Yes I’m aware of that :D it was more about it being Kielder in April and longish stages - though not quite to the scale of the first Pirelli International in ‘92 which was just four big stages! For this period of British rallying and for a rally hastily organised for under 3 months’ time they’ve got something pretty impressive planned.
Colin Heppenstall is quite good at short notice rallies in Kielder. I was working on the 2010 Roger Albert Clark Rally when Colin designed a whole new last day of the event with one day notice after the huge snowfall during the rally.Quote:

Nice looking provisional entries for the Riponian in a week or so's time even with one or two regular names missing.
Interesting that they are back to using Boltby which I never thought would happen
Hasn’t been used since 2019 so I thought the same too. It’s at the expense of the Wass/Pry Rigg combo of recent years - hopefully that will make a return soon as it gives the Riponian some notable differentiation from the Trackrod and Malton Forest Stages.
Interesting that the road closing orders for the Wass area are still showing for the day of the event..
Looks like they applied for the Wass closures and the Gale Rigg closure with the same application, probably too late/too much work to edit or resubmit now. The council will be aware that the Wass roads won't be closed, so it is paperwork only.
The NW Stages has lost Legend Fires as the sponsor after 20 years and will return to a multi-venue format in 2026.
Melvyn Evans Motorsport has posted a pic of 3 Castrol Yaris Rally2 cars on Instagram - interested to see who the 3rd one is for...
