The 2018 FUCHS LUBRICANTS MSA British Historic Rally Championship and the 2018 RACRMC Historic Asphalt Rally Championship will be unveiled to the public at Autosport International at the Birmingham NEC (11-14 January). Details of the 2018 Carlisle Stages will be announced along with early information about the 2019 Roger Albert Clark Rally.

The Roger Albert Clark Rally Motor Club will be at Autosport 2018 on stand 6105 in Hall 6 to take the wraps off its future programme, which has four major elements:

• The eight-round 2018 MSA British Historic Rally Championship
• The seven-round 2018 RACRMC Historic Asphalt Rally Championship
• The 2018 Carlisle Stages (9 June)
• The 2019 Roger Albert Clark Rally

The 2018 season will be the fourth year for the BHRC, Britain’s leading championship for historic cars, of a five-year term under the management of the Roger Albert Clark Rally Motor Club.

Going into its third season is the RACRMC Historic Asphalt Rally Championship, which gives UK historic competitors a dedicated asphalt championship covering rallies in the UK and Belgium as well as a return visit to Jersey.

A great deal of interest is sure to focus on outline information for the Roger Albert Clark Rally, which will next run in November 2019. Building on the outstanding reception to the 2017 event from competitors, marshals and fans, rally manager Colin Heppenstall plans to issue some early information about the next edition in November 2019.

Meanwhile, early details of the Carlisle Stages (Saturday 9 June) will be available for the event that is the fifth round of the BTRDA Rally Series as well as a round of several regional championships.

Members of the team, headed by Colin and Nicola Heppenstall, will be on hand to meet current and prospective competitors as well as event officials and fans. Championship registrations and club membership renewals will be available to visitors.
