The afternoon of Friday 26th September saw the North Yorkshire seaside town of Filey play host to almost 170 rally cars as they gathered on the sea front for the ceremonial start of the 2025 Trackrod Rally Yorkshire.
The Woodpecker Rally is now firmly settled into its new Mid Wales base after last year’s move from Ludlow. The switch has opened up some of the sport’s most famous gravel stages, with around 45 competitive miles on offer through Hafren and the rarely used Tarenig – stages that have shaped rallying history for decades.
From the stunning Cowal Peninsula in Scotland, the Dunoon Presents Argyll Rally would return to host the Asphalt, British Historic and Scottish Rally Championships.
Organised by the Mull Car Club, the event featured over 66 competitive miles across 16 Asphalt stages. Spread over two days, a little under one hundred crews would tackle this magnificent event from its rally HQ in Dunoon.
After months of waiting, the sounds of rally cars would once again reverberate around the Welsh countryside; at the 2025 Plains rally. This year, the Plains would not only see the event return to national rallying after suffering insufficient entries last year but would also signal the return of rallying to the Welsh Forests for the first time since the Cambrian Rally back in October last year.
The 2025 British Rally Championship was reawakened for the second round of the season, the much-anticipated Kielder Carlisle Stages, which made their triumphant return to the BRC calendar for the first time since 2019.
Last weekend the British Stage rally season kicked off in earnest with the KT Green Riponian Stages Rally. Based out of the North Yorkshire town of Thirsk
The Motorsport UK British Historic Rally Championship is set to kick off this weekend with the first round of the 2025 season.
It’s February 2024 in North Yorkshire, and the opening round of the 2024 Motorsport UK, FUCHS Lubricants, British Historic Rally Championship is being hosted by the Riponian Rally.
After three back-to-back Asphalt events, the Motorsport UK, FUCHS Lubricants British Historic Rally Championship would return to gravel for the eighth round of its 2024 season. With the return to perhaps the Championships favoured surface, The Phil Price Memorial Woodpecker Rally would also see an increased level of participation across the field, as the series now heads into the business end of the championship.
In Powys, Wales, situated between Brecon and Llandovery and to the North of the A40 which links the two, lies an area called Mynydd Epynt. This area forms the core of the MOD Sennybridge Training Area (SENTA) but is known to many in our world simply as “Epynt”.
Epynt has a rich history in British and indeed Welsh motorsport and we the rallying world look fondly upon it. It has played host to countless stage rallies over the years, the RAC Rally and has hosted Britain’s round of the World Rally Championship (WRC) throughout the nineties and noughties.
