back!!! Yes you heard correct the Grp B monsters from the 80’s are returning on the Michelin Grp B Rallye on August 25/26th.
I’m organising a Rally show to run alongside the 2 day event, it will be a spectator stage with four runs each day totalling 8 stages in all, the Show will be sited in view of the stage so everyone can see these flame spitting beasts hammer past.
The entry sees some exciting machinery with all cars from the era entered, with some interesting names in the pilot seat. It’s definitely not to be missed, to be a part of this very special event please email darrenfoxuk@yahoo.com to ask for further information regarding a club stand or request a Booking Form. The FIA & MSA are in full agreement that footfall will be really high and leave the WRCGB in its wake.

It will be held in Cheshire & North Staffs, the Show will be based at Doddington Hall just South of Nantwich.

If you know anyone who wants to Trade/Exhibit then please ask them to get in touch, Cheers!

Cheers
Darren Fox

Apologies to those who received spam email, my computer was hacked into and emptied all my email contacts, all i can do is say i'm sorry and that AVG is no longer used as my protection !!

As for the event, we are talking about making it all ticket, however should you have a clubstand, the price will be reduced and priority parking in the rally village itself!!!

Please be advised that with immediate effect, the Rallye Groupe B scheduled for 25/26 August 2012 has had to be re-scheduled. This decision has been made due to the loss of key venues at short notice, which has meant that the event could not conform to the permit issued by the MSA.
The Organising Committee has sought to find alternative stages, but given the short timeframe it was decided to postpone this event to a later date. However to fulfil our promise to provide a Group B event in 2012, we have been working with another Rally Team to provide a bolt on event to their rally.
At this time we have initial agreement to run a limited number of cars as both demonstration and competitive and we are now going through the formalities with the Rally Team to ensure MSA approval and all the event requirements are met.
Priority will be given to all fully paid entries and it is expected that the entry fee will be similar to the Michelin Rallye Groupe B to Rallying with Group B members. Please be aware that because we cannot formally announce the event yet, this press release is vague. As soon as details are firmed up, I will release further details to the membership first, then through the website and the Rallying With Group B Facebook page.
This event is in no way a replacement to our home based event and plans are already underway to re-group and agree a new date with existing and proposed venues. Again, please see the website for updates.
The Committee wishes to extend its thanks to all the people who have given the event the support and we hope that you will agree that given the short notice we have been able to provide a suitable alternative to the proposed event.

Once a new date has been approved I'll be in touch again, I'm not on the committee, i'm just an event organiser, i'm as gutted as the rest of you. It will happen!!!!
