Michelin
and Rallying with Group B
are pleased to announce the UK’s only multi-venue rally for Group B
cars and other rally cars of significant note: The Michelin Rallye
Groupe B.
Sponsored
by Michelin, the rally will take place over the bank holiday weekend
of 25/26 August on the roads of Cheshire and North Staffordshire,
with Special Stages in the grounds of castles and stately homes and
service at Oulton Park race circuit.
The
event
is Rallying with Group B’s take on the fabled spectacular stages of
the RAC Rallies of the 1980s and will be run as a National B Event
under the General Regulation of the UK MSA. It will incorporate the
provisions of the International Sporting Code of the FIA and
Appendices K and J, both for competition and demonstration.
Rallying
with Group B’s members have already reserved 60-plus places so
there should be cars to suit every taste that will help recapture the
heady days of this iconic era of rallying.
Regulations
and further details for the event
will be issued as soon as possible and will be available at:
Steve
Dolby, Michelin Product Marketing Manager, comments: “Michelin is
delighted to be involved with the Rallying with Group B Trust on this
spectacular event.
“Michelin
has a strong commitment to motorsport, demonstrated by the fact that
we are at the top of today’s World Rally Championship and we were
also there during the glory days of Group B on such iconic cars as
the Audi Quattro and Peugeot 205 T16. Therefore, it is only natural
that Michelin is involved in this event which aims to recapture the
feel of one of the most memorable periods in rallying’s history”.
