CASTLE COMBE RALLYDAY IS GO FOR 2023 EXTRAVAGAN­ZA

Gwyndaf Evans tops the stars for Wiltshire race circuit gathering

- By Paul Lawrence

The best of British is a key theme of this year’s Castle Combe Rallyday as the Wiltshire race circuit is turned over to a celebratio­n of rallying on Saturday, September 17.

As well as a raft of cars on show, Rallyday will include lots of on-stage action, headlined by the Rallyday Legends stage, which will use a different, more challengin­g stage to that used for the other on-track sessions. For an hour in the middle of the day, the star drivers and cars will be in action on the Legends stage where British Rally champion Gwyndaf Evans will be one of the leading stars.

The Rallyday Legend stage incorporat­es sections of the track and paddock used on the Castle Combe stage of the

1983 RAC Rally. The usual demo stage, will use the section of circuit from Camp to Quarry.

Cars from BGM Sport will be a major draw with Ian Gwynne and David Higgins on hand to drive them. The team plans to take at least six cars, including an ex-Hannu Mikkola

Audi Quattro Sport S1, an ex-Prodrive BMW M3 and an ex-Juha Kankkunen Subaru Impreza WRC.
