Shame I have no vehicle with which to partake as that sounds belter

But now I do

What is the minimum licence requirement is it classed as a sprint or do participants need a full bifta rally licence ??

Well, funny you should mention that because I looked at the regs last night and it is very ambiguous. It says an appropriate MSA licence is required but does not say what that is.

In my opinion it should be a national B stage as this is the usual requirement for such and event. If it runs on a non race national B then this would strictly be a sprint which can only be run on a licenced circuit.

Wonder how rough the gravel sections are ?

club sec

Rough enough from what I remember, it isn't like a forest track more muddy and cut up.

"Hi Michael,

Having spoken to Ryan for confirmation on your query he says that the course is mainly tarmac with gravel in low speed areas.
He would say that a tarmac tyre would be fine but would maybe use a gravel tyre to lessen the risk of punctures.
If you can adjust your ride heights that would be a good idea.

The license means just that - National B Driver is fine.

Hope to recieve your entry,

Joyce"
