Fans at this year’s Castle Combe Rallyday on September 17 will have an even better chance to see the action during the Legends Stages featuring the star cars and drivers.

Building on the success of the previous BGMsport Legends Stage, this year there will be two separate stages. The first one will use the main paddock area and start in the pitlane before turning hairpin right to head out to Camp Corner before turning hairpin right again and looping back into the paddock area where there will be a split and a merge.

The second stage will start from the same place in the pitlane but will run down through Quarry Corner and the Esses before finishing at Hammerdown. The developmen­t has been designed to ensure that the fans who decide to base themselves at Quarry Corner for the day don’t miss out on seeing the star cars and drivers.

Castle Combe boss Graham Marshallsa­y said: “We’ve seen the enthusiasm building for the Legends Stage over the last two Rallydays. So for this year, we’re going to run two stages. We’re going to have more action on offer than ever from some of the world’s finest rally cars.”

The Legends Stages will run from around 1230hrs until 1400hrs. Before that will be the ever-popular open track sessions on the regular stage using Quarry Corner for a wide a wide array of rally cars. The day will conclude with a Subaru parade at 1630hrs.
