Don't know if people have seen this (Historic show at Stoneleigh)?

Looks like quite a lot of rallying interest: Slowly Sideways Group B cars, Winter challenge start, 'live' tarmac rally stage... Anyone go last year?

According to press release:

"RALLY CARS
In action on the rally stage will be a selection of famous ex-works rally cars supplied by the Slowly Sideways group. To mark 25 years since the debut of
the Audi Quatto, which began the four-wheel drive revolution at the 1980 Algarve Rally, the actual original car will be driven, as it was 25 years ago, by
Hannu Mikkola. Joining him will be four other Quattros, an Alitalia Lancia Stratos, Triumph TR7 V8, Fiat 131 Abarth, Martini Lancia 037, Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, two Renault Maxi 5 Turbos, Nissan 240RS, no fewer than four Computervision Metro 6R4s and a Ford RS200 Evolution. On display in the Rally Hall will be an ex Rauno Aaltonen Austin Healey 3000, the Mini Cooper
in which Timo Makinen won the RAC Rally, and a selection of Lancias, Ford Escorts and Audi Quattros from David Sutton's historic collection."

Sounds a bit tasty!

There's also a thread about this on the historic forum.

I went last year, it wasn't bad - the live stage last year was pretty good with a wide selection of cars (although it was very cold - it started snowing at one point!). I'm planning on going again this year - the presence of the slowly sideways group sealed it for me - not often you get so many group B cars in one place, especially running on a stage (albeit a small one).

Yep the Historics have been running this for a couple of weeks.

looks good not just for rallying but for the club racer too.
