Overseas interest strong in R.A.C. Rally

Overseas interest is building for the 2019 Roger Albert Clark Rally and up to 20 foreign crews are expected for the November 21-25 event.

Rally manager Colin Heppenstall has confirmed that nine of the 20 places reserved for overseas crews have already been booked and he is now in discussion with a further 10 crews.

In addition to the nine deposits received, there is serious interest from four crews from Holland, one from Belgium, three from Australia and two from New Zealand.

Heppenstall said: “We’ve always enjoyed good support from European crews and that is certainly the case again for 2019. However, we’re also getting serious enquiries from much further afield.”
