Up to 100 drivers are gearing up to take part in the 22nd annual Brean Rally, which is set to return to the village’s Leisure Park during January.
The rally will be held over the weekend of 27th and 28th January 2018 with pre-rally scrutineering of the cars at Weston College Skills Campus Motorsport Technology Centre on Locking Road on Friday 26th January.
Voted the South West’s Rally of the Year for the third time in 2016, the Brean Stages Rally is promoted by locally based Club Rallysport West and is held entirely within the confines of Brean Leisure Park.
Organisers say it is expected to attract a capacity entry of up to 100 cars. The drivers will tackle the 12 special stages over two days around the roads of the Leisure Park and requests for entries have been received from all around the UK.
A wide range of rally cars are set to take part, from the spectacular World Rally Cars to the ever popular Ford Escorts, Vauxhalls and Peugeots.
A feature of the rally will be the pre-rally scutineering of the cars, which will take place at the Weston College Campus in the Locking Road on the Friday preceding the rally. This provides an excellent chance for the public to see the rally cars close up and admission to the campus is free.
Once again the organisers are ensuring that spectators will be well looked at Brean over the two days, with three spectator areas giving viewing of the rally stages.
This, together with a covered seated grandstand and the park’s inside and outside catering facilities, will provide a weekend extravaganza of motorsport.
Spectators will be admitted to the park over both days for an admission charge of £10 (accompanied children under 12 will be admitted free) and car parking will be £5.
