Past and current Rally legends set to collide
With a special tribute to the Audi Quattro, one of the most iconic cars of the 80s and the first rally car to take advantage of the change in rules which allowed the use of four-wheel drive in competition racing, Stig Blomqvist will drive a selection of ex-works quattros from the beginning of the Big Wing S1 evolution.
Bringing the Rally Stage bang up to date is the reigning British Rally Champion Keith Cronin who will be at the wheel of the Aston Martin V8 Rally GT, owned by Jeremy Bailey and prepped by David Appleby Engineering. The ex-Prodrive car has competed in the Italian Tarmac Rally Championship and will take part in a number of Aston Martin Owners Club events.
Race Retro will also celebrate 25 years since Russell Brookes won his last BRC title with a reunion of all the Andrews Heat for Hire cars including the Ford Escort Mk2, Talbot Sunbeam, Ford Sierra Cosworth and two versions of the Opel Manta 400 that he used from 1973 until 1994. Russell said: “It will be a really exciting trip down memory lane. I have fond memories of the Monte Carlo Ford Escort as it was one of the most expensive rally cars I ever drove. I won the Welsh International in the Manta in 1987, the car’s last international win.”
