9th December 2024, preparations and planning for the 2025 event are well underway as we go into the Christmas period. Ken Quinn and his close organising team of Simon Boddy and Arthur Heaton are busy finalising the route on OS maps 105/106 &100. It will consist of roads less used for a number of years with a total route of approximately 150 miles. This edition of the rally will see the start and finish move from Askham Bryan to Selby . Supplementary regulations have been drafted and sent to Motorsport UK for approval along with the permit applications for both the Interclub and Clubmans Rallies.
Speaking to the website ahead of the submissions, Ken, The Clerk of the Course had this to say;
" I am pleased to be taking over this rally for De Lacy Motor Club and glad that the team and I have been entrusted to put this together. To ensure that we gain the maximum benefit of the hours of darkness together with the cooperation of other motor clubs we have moved our rally forward for 2025 to the weekend of the 5th and 6th of April 2025. I am excited by the prospect of building on last year to maker this one even better. I look forward to making more announcements soon and hope that you can come along and join us"
