A special award for competitors in the 2013 RAC Rally Championship will give one lucky crew half their entry fee back after each of the championships seven rounds.The award is the result of a partnership between the Roger Albert Clark Motor Club and Holton Homes and is aimed squarely at clubman competitors. The award will not be open to the top end cars in the championship.The Holton Homes Clubmans Award will be for drivers in all cars with two valves per cylinder and cars with four valves per cylinder up to 1600cc. It will exclude cars running in classes C4 and C5 (Category 2) and classes D4 and D5 (Category 3), thus prohibiting the most powerful Ford Escorts and Porsche 911s.Following each championship round, the names of all eligible drivers will go into a hat and the lucky driver drawn out will get a cheque refunding half the entry fee, typically around 250. Once a driver has won the award, they will not be eligible to win it again in the 2013 season.One of the founding principles of the RAC Rally Championship was to make it accessible to as many crews as possible, particularly those running less powerful cars on more limited budgets, said championship manager Colin Heppenstall. We are very grateful to the RACRMC and Holton Homes for providing this very worthwhile award, which will give seven crews a real boost across the season.The 2013 championship starts on the Red Kite Stages on Sunday 20 January and event regulations are available from www.redkitestages.co.uk
