Clubmen to be rewarded in R.A.C. Championship

Clubmen contenders in the 2014 West Wales Rally Spares R.A.C. Rally Championship will have the chance to win back half of the entry fee on each of the championship’s seven rounds. This on-going partnership between the Roger Albert Clark Rally Motor Club and Holton Homes is aimed squarely at clubman competitors. After each rally, one lucky crew will be drawn from the hat for a unique 50% refund of their entry fee. 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. For instance, it will exclude cars running in classes C4 and C5 (Category 2) and classes D4 and D5 (Category 3), thus prohibiting the more powerful cars.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 during the 2014 season.“We want the R.A.C. Rally Championship to be 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 excellent award, which will give the budget of seven crews a real boost across the season.”The 2014 R.A.C. Rally Championship starts on the Red Kite Stages on Sunday 2 February and more details are available from www.redkitestages.co.ukThe West Wales Rally Spares R.A.C. Rally Championship is the only championship that runs historics first on the road on all events.
