Looks like spectators are going to see a lot of Ford Escorts....

Looking at our 20p 1973 RAC programme, they were 1st 2nd and 3rd.Originally Posted by Guy Mayers
The thing is, RWD Escorts have never become obsolete, and competition parts supply has been constant since they were first used. A Porsche 911 won the last Roger Albert Clark rally though.

16 scheduled live coverage videos already set up for this rally on youtube.
Can we see the rest of that entry list Chris?
The 1973 one John?
There were 241 entries. Over 4 hours for the rally to pass through with zero holdups, so probably a lot longer.
8 pages of entries in the programme.
No. 68 was driver Jill Robinson, co-driver Jimmy Savile.
Anyone you're looking for in particular?
Tim Tyrer and Ralph Whitby.
Just trying to remember if that was the year they entered in a Mazda RX3 or if they were still in the Mk1 Twincam.
In the Mazda John, No. 187
Do you remember when you had to phone to find out the results? On the other page:
Thanks Chris.
I seem to remember this was the first ever entry of a rotary engined car on the RAC.
I used to work for Tim at weekends and holidays at his narrowboat hire business while I was still at school!
There was always loads of car related stuff going on at Bartington Wharf, including restoration of a Connaught F1 car. Tim was responsible for my interest in both cars and canal boats and has therefore cost me a piggin' fortune throughout my life!!
Looks like great line up of entrants (172) Me and Neil B are Planning a Str trip out day Friday going SS 9 And SS 12, if anyone else is there
