CIRENCESTER CAR CLUB, RALLY HISTORY
Cirencester Car Club have a history of running quality events dating back to the 1970s when Lord Bathurst invited the Club to run stage rallies in Cirencester Park. Firstly known as the Park stages, and thereafter as the Arkell Rally having taking its name from the event sponsor, Arkells Brewery, and formed part of the National Championship. These events were a great success with the top national drivers competing. This was followed by the RAC asking the Club to organise a major stage on the International RAC Rally.
In the Eighties the club ran two events a year at Down Ampney. The venue was moved to RAF Kemble until the airfield was sold into private ownership.
SPECTATORS
Unfortunately no spectators are allowed in the venue. However, marshals are more than welcome.
