[sal]

Remember the Chatsworth House spectator stage on the RAC's of old? Then this new 2 day show in September may just be for you! Looks like being a great event. Not too far to travel from York where I now live.

Infor from the press release I found...

THE RALLY SHOW at CHATSWORTH
Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th September
2007

Special stage rallying will return to
Chatsworth in Derbyshire on 29th and 30th
September 2007 for a new event, The Rally
Show at Chatsworth.

The two-day event will include:
:: Three competitive special stage rallies, for
both historic and modern rally cars.
:: A pageant of "Rallying History", featuring
many of the world's greatest rally cars.
:: Precision and stunt-driving displays,
including TV star Russ Swift.
:: "Stage Sessions" for owners of competition
and modified road cars, giving them the
opportunity of driving the special stages under
non-competitive 'track day' conditions.
:: Motor sport exhibitions and sales units.
:: One-make, rally car and cruising car club
vehicle displays.
:: High-quality food and beverages.

A different special stage layout is planned for
each day, using the fast and demanding
asphalt park roads and including the
spectacular jump and water splash, two
features which earned the stage an
international reputation.

The all-ticket event is the brain-child of
Malcolm Neill, who for 14 years (1986 to
1999), was RAC Rally Manager. During his
time, Chatsworth regularly attracted in
excess of 20,000 spectators and a number
of BBC TV live outside broadcasts.

A two-day adult ticket purchased in advance
is £21, including an official programme (worth
£3). Children up to age 9, accompanied by an
adult, are admitted free. Tickets can be
booked online at http://www.therallyshow.org.

"We are planning a wonderful weekend of
motor sport at Chatsworth, with famous
drivers in fabulous cars, demonstrating their
skills on the renowned Chatsworth Stages.
Special attention is being paid to providing
superb viewing areas for spectators and -
with the Rally Show, exhibitions, special
demonstrations and lots more - it should be
a great weekend for motor sport fans and
families alike," said Malcolm.

Chatsworth was last used as a timed special
stage on the 1996 Network Q Rally of Great
Britain.

Is this event possibly going to be added to the SS schedule, or is the calendar for 07 already full?

Chris. Seems the type of event that should be supported by SS. Early days yet but perhaps a chat with Mal Neil would no go amiss.

The Calendar is over full but I like the idea of Chatsworth. We have been working hard recently to try to bring our cars to the attention of northern rally fans - therefore expect to see something stunning this year which will involve the closure of a major City Centre ( not a million miles from you) to run a Rally Stage ! And yes for our Gp B cars.
