Driver Neil Weaver and his co-driver, Jack Morton, are set to compete in the RAC Rally (Roger Albert Clark Rally). The rally begins in Carlisle, before covering 320 miles of gravel tracks and 826 miles of road across England, Scotland and Wales. Bristol Street Motors is supporting Neil and Jack by paying their £4,500 entry fee, enabling their heavily modified Vauxhall Corsa B S1600 to take part in the five-day event. The Roger Albert Clark Rally is the biggest race in the UK, with 147 cars competing over 31 stages, covering over 1,000 miles. Carlisle hosts a ceremonial start, before competitors head to Kielder Forest, then into forestry areas of Dumfries and, finally, mid-Wales. The rally only permits pre-1990 vehicles and recreates the iconic RAC rallies of the 1970s and 80s. Both Neil and Jack have extensive rally experience, with more than 250 races between them. Neil is a well-respected rally expert, offering car preparation from his Weaver Motorsport base in Wales. 26-year-old Jack, who began co-driving at just 14, comes from racing pedigree; his father, Phil, competed in the British Rally Championship and other competitions in the late 1990s and 2000s. Jack credits his father with giving him the ‘rally bug’. Neil Weaver, driver, said: “I think Jack thought I was joking when I asked if he was up for the Roger Albert Clark rally, but I’m glad to have him in the seat next to me. This is the most intense rally in the UK, with five days of seriously testing driving conditions. “Having the backing of Bristol Street Motors is a huge honour, it’s a well-known brand across the country and I’m sure we will represent them well.” Jack Morton, co-driver, said: “It’s fantastic to have the support of Bristol Street Motors as we prepare for this rally. “This is the first time I’ve taken part in the RAC; it has a reputation as the biggest and best rally in the UK, so I’m really excited to take on the challenge. Entering these races can be very expensive, so this sponsorship takes away that worry and allows us to just focus on the driving.” Robert Forrester, Chief Executive of Bristol Street Motors, said: “This is the most souped-up Corsa I’ve seen and looks fantastic with our Bristol Street Motors and Click2Drive livery across it. “I’m really pleased that we’ve been able to support Neil and Jack with their entry into the Roger Albert Clark Rally, and I wish them the very best of luck. It’s always a tough race, but I’m sure that Neil has built a machine worthy of the challenge, and with Jack by his side, I’m positive they will do well.” Main Image Caption: David Brown, General Manager of Bristol Street Motors Vauxhall Carlisle Second Image Caption: Driver Neil Weaver with Co-driver Jack Morton Vauxhall Vauxhall Corsa Charity and Sponsorship Sponsorship You May Also Like Be Part Of The Electric Driving Revolution With Plug And Go Read more Top All-Women W Series Drivers Go Head-To-Head In Texas Drag Race Read more Vauxhall Insignia Crowned �Best Upper Medium Car� At Business Car Awards 2021 Read more Guest Review: Vauxhall Mokka Read more Click here for more related articles Quick Links New cars Used cars Local Used cars In stock cars Vans Find a dealer Motability Careers Contact us Contact us Customer Services Customer Testimonials About us FAQs Investors Information FCA Terms & Conditions Legal Entities Status Disclosure Cookie Policy Privacy Policy Risk Assessment Modern Slavery Statement Complaints and Concerns Contact details Sales 0330 042 2617 E-mail Sales Customer Services 0191 497 0404 E-mail General Aftersales 0344 947 0638 E-mail Aftersales Media Enquiries 03301 080 260 E-mail General Appointments Book an appointment Vertu House, Fifth Avenue Business Park, Team Valley, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, NE11 0XA Our websites uses cookie technology which helps us bring you the best possible experience when you visit this website.
