Welcome Welcome to the 2017 Pirelli International Rally. After several years running the event at National A status, all the organizing team are delighted to be able to bring the ‘International’ title back to our event, along with the opportunity to be a part of the FIA Celtic Rally Trophy. This year, as in 2016, we are the only mainland event to host both the Prestone MSA British Rally Championship and the Mintex MSA British Historic Rally Championship. Add to that the Motoscope Northern Historic Championship, the SG Petch ANECCC Rally Championship and the Armed Forces Land Rovers, and we believe it has all the makings of a classic event. To run an event of this size takes an enormous amount of time and effort: many people work right throughout the year to make the event a success. We are very lucky to receive support both financial and in kind from so many people and organizations, so to everyone who helps us we say thank you. To our main sponsor ‘Pirelli’ who have supported this rally for 26 continuous years, we are so grateful for your help and support. As always, we will strive to run an event that you are proud to give your name to. The rally will follow a similar pattern to 2016: we will run the Historic Section over four long stages (all first usage) on Saturday morning, giving them a early afternoon finish, and the BRC section (Leg 1) will follow in the afternoon (preceded by a ceremonial Start), returning early evening to parc fermé in Carlisle. BRC Section (Leg 2) will repeat the four stages on Sunday morning before a Ceremonial Finish in the town of Brampton (new for 2017) giving in total one hundred stage miles all in the Kielder forest. To everyone involved we wish you an enjoyable weekend’s motor sport, but above all, we wish you a safe weekend’s motor sport. Please make safety a priority in everything you do, and please remember that it is not always someone else’s responsibility to keep you safe. ‘You’ have a responsibility to ‘yourself’, so whether you are competing, servicing, marshaling or here as a spectator, we hope you truly enjoy the event that is best known as ‘The Pirelli’. Brian Kinghorn, Chairman CSCC
