For the Pirelli International Rally, which hosts all eight stages in the Kielder complex, has added a round of the international FIA Celtic Cup to the two events it already runs in the area on April 29 and 30.
The Celtic Cup will run for the first time alongside the second round of the MSA British Rally Championship and the third round of the Mintex MSA British Historic Championship.
Local clubmen haven’t been forgotten, however, and the rally will also feature a round of the SG Petch/ ANECCC Stage Championship and the Motoscope Northern Historic Championship.
The announcement follows the news that Whickham District Motor Club and Hawick and Border Car Club will host the first round of the British Rally Championships, which will also feature Kielder.
