As some of you know I'm partial to a bit of rough stuff. Last weekend the Roger Albert Clark Rallt took place amongst the frozen wastes of the north. I thought i would share some photos with you guys and gals who can remember what real rallying was like. BDA Escorts, Lancia Stratos', Porsche 911s, SAABs and Renault 5 Maxi Turbos at full chat through the snow- really special!

It took 6 hours each way to get into Yorkshire due to the snow and the last 5 miles had to be done on Mountain Bikes, so i hope you like them!

Enjoy Grin

Lovely pics - it all looks so nice and Christmassy!  Just missing a few strings of fairly lights in the fir trees to complete the scene.

Your personal efforts and sacrifieces to bring old skool rallying to the masses are much appreciated.

Great Snaps Dr CreamT Grin, brings back so many memories. Assume you were in Dalby Forest as the Road to hell looks like the Forest Road.

Last time I saw that much snow in the Yorkshire forest was the  National Breakdown Rally back in the mid to late 80's, that was a mega weekend with the old man driving between the stages to spectate. I competed on the 1991 Talkland Rally which was had a dusting of the white stuff between the trees. Will have to dig out the snaps tonight and post.

I remember 2 snowy Yorkshire rallies back in the 80's. One was the National Breakdown in 85 with Michelle Mouton in the Audi and also the 1987 Cartel which had really deep snow. That was the first time Prodrive used the Rothmans Metro 6R4 if i remember correctly. i have the photos up in the loft and probably the programes too.

happy days Wink

You must be bonkers Si, looks pretty cold but probably well worth it, and it gets you out the house. Good to see you are in training for LM.

Good pics.

Excellent pics - thanks for posting them, brought back great memories of nipping over the fence in Sutton Park in the 70s, when the RAC was a real man's endurance rally!

It certainly was a fun weekend to say the least and very challenging, not just for the crews but for us spectators as well as the roads simply were the roads from hell at times. Here are a selection of my own shots from the weekend to accompany Si's
