But Wales Rally GB, one of the UK’s largest and most iconic motorsport events, is offering children’s day passes at 99 per cent cheaper than other world- class sporting events in Wales this year. The event, which runs from 11 - 14 November, can be enjoyed by a family of four for a day from as little as £42. Wales Rally GB will be the 13th and fi nal round of the FIA World Rally Championship, and the popular ‘Kids for a Quid’ offer will apply for the third year running. The offer has been extended and now includes all day passes Thursday through to Sunday, access to the Remote Service Park at Builth Wells and the fi rst ever running of a special stage in Cardiff Bay. This ensures that taking the kids to a world-class sporting event won’t break the bank. For adults, the World Rally Pass (WRP) offers the best value for money as it gives access to all stages. At just £99, the WRP is 34 per cent cheaper than it was in 2003 when the event became Wales Rally GB. If fans can’t make the whole weekend then reasonably priced single day passes can be bought from REIDEMANN/BEINKE TAKE CLASS WIN £20.

It’s been a year of both triumph and, unfortunately, tragedy and in this issue we take time out to remember María de Villota, whose passing in October left a deep void not just in motor sport but in all our hearts. María’s bravery following her F1 testing accident and the dedication she displayed afterwards – not only in promoting female involvement in motor sport but also safety on the road and track – will be missed. Elsewhere, it was a year of great success for women competitors and in this edition we look at Lucile Cypriano’s victory in the VW and commission-supported shoot-out for a place in next year’s VW Scirocco R-Cup and reveal how the FIA European Rallycross Championship has become a haven for female racers. It’s been a great year for CONTACTS: women in all forms of motor sport and IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER OR we look forward to even more in 2014! STORIES FOR THE NEXT ISSUE, WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

    Andreas Mikkelsen set to join Hyundai Motorsport on a full-time basis for the 2018 and 2019 FIA World Rally Championship seasons Mikkelsen will join Thierry Neuville, Dani Sordo and Hayden Paddon under contract with the team for next season, the team’s fifth year in WRC The Norwegian will compete in his first event for Hyundai Motorsport at next weekend’s Rally de España, alongside compatriot co-driver Anders Jæger. Alzenau, Germany September 28, 2017 – Hyundai Motorsport has today confirmed that Andreas Mikkelsen has signed a two-year deal to join the team for the 2018 and 2019 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) seasons.

Hyundai Motorsport’s existing crews of Thierry Neuville/Nicolas Gilsoul, Dani Sordo/Marc Martí and Hayden Paddon/Seb Marshall all remain under contract for the 2018 season. Andreas Mikkelsen said: “I am delighted that Hyundai Motorsport has offered me the chance to return to the WRC with a full-time seat for 2018 and 2019. Even before my first rally with the team, I feel that I have settled in quickly, and it is clear to me that I am joining a world-class team with realistic chances of fighting for both Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ championships. I look forward to helping to achieve these goals from Rallye Monte-Carlo next year, and making my own presence felt in the drivers’ title fight.” Team Principal Michel Nandan said: “Andreas is one of those rally drivers who fits in quickly and just gets straight down to business.

  • Hyundai Motorsport Targets Titles in 2019 FIA World Rally Championship
    Hyundai Motorsport targets titles in 2019 FIA World Rally Championship Hyundai Motorsport has outlined its ambitions to compete for the FIA World Rally Championship manufacturers’ and drivers’ titles in 2019 Revised crew line-up sees Thierry Neuville and Andreas Mikkelsen tackle the complete season with Dani Sordo scheduled for eight rounds and Sébastien Loeb for six. Under new Team Director Andrea Adamo, Hyundai Motorsport will contest its most comprehensive season in WRC to date with 14 rounds, including a new event in Chile. Birmingham, UK January 11, 2019 – On the eve of the official WRC season launch at the Autosport International show, Hyundai Motorsport has outlined its intentions to compete once again at the very forefront of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), with its sights set firmly on the manufacturers’ and drivers’ titles. The team finished as runners-up in 2018, for the third time in a row, having taken the title fight down to the wire. In one of the closest, most hotly contested seasons in recent years, a three-way battle was only concluded at the season finale in Australia. Running a revised crew line-up and with an extended calendar of 14 rounds in 2019, Hyundai Motorsport will aim to revisit the competitive form that helped it score three victories and 11 podium finishes last season. With WRC’s regulations remaining stable, the team has been able to evolve the technical foundations of its rally winning Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC. All aspects of the car have been rigorously assessed in order to perform consistently across all terrains in the coming season.

Honest Lawyer Hotel, Croxdale Bridge, Croxdale, Durham, DH1 3SP. http://www.strhotels.co.uk/honest-lawyer-hotel/ Durham Auto club Website http://www.durhamautoclub.co.uk Forthcoming Events Saturday 9th February 2019 Awards night and Dinner at Bishop Auckland Golf Club. Tickets expected to be around £20 for a three course dinner with raffle and disco – not to be missed! Don’t forget that DAC meets every Wednesday at the Honest Lawyer Hotel between Durham and Croxdale. Editorial I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Julian Porters talk at Bishop Auckland Golf Club last Wednesday (12th December) I don’t think there is anyone who has as much knowledge of the Championship as Julian and we as a club are extremely fortunate that he was able to give us some of his valuable time to provide a fantastic insight into the WRC. It was also great to see so many club members and visitors from other clubs attend. I was also quite taken with the venue, and I understand that the catering was also of a very high standard (damn diet!!!) For special events such as this and the Dinner Dance, providing the costs are not too prohibitive, I would say that it is an ideal venue.
