Malton Forestry Entry Fee Prize Freeze

Route planning is already well under way for this year’s event, and the organising team is working on some exciting proposals to benefit both competitors and spectators alike.

We are pleased to announce that the entry fee will be frozen, and so, for the 3rd year running, it will be £460. We will maintain the usual 40 miles of stages, but this year each of the 6 stages will be different. We are also in discussions which may lead to a different type of vehicle joining the event in a class of its own.

The event will take place on the traditional date of Sunday, 3rd November and will again be based at the Dalby Forest Visitor Centre near Pickering, North Yorkshire. The stages will be held in Langdale, Gale Rigg and Cropton forests with central servicing at Adderstone Fields which is close to the start location in Dalby Forest. This start location will enable a compact event with reduced public road mileage whilst maintaining the usual 40 miles of stages.

This will be the 16th year that Chris Mellors, proprietor of the MEM World Rally Team, has supported the club with various events. MEM prepares the works PROTON S2000 rally cars for the IRC and Asia Pacific Championships.

Regulations will be available in late August on the rally website www.maltonforestrally.co.uk Online entries will be available and requests for paper versions of the regulations should be made to the entries secretary, Maxine Leggott, 6 Meadowfields Close, Easingwold, York, YO61 3DP Tel 01347 821391

A good entry of historic cars is anticipated as the event counts for points in the Motoscope Northern Historic Championship. Historic cars will run at the front of the field. The event is also a counting round of the following regional championships: ANECCC, ANCC, ANEMMC.
