600cc cars to be rewarded in WWRS R.A.C. Rally Championship‏

Drivers in 1600cc cars competing in the West Wales Rally Spares R.A.C. Rally Championship will have a chance of winning 50% of the entry fee  for the Roger Albert Clark Rally (28-30 November) in a new award presented by Jordan Road Surfacing.In 2014 the award will be worth nearly £1000 as half of the entry fee for the November event, while for 2015 it is planned to double the prize  and offer a full entry fee for the 2015 Roger Albert Clark Rally.Regular competitor Barry Jordan has recently switched to rallying a 1600cc Hillman Avenger and is keen to encourage more 1600cc cars out onto  the stages. Cars like the Avenger and 1600cc Ford Escort Mk1s and Mk2s offer some of the most affordable ways of getting into historic  rallying. Jordan will not be eligible for the award, which will go to the leading 1600cc car from classes C2 and D2.“There seems to be a lot of interest in 1600cc cars at the moment and I know of several cars being built,” said Jordan. “I thought it would be  a good idea to help the championship attract more 1600cc entries. Being able to run at the front is really good news and I’d like to think  there could be 10 or 12 cars on most events next year.”
