From Harrogate it Started... and so it does again at 10am on Thursday 6th November 2008.
Great names from the history books of the Lombard RAC Rally come alive once more with the likes of Boltby, Stang, Hamsterley, Slaley, Kielder on the opening leg, plus several more... and that's just on the way up to Scotland.
Leg One:
will see the cars start from the Royal Hall in Harrogate before making their way to the first of the Selectifs at the Yorkshire Event Centre. From here we go a short distance to the historic Rudding Park where it is rumored the famous water splash will be re-built. The rally heads north taking in the North Yorkshire Moors and on to Kielder for some good old fashioned style motoring before an overnight halt at Glasgow.
Leg Two:
heads further north in to Scotland taking in the breath taking scenery of West Argyll with the route meandering its way through the mountains and lakes. Such venues as Dunoon and Lochgilphead will be visited with a central rest halt at the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar. This section takes in the famous Rest and Be Thankful hill climb before decending once more to the overnight halt at Glasgow.
Leg Three:
heads in to Galloway and Ae forests with stop overs at Castle Douglas and Moffat before an arduous last few evening tests through Craik and Castle O'er. Carlisle is our overnight halt at the end of Leg Three. The Final Leg: sees the Lombard head south once more via Greystoke and Stang, amongst many, ending at Rudding Park for the finale.
