More Incentives For 2010 MSA Gravel Rally Championship
Following on from the recent announcement regarding some radical changes to the 2010 MSA Gravel Rally Championship, a number of further incentives were announced at the annual ANCRO Gala Awards Dinner held in Daventry at the weekend.
£4000 Prize for 1400cc Cup
Eligible for any 1400cc car in Group N or Group A (classes 1 & 6), whereby the winning driver will receive a free entry to all rounds of the 2011 series, worth around £4,000. Other than the standard £5 registration fee for the 2010 MSA Gravel Rally Championship (free for co drivers), there are no other registration costs and a competitor's best five rounds from the six events will count. Drivers must start a minimum of two rounds to qualify and as well as there being no control tyre or control fuel, wherever possible, these classes will run at the front of the field.
Pattersons Pacenotes All-Ireland ChallengeAimed at encouraging resident Irish crews to come over to the UK to contest the 2010 MSA Gravel Rally Championship, as well as national pride, there is an added incentive of subsidised ferry costs up to £300 per car, depending on numbers at each event.
