What To Expect
The festive season starts at Croft Circuit with high-octane action and exhilirating motorsport from the Swift Signs and Shirts Christmas Stages Rally. Organised by the Northallerton Automobile Club, this adrenaline-fueled event is a must-see for rally fans and motorsport enthusiasts.
The event over eight stages and totalling around forty miles is expected to attract the cream of UK asphalt rally drivers once again in a capacity 90-car entry list which will feature many local crews and a varied selection of competition cars.
Previous winners include local businessman Kevin Procter who has won the event no less than eight times and more recently, Frank Bird from Penrith and Durham’s David Henderson have added their names to the honours list.
Extensive free parking is also available with full commentary, trade stalls and food outlets, including Croft’s very own café Hangar 50 which will be open throughout the day serving hot food and drinks. Gates open at 8am with the first stage getting underway at 9am and running throughout the day with the final couple of stages expected to be in darkness.
On Track Action
Elliot Payne, reigning BTRDA champion, leads the field in his Ford Fiesta Rally2 with co-driver Liam Whiteley, making his event debut and facing strong rivals. Triple British Rallycross and 2024 European Rallycross champion Patrick O’Donovan competes in a Ford Escort Mk2 with co-driver Sam Clennel, while his father Ollie O’Donovan shares a Hyundai i20R5 with Callum Spoors.
