RALLY CLUB

Show Notes

SS9 of RALLY CLUB is a works Escort special, with stories from one of the foremost authorities on Boreham-built rally cars, Dave Watkins.

Keeping the Escort theme, Jon Seth tells us how he chanced upon a significant Motoring News Championship Mk1 Escort, which he’s now campaigning in its original, unique livery.

Paul speaks to the rally driver, tackling an adventure with a difference in the name of charity, and the organisers of the brand new North West Rally Legends event talk about the inspiration behind bringing rally cars back to Haigh Hall for the first time in 40 years.

We also talk road rally logistics with a competitor’s perspective of the Rally App Live system, which has benefitted and divided road rally and targa organisers in equal measure.

And it’s Rallycross week, as Paul prepares to saddle up in the Spark Developments squad for the second round of the Minicross Driver’s Association Championship, driving a fire-breathing 205 GTI in the pre-90s Classics class.
