WHAT’ S ON
Phil Price Memorial Woodpecker Rally 30th August, Newtown, Powys, Wales
After a break of more than three months, the Motorsport UK English Rally Championship, sponsored by Kingfisher Insurance, takes to the stages once more with the Woodpecker Rally. David Henderson has spent the summer at the top of the points table but will need to be on his mettle if he is to keep defending champion Elliot Payne and Dylan Fowler-Bishop at bay.’
The penultimate round of the Fuchs British Historic Rally Championship takes the series back onto the Welsh gravel at the Woodpecker Stages, with Baz Jordan leading the overall standings. However, with Adam Milner and David Crossen topping their respective categories, a gripping battle for the title is unfolding.
