Classic car enthusiasts should head to Roger Albert Clark Rally

Roger Albert Clark Classic Car Rally

Classic and vintage car insurance policyholders with a passion for historic rally vehicles may be tempted to attend this year's Roger Albert Clark Rally, which will take place at the Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire in less than two months.

The event, which will kick off on December 3rd, is set to provide something for everyone, with visitors expected to flock from around Europe to catch a glimpse at iconic vehicles from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

Named in honour of the legendary British rally driver Roger Clark, the showcase is run in the same spirit as the famous Lombard RAC races that were attended by sizeable crowds throughout Britain during decades gone by.

Tracey Morley, Croft's circuit manager, said: "We are extremely proud to be hosting a stage of this year's Roger Albert Clark Rally - the sight and sound of these charismatic cars always makes for an electric atmosphere."

The recreation gives followers of the booming historic rally scene the chance to enjoy an iconic line-up of competition-tuned Ford Escort MKIs and MKIIs, Porsche 911s, Vauxhall Chevettee HSRs, Lancia Stratos and Fulvias, Saab 96s and Mini Coopers.

"They represent some of the UK motoring industry's most iconic models of car and many of the public who watched them being rallied in their heyday remain fans," Ms Morley added.

With just five weeks to go until the vehicles grace the venue, located just south of Darlington off the A167, classic car enthusiasts are urged to leave December 3rd free in their diaries to allow them to witness the spectacular recreation.

Earlier this year, the Croft Circuit was the scene of the title-deciding rounds of the Darlington & District Motor Club's hotly-contested Northern Sports & Saloon Car Championship.

Tickets cost just £10, with attendees able to pay on the game, while children aged 15 and under are permitted to enter free.
