    On a happier note rallying will return to Croft at the end of November.

    Sheffield and Hallamshire Motor Club have consulted with Miriam Cates MP, BMBC, and Penistone Town Council. All parties have welcomed the proposal for Sheffield and Hallamshire Motor Club to organise a closed road stage rally using the minor roads around Penistone. Subject to Motorsport UK approval

    It is proposed that the rally will comprise of four special stages (competitive sections) using minor roads in predominantly low populated areas. The stages being linked by the use of A and B roads (road sections which are non-competitive). The loop of stages will be run twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. We are considering if possible, to run the two stages to the north west and south west of Penistone a third time.

    Another new closed road event, luckily not far from me. Hopefully works out to run in October 2023.
    If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

    Provisional entry list for the Swift Signs Winter Stages at Croft is looking good.

    Date the rally is scheduled to run is Sunday 27th November.

    Just need the circuit to update its website to attract spectator interest!

    I wonder if Penistone was chosen for it's scenery, the quality of the lanes, or the fact the name is pure banter?

    Did a few road rallies in that area when I lived in Sth Yorks and some half decent roads that could be used.

    Interesting spectator info for the Wyedean Rally on the 15th October.

    https://www.wyedeanstages.co.uk/spectator-information

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    WTF?!! That sounds like a potential for chaos. I know that there have been issues with spectators in the past due to the woods proximity to local housing however the lack of info can only make things worse surely?

    Well yes, there was the infamous 2015 running, which made the front page of the MNews, and a strong letter from the then MSA Chairman. It moved to October/November and is no longer part of the BTRDA.

    I would love to know the thinking; without knowing all the details, it has all the hallmarks of Forestry England not wanting the sport in the Forest of Dean........

    It's a pretty popular MTB venue, GMBN uses it, and has been/is used by World Champions for skills training.

    Brilliant, I’ve missed all three of my local rallies this year for one reason or another. Maybe I’ll try the Cambrian instead
