Q: Why can my car club not be located in the centre of the main paddock? A: There are several factors which we take into account regarding placement of clubs. With over 50 clubs in attendance their positioning is a complicated - all the clubs want to be near the centre but we have to compromise. Factors include: the relavence of the cars in line with the Rallying theme of the show, the size of pitch required, how long the club has supported Rallyday, are any members doing track time and we try to locate the clubmans rally teams and motor clubs together. As the show continues to grow the clubs will span a larger area of the circuit.
