A few words of introduction.

Cross Country Motorsport is the correct way to describe our activities. This phrase has been adopted by our governing body in an effort to differentiate between ourselves and other off road activities.

For many who have not attended our events the erroneous vision is one of winches, chains and landrovers up to their sills, or worse, in mud.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Our top competitors drive vehicles which are in the same price and performance class of WRC cars. They achieve similar speeds and are equally spectacular to watch.

Imagine a forest stage rally with sections where the competitor leaves the gravel track and cuts through a fire break or cuts across the moor to another track and you can understand the appeal that many have for this type of sport.

As in forest stage rallies it is easy to join in without obtaining an overdraft.
Some of our marshals have purchased a Land Rover or similar vehicle and with a few modifications have been able to join in the fun. Just search for “hillrally” or “borc” on youtube to see what they have posted.

Our Environmental Responsibility

We are committed to protecting our environment, and have introduced control tyres for the BCCC and have banned the use of aggressive tyres on the Hillrally.
Working with the close co-operation of the Forestry Commission and other landowners we identify routes which will have minimal impact on wildlife and infrastructure.
Our teams will prepare the course prior to an event and clean up afterwards, it is only by engaging in this form of partnership that our sport can continue and that the interests of all groups that use the countryside can be met and satisfied.

Each round will bring the needs for different driver skills, a single stage of between 5 and 10 miles which will be run a number of times over the weekend, typically between 12 and 15.
The championship is open to National A's and B's. As in previous years we are using control tyres and cars do not need to be road legal.

We will also accept entries from Clubmans, they may enter just for the weekend. This is an ideal way to test the water or to just enjoy a great weekends sport for a small outlay. You will experiance a great atmosphere and enjoy the camaraderie between competitors.

The usual Marches circus will be in attendance and will provide toilets, all day catering, beer tent and camping, which is usually available from the Friday.
