  SS11 // RALLY CLUB

  Aug 24, 202629 minS2

  RALLY CLUB is back for a second series - more rally stories, more encouragement to get involved with club rallying and grassroots motorsport, and more opportunities to tell the world about our amazing sport. Episode 11 of RALLY CLUB is a Comp Safari special, recorded at Gisburn where Paul was competing in Pertrac’s immaculately-prepared Bowler Wildcat in the Northern Off-Road Club Championship. The Bowler isn’t quite so immaculate right now, you’ll find out why. But Pertrac is now focused on getting the car ready for a very special Rally Raid adventure to Algeria later this year. This episode also features interviews recorded at Mathewsons Live in Harrogate, where Comp Safari cars rubbed shoulders with rally royalty, showing off to a sold-out crowd of tens of thousands of motoring enthusiasts and rally fans. Once again, Llandudno-based rock band The Screaming Conrods play us in and out, so a big thank you to Dave Paveley and the gang - look out for their new album, due to be released this summer. Thanks for tuning in - don’t forget to subscribe and share the podcast. Let’s tell the world about club motorsport!

  Autotesting is one of the sport’s most accessible categories, with competitors of all ages able to compete on a level playing field in any car. York Motor Club is on a mission to not only showcase this cost effective motorsport, but also get people involved. A variety of road, classic, rally and autotest special cars took to a demonstration course at The Motorist in Yorkshire, offering passenger rides and encouraging new sign-ups for Motorsport UK’s free RS Clubman licence. Join Paul Woodford in the Rally Club Spark Mini for stories from the people behind the scenes of this fantastic initiative, and a sideways chat round a hot and dusty grass autotest course.

  Episode #10

  SS10 // RALLY CLUB

  Jul 5, 20261h 48mS1

  Club rallying and grass roots motorsport is all about the journey. Whilst some competitors use the pathways designed into our sport to progress to bigger challenges, others are happy to stay immersed and build their legacy in a particular category or championship. SS10 of RALLY CLUB goes on one final journey for this first series of the podcast. Telling the story of competitors like Bernie Nolan and Roger Stanford, who have swapped stage rally and historic touring cars for the lanes of North Humberside Motor Club’s classic tour. Young Cole and Mabel are at the start of their respective motorsport journeys, while Ian Barnes has been competing in club rallying since the 1970s and still, in his seventies, loves nothing more than throwing a rally car around. 2025 was the ‘Year of the Micra’ - I said so! For Dylan Fowler-Bishop and Dan Evans, winning the BTRDA Bronze Star title in their 1400 Micra was not only a dream come true, it opened doors to the next opportunity. And when a double Junior Rally Champion and Mini Rally Challenge Champion joins forces with a two-time BHRC title winner, big things can happen. As Charlie Mathewson and Josh Carr have found out in their first British Rally Championship season together. However your club motorsport journey looks so far, I truly hope you enjoyed being with me on this journey through the stories of our sport. I’ll be back for Series 2 of Rally Club, with some Special Selective episodes of the podcast thrown in for good measure in the meantime. For now, thank you for following on social media, for subscribing wherever you listen to your podcasts, and for lending your enthusiasm and support to helping me make Rally Club a success. Here’s to the journey. #RallyClub
