North Yorkshire Classic Rally

After the bitter cold of Saturday, it was back out on Sunday to slightly warmer climbs, in the grounds of Duncombe Park, Helmsley, North Yorkshire, to spectate at a great classic car rally.
With help from the York Motor Club, I was able to take photos on one of the Rally stage tests, which was run twice. Once in the morning, and once after lunch.
A great selection of cars, including some gorgeous Alfas, Porsches and Escorts, and no snow on the ground made for a great day out.
Apparently after most teams made a navigational error, the event was won by a team running a Hillman Imp, which was great to hear.

    Thank You Mark,
    Great to meet you, and thank you for your help in organising this for me. I had a great day and was happy to come home with some shots with which I was happy.
    Hope to see you again in the future, It isn't always easy for me to find out about motorsport in the area, so any events you hear of, I would be happy to find out more about.
    Thanks again
    Matt
