Richard Burns Memorial Rally 15th 16th Aug

[Mcgoo]

Thought this may be of interest to some of you if you haven't got much on this weekend. I heard it was a good weekend last year and set to be better this year.

I'll probably go and have a look myself tomorrow.

from the site;

 

"Working in partnership with personnel from RAF Marham, the Kings Lynn & District Motor Club will transform the stations runways and link roads into over 100 miles of competitive stages. Improvements for 2009 include spectator viewing access to the paddock area where the teams will carry out their rapid servicing and emergency repairs. It is anticipated that up to 120 teams will enter this year and that the Estonian former World Rally star, Marko Martin, will defend his 2008 title. Other notable British Rally Champions Mark Higgins and Guy Wilks are also set to attend the event.

 

Celebrities from Stage and Screen including Rupert Grint (Ronald Weasley from the Harry Potter Films), Neil Cole, World Rally commentator from Sky TV channel Dave, and Mike Brewer TV presenter will also attend over the weekend.

 

Owing to the unique location of the event the Royal Air Force will be represented in the sky on the Sunday 16th August by the world famous RAF Red Arrows Display Team and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. In addition there will be a host of family entertainments, classic cars, static aircraft and a range of refreshment stands making the event a fantastic attraction for all the family.
