North West Stages Rally

BLACKPOOL GETS SET TO ROCK!
Plans for the 2008 North West Stages Rally are getting close to finalisation and the organising team from Motorsport (North West) Ltd reckon next year's event will be the toughest ever. Legend Fires, the Blackburn based company owned by Metro 6R4/Accent WRC driver John Stone, will sponsor the rally for a fifth consecutive year and the event will be known as the Legend Fires North West Stages Rally.

The rally will again be based in Blackpool and will take place on Saturday 16th February with scrutineering located at Moorland Motors the previous evening. The action is due to start early morning with the long Promenade Stage, starting in the north at Norbreck, that has only been used once before in 2006.

The provisional route contains in excess of 80 stage miles with around 120 road miles and with six stages run in darkness competitors can expect a late finish! Also included in this year's schedule is a brand new stage at a never rallied before venue but the location of this must remain secret for security reasons.

The cleverly designed route promises to offer spectators more than 12 hours of almost none stop action so everyone needs to be prepared for a very long day!
