Darlington and District Motor Club have once again teamed up with fuel conversion specialists Autogas 2000 as well as specialist motorsport PR company, Cartersport, for the Jack Frost Stages Rally which will take place at Croft Circuit on Sunday 19th January 2014.
The event will again comprise up to eight stages totalling around 40 stage miles on the tarmac of the North East's only permanent racetrack and will be a qualifying round of the AS Performance North of England Tarmacadam Championship 2014, Fuchs Titan Race ANCC Stage Rally Championship 2014 and the SG Petch ANECCC Stage Rally Championship 2014.
With typically fast and flowing stages, the event usually attracts a capacity ninety-car entry, including some of the top drivers in the UK. Penrith MotoGP and BSB boss Paul Bird has won the event four times with event sponsor Chris Wise from Thirsk and Scotch Corner preparation expert Tony Bardy having three wins each.
The 2013 event was subject to heavy snowfall in the lead up to the rally and saw Bird unable to add to his winning streak of 2009 to 2012 in his Ford Focus WRC. Instead, Wise added to his victories in 2007 and 2008 in his iconic MG Metro 6R4 which he is expected to contest the event once more.
Scrutineering and documentation take place the same day as the event from 06:00 with the first car starting at 09.15. There are classes for cars up to 1400cc, up to 1600cc, up to 2000cc, over 2000cc and all four wheel-drive cars as well as pre-1981 classic rally cars. The entry fee is £215 and the final closing date is 8th January 2014, although competitors are advised to enter early to avoid disappointment. In a bid to help competitors financially, once again no cheques will be banked before 3rd January 2014 or can be post-dated for that date instead.
