Cheers mate! You'll like this too then....

Looks warmer than it was!

So true. Got fed up of being cold doing the lap timing during the night the previous 4 years, so this year jeans and fleece went on for the night hours.

Yup, I was genuinely cold at 4am; not what you expect in UAE but it was early January I suppose!

Those 2 photographers pull off some extraordinary shots in that set! To correctly expose and focus a night time panning shot is no small task!

Fabulous pic..
King Kenny? But who else, trying to rack my brains for bespectacled bike racers from the Transatlantic days??

Will Hartog on the inside or is it middle..he also ran 32 on Yammy on occasion so who was number 1???? is it 1978 bye the way..was thinking Korky Ballington may be one but doubtful

AHH. much racking of brains…78. Steve baker in middle and Wil Hartog inside ???

No.1's helmet is the give away

A bit of Googling proves you right on no.32 with Steve Baker but it's 1977. Five points out of 10!

Steve baker makes it 77 or 78..

aha.. 77, Ago's last season before retirement….

You're confusing me with The no 2 Yamaha now…It must be Kenny?? If it is Kenny then it must be a UK transatlantic race since he didn't compete proper with yamaha in the world champs till 78..

White number backgrounds say that it's Formula 750, probably Imola 200...

1990 round of the EARS/MN Rally Championship apparently. 6R4s vs Darrians - awesome!

I don't suppose you have any more info on this series do you?!

What do you want to know ? Did the 90/91 series , a long time ago now , the pic must have been taken at Pembrey I'm thinking , although John Price was using the Duckhams sponsored car by then >

Oulton Park according to the chap who posted the photo. I've no other information though, I'm afraid.

it just seems an interesting series, rally/rallyx I am guessing, vs. circuit racers, are there any photos, entry lists etc?

Thanks, and thanks for sharing all the very interesting photos you share

The Ears Motoring News Championship was a tarmac rally championship based in the UK with a couple of events in Southern Ireland on the closed roads. It was a standard rally championship ('standard' as in run in the same manner as most other rally championships, not 'standard' as in standard cars) with one exception, a once a year race at Oulton Park hence the above pictures.

The championship still runs with different sponsors as below

No, there was never a race included in the championship , where are you getting this info from ? Took part on the tarmac (motoring news)series on and off from 87 through to 92 and never was there a race at Oulton Park as a round .

One of our memories is really playing tricks on us

On Twitter, Paul Fearnley (MN Rallies editor at the time) commented about the above photo ' Dave Appleby (25) about to win EARS/MN race at Oulton Park, 1990'

It sticks in my mind as at the time I worked for Tony MacWhirter who ran a 205 RWD in the series and took lots of the staff out on a corporate day (I didn't go, might have been competing elsewhere). I convinced myself this was to Oulton for a race that was part of the series but it's a long time ago now

Yes thats definitley my Dad, David in No.25. Got another picture from that same Oulton Park event that I need to find, have seen it somewhere!
