Dear competitor,
With the world full of gloomy news, I am writing with the exciting news that I have passed the reigns of the Festival of Speed on Tweed over to the World Rally Championship Organisers.
Negotiations have concluded with the group running the WRC in the Tweed area, which means the Festival of Speed on Tweed will be presented by them in conjunction with the World Rally Round.
You might already know that the WRC will be alternated between Australia and New Zealand. This will bring the excitement and colour of international Motor Sport to the Tweed Valley and you can be a part of it.
This marriage ensures not only the future of the fabulous Festival of Speed on Tweed, but will allow you to compete on the exact circuit that the Rally competitors will use for their prologue.
There will be grand stands and TV and large crowds so you can show off your car to full effect. What this means is you will be in the thick of the action. Perhaps even having coffee with a Sebastian or Mikko or Petter or Dane!
I am sure there will be even greater pressure than usual on entries for the Festival of Speed on Tweed with emphasis on a great mix of cars. Keep the first weekend of September free. Entry details will be sent to you in May.
In the meantime, get excited and savor the thought!
Roger Ealand
