Why is this in the Yorkshire section?
I really really hope this turns out to be much better on the day than it has been looking just lately, it seems to be very rushed, haphazardly put together and the representative who's been touting it on various forums is not very well up on the event at all.
It comes across as an idea thought up in the pub on Friday night then advertised on Saturday.
Why is it called Grp B? Most of the cars featured aren't....
Sorry to be sceptical, like I said, I do hope it turns out to be a good and hopefully growing and repetitive event.

Group B rally club has been going for a while. The non-competitive element is called Slowly Sideways. They demonstrated at the Bradford Classic a few years back.

Can't answer the rest of your questions or see much reasoning behind them but it looks like being a good doo to me. A bit tarmaccy for my liking but I may consider a run. Anyone up for navigating?

Message from the organiser:"Please be advised that with immediate effect, the Rallye Groupe B scheduled for 25/26 August 2012 has had to be re-scheduled. This decision has been made due to the loss of key venues at short notice, which has meant that the event could not conform to the permit issued by the MSA.
The Organising Committee has sought to find alternative stages, but given the short timeframe it was decided to postpone this event to a later date. However to fulfil our promise to provide a Group B event in 2012, we have been working with another Rally Team to provide a bolt on event to their rally.
At this time we have initial agreement to run a limited number of cars as both demonstration and competitive and we are now going through the formalities with the Rally Team to ensure MSA approval and all the event requirements are met.
Priority will be given to all fully paid entries and it is expected that the entry fee will be similar to the Michelin Rallye Groupe B to Rallying with Group B members. Please be aware that because we cannot formally announce the event yet, this press release is vague. As soon as details are firmed up, I will release further details to the membership first, then through the website and the Rallying With Group B Facebook page.
This event is in no way a replacement to our home based event and plans are already underway to re-group and agree a new date with existing and proposed venues. Again, please see the website for updates.
The Committee wishes to extend its thanks to all the people who have given the event the support and we hope that you will agree that given the short notice we have been able to provide a suitable alternative to the proposed event.
Once a new date has been approved I'll be in touch again, I'm not on the committee, i'm just an event organiser, i'm as gutted as the rest of you. It will happen!!!!"
