Clubmen competitors in the 2011 Dunlop/WONAGO MSA British Historic Rally Championship will be competing for the Holton Homes 'Spirit of Clubmen' Awards, which will give three crews a free entry into a 2012 championship round.Three crews, one from each category, will be selected by an expert panel, which will be looking for crews that typify the ethos of clubmen, competing in a self-prepared car and running on limited funds. The panel will also consider crews that have endured more than their share of misfortune across the season.Supported by Holton Homes, the company of BHRC contender Peter Egerton, the 'Spirit of Clubmen' award will present three fully paid entry fees for 2012; one to the category 1 cars, one to the category 2 cars and one to the category 3 cars. Each award is worth around £500. Crews will need to start at least three events in 2011 to qualify for the awards."We wanted to make a difference to crews running on limited finances," said Egerton. "I'm pleased to be able to put something back into the sport and I hope that these awards could make the difference between a crew entering a rally and being forced to miss it.""This is a fantastic scheme to recognise and reward the effort of the lower-budget clubmen competing in the BHRC – the continued presence of such competitors adding hugely to the interest and atmosphere of the series," said series co-ordinator Simon Marks. "We are very grateful to Holton Homes for continuing its support of these awards."
