Motorsport UK met with stakeholders in November last year to devise a new strategy to help grow rallying in the UK and promote the discipline to both existing and new audiences. The introduction of a rally festival to showcase the discipline was tabled by by M-Sport-Ford World Rally Championship team principal Richard Millener.
While the concept is in its infancy, the idea is to bring rallying to the public through a showcase of historic and modern vehicles, featuring the current WRC Rally1 cars, and including a competitive stage rally element - held in either an urban environment on closed roads or at a bespoke venue.
