Entries flood in Roger Albert Clark Rally
The entry list for the 2025 Roger Albert Clark rally has broken the 200 mark after entries opened on Friday evening (March 7). The maximum entry for the five-day rally is 180 cars for a route of around 350 stage miles running from November 20-24. The initial draft entry list will be published on Monday, March 24.
In just 48 hours, a total of 205 entries were received for the main five-day event, with a further 22 entries for the MINI Challenge Kielder Rally, which will cover 43 stage miles on Saturday November 22.
Entries poured in from across the UK, Ireland, Europe and around the world, including entries from South Africa, Australia and the USA. Significantly, 28 entries have been taken from overseas crews, with a group of cars from Italy including three of the new Lancia Ypsilon Rally4s, three cars from the Czech Republic and two Ford Escorts from Australia. In all, 48 types of car are represented in the list.
Prospective entrants are required to pay a £1000 deposit to secure a place on the initial entry list, and the great majority of the 205 entrants to date have already paid their deposit.
Rally manager Colin Heppenstall said: “We're overjoyed by the response. We're very pleased that competitors from all over the world want to come and do the Roger Albert Clark Rally.”
Entries for the rally remain open as there will inevitably be some withdrawals in the build up to the event. However, it is expected that the drop-out rate will be less than in previous years.
Importantly, the Open Rally for two-wheel-drive non-historic and four-wheel-drive historic Category 4 cars is very well supported. The quality of the entry matches the quantity with many leading contenders. A number of star names are expected to join the entry list and more details of those will be announced in due course.

All the best, hope you get a run; when did it appear on your bucket list ?
The idea was concocted the day after the Mull rally last year - I was trying to talk my driver there (Lewis) into driving on the RAC but then his service crew suggested we swap seats... and it grew from there. I was sober at the time too!
Some seat swap, provisional list out in less than a week which will be interesting.sjabrown said:
