In a major coup for the IRDC (International Rally Drivers Club), Southern Car Club, The Children’s Trust and the RNLI, Rallye Sunseeker are delighted to announce today that former works BMC driver and 1964 Monte Carlo winner Paddy Hopkirk will be the Guest of Honour at the Rallye Sunseeker Charity Auction & Awards Dinner to be held on Saturday 19th October in the Waterfront Suite at the RNLI College in Poole.
A life-member of the BRDC (British Racing Drivers Club) since 1967, winner of the Alpine Rally and a patron of the disability charity “WheelPower” amongst his many credits, Paddy will be flown by helicopter to Poole by none other than 4 times National Rally Champion Marcus Dodd.
2014 is the 50th anniversary of Paddy and Henry Liddon winning in Monte Carlo and his attendance has delighted Rally Director Rick Smith who said “What a coup to have such a charming guest for the evening. His status is legendary, and hopefully his appearance will help us raise money for our chosen charities this year -The Children’s Trust and the RNLI”
The Dinner is organised by the IRDC and their Chairman Shaun Martin was equally delighted to have ensured the appearance of a rally legend. He said “I was amazed when he said yes, and then thrilled when I realised how exciting his appearance would be for all our guests. It really is great news for everyone involved that Paddy Hopkirk can join us.”
The main Rallye Sunseeker awards will be presented to the relevant winners during the course of the evening, and on hand to assist with the evening will be Louise Goodman, ITVs British Touring Car Championship presenter, together with Andrew Coley one of Eurosports motor sport commentators..
Some tickets are still available for the Dinner and can be found at www.irdc.org.uk
Fisher was stopped at the side of the road in Shakedown. Engine problems was the answer when I asked. But he does have a spare engine. Bet you hes glad he did shakedown.
Serious prizes at stake this weekend. With a potential €4000 Prize for the winner, €2500 for second and €1500 for third there is a massive incentive for the drivers to push.
PLUS the overall championship winner gets a free entry in to Wales Rally GB entry,€8000 Start money and 20 Pirelli tyres
Mc Kenna holding his pace, a good finish will seal the championship....Jon Armstrong hasn't come out of stage 3 yet, puncture or mechanical issue both suggested...David carney with a misfire on stage 2, but seemed okay for stage 3
Daniel still holding onto 2nd in R2 and really managing the pace, he's carrying a lot of extra weight with spare shafts, arms, tools in the car just in case!...stages cutting up really badly so the evening could be interesting...
Not much Buzz about here - Daniel 2 stages to go and is still setting fastest times in the R2 class. THis rough 10 miler will be tough as it has been run 3 times already
Congratulations to Daniel and Arthur. Brilliant season and proof if it was ever in doubt, whether it's RWD, FWD or 4WD, the lad can drive. Here's an edit I put together for when Daniel won the Billy Coleman Award.....
Well done to dean and Aileen.
Great drive just one minute behind
rokland.hopefully great the right backing this
