Saturday 2nd March

I have booked (after a long time thinking about it) the BARs course at Oulton Park for me and my son. Any tips or experience anyone wants to share?

We have previously done Harewood Hillclimb, a track day at Cadwell, and a days Rallyschool with TI Rally, so hope we have enough experience. Watching the East Riding Stages has prompted us to get the licences sorted!

Gratuitous picture of our car (it has FIA Papers) which we hope to rally later in the year.

Well, after a bit of confusion about not having all the correct application forms (no mention of this when booking the test...) we did eventually sit and pass the practical and theory tests and now have the licences to allow us to go rallying!

Just need to find some suitable events now...

Excellent - well done!

You probably already know this, but here is a list of all rallies in UK & Ireland in 2024.

Closed road tarmac rallies and the better single venues fill up quickly, so you generally have to get an entry in as soon as they open.

cheers, DB

I didn't know that so thanks.
I tried a couple of times to contact Beverley and District Motor Club but they don't reply. Pity cos they are our local outfit.

Try contacting this lady, she's part of the club and does their publicity - Bev & DMC seems to be a great club and organise one of the best - the East Riding Stages Rally.
