Rally Yorkshire

[anonymous-user]

Morning, I've never been to this rally (http://www.trackrodmotorclub.co.uk/RYhome.html) and was just wondering if anyone here and could give me tips as to where to stand?
Going on my own this time as well...both my mates who I usually go with are busy. So any tips just fire away!
And I'm going on the Saturday.

head for Adderston Arena which is the service area in Dalby, 2 stages very close to there, not sure of timings though :-(

Ceramonial start in Scarborough on Friday night will be good if you want to see the cars close up, but personally i'd head for The Woodyard in Dalby, you can usually see two sections of the stage without moving.

Cars are in Dalby Friday night and, I think, Saturday afternoon.

I'll more than likley be stuck at HQ keeping the tea urn and biscuit box company!

Was aiming for Cropton, more car running time.

It will be a good event. Historics, plus the youngsters in the FWD cars, and they do peddle them! Thinking of doing Dalby and Cropton....

I'd suggest that's not a good place to aim for - parking will be impossible unless you've got a service pass.

Shame the OP can't make the Friday night run of the Historics and BRCs through Dalby
http://www.trackrodmotorclub.co.uk/RY_12_Regulatio... has the timings of which sections are where and when.
If anyone has an idea which Langdale layout is being used I'd be most grateful.
BTW as for 'these forests are the only spectator zones' malarky - If you are on a marked footpath then you cannot be refused access as there are no relevant notified footpath closures. A forest can be 'closed', public rights of way must be maintained unless properly authorised notices have been advertised.
If going off-piste then provifding you act in a responsible manner and obey any requests from the marshalls your presence will usually be tolerated.
The weather looks ideal for the weekend

I'll be in Dalby Fri night and with a bit of luck it might actually dry out a bit once the rain stops , good forecast for Sat though.

Perfect weather for rallying and car of the night was,

Not good, Stefan Stouff was going well and that Stratos is loud, my ears were still ringing when I got home,

The noise is unreal! Was amazing listening to it on Rally GB as it blasted over the Route 60 section of Halfway

It let out a bark when they fired it up at scrutineering and it didn't half scare one of the marshals.

Looks a lot better in it's new colours as well.

I had the pleasure of being stood next too him on the start line of ss1 on rally gb this year!

As loud as it may be at full chat over route 60, those 3seconds or so he planted the throttle to launch were enough to get my ears ringing all day!
Its harder on the ears than the MINI WRC at launch!

Amazing but yet again I forgot to take a photo of it!
Did this at WRC Wales few weeks ago, just stopped and watched.

Amazing finish to the Trackrod, Tom Cave & Osian Pryce finished level on time. They had to go back to Stage1, were Tom was quicker - by 0.1 of a second. Fantastic event.

Well done to Keith Cronin on securing his 3rd BRC Title - about time he went into the world stage. However, needs backing...
If he was called Croninen, I've no doubt he'd have the backing.....

[Ranger 6]

Excellent finish - what an atmosphere at the finish of Langdale!!




Didn't get to see the Stratos in action as it was running behind us. We were parked close in Adderstone though

Cronin at Gale Rigg



Banner through the Woodyard



Price, also in Dalby 1 Woodyard

The rallying alone was good but 10 miles of autumnal walking in Dalby and Newtondale, the post-Friday Dalby fish and chips in Thornton Dale at 1030 on a bench watching various crews disperse and the Saturday lunchtime pint of Tom Wood's Gold before getting back to Dalby all made it a very pleasurable weekend

Bugger, I thought this was a little later in the year usually? Parents have a cottage in Pickering and I have never once managed to get up there to watch some rallying ( Any other events of note that way this year?

The Malton Forest Rally is on Sunday 4th November, and the R.A.C Rally is from the 23rd-25th November.
