Saturday 16 September 2023
Information:
The Armstrong Galloway Hills Rally will bring a new twist to the 49th running of the event on 16 September when the event will offer a brand-new format where competitors can compete in both daylight and night stages on the very same day, should they wish to take up the option of the latter.
Competitors are being offered three stages in the stunning Galloway forests, before heading to a centralised service area at Talnotry, close to the forestry action. The stages will then be repeated, providing competitors with a total of 43 special stage miles linked by minimal road mileage.
All competitors will then have an option to head back out to the three stages in the dark – giving a total distance of 64.5 stage miles in one day.
The outline event format includes:
- Spectator friendly Saturday Morning Pre-Event Scrutineering in Castle Douglas town centre from 10am onwards.
- The event itself will start from the Service Area at 4pm, with six stages completed by 7:45pm.
- Leg 1 – 43 stage miles across six stages, linked by just 36 road miles in total.
- Competitors wishing to contest an additional loop of stages in the dark will then restart from service for Leg 2, with all cars scheduled back to the finish by 11pm.
The organisers appreciate this makes for a longer than normal day but hope the chance to see competitors three times including in the dark will make it worthwhile. Every Radio crew attending the 2023 Armstrong Galloway Hills Rally will receive a goody bag with a gift and lunch.
A number of Radio Operators and Controllers are required to provide safety cover. It would be helpful if you would also let me know if you are unavailable.
