Brean Rally organisers announce date of their 16th annual event

-

Organisers of the annual Brean Stages Rally are gearing up for their 16th annual event, which is set to roar into action during January 2012.

The K&R Mitsubishi Stages Rally will be held during the weekend of January 28th and 29th.

The action-packed rally will be held entirely within the confines of Brean Leisure Park and will see 85 rally cars tackle 12 special stages over two days.

The rally, promoted by Club Rallysport West, will form the opening round of the Association of South Western Motor Clubs and the Cotswold Motor Sport Group Rally Championships.

The event has been held every year since 1997 proves popular with both competitors and spectators alike. Among the entries for 2012 will be drivers out to defend their 2011 championship titles who hope to kick start the new championship year in winning style.

“The rally will contain a range of cars, from the ever popular Ford Escorts, Vauxhall Nova’s, Corsa’s, and Peugeots, through to the more exotic, state of the art World Rally Cars, such as the Ford Fiesta and Focus, Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Evos,” organiser Rod McKenna told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

“Spectators will again be well looked after, with a covered seated grandstand and heated al-fresco snacks available in the spectator areas.”

Spectators will be admitted to the park over both days for an admission charge of £5 (accompanied children under 12 will be free) and car parking will be £5.

The rally will be supporting two organisations, Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance and specialist motor sport rescue unit, West Country Rescue. One of the supporting attractions over the weekend will be a display stand representing The Dorchester based Clay Pigeon Kart Club.
