Brace's Historic Rally Car

 

Brace’s Historic Ford Escort RS1800 appears in many rallies....

....driven by Jonathan Brace, Brace’s rally car appears in many rallies in Wales’ forestry stages. Historic rallying has become one of the most competitive and hotly contested forms of motorsport over the last decade.

Enthusiasts will know that rallying is an exhilarating sport for both competitors and spectators. Spectators stand and watch in all weathers, lining the roads in the most bleak and far flung places, often wrapping up to suffer the harsh cold and wet conditions

Rallying is a spectacular sport, definitely fast and furious. Historic rallying has taken off because the cars are fun to drive, (I think every ‘would be’ rally driver wants to go sideways) technically simple, the most spectacular to watch and makes some of the best noises and are still very fast.

Many rally fans are still trying to relive the glory days of rallying in the 70’s and 80’s when Roger Clark and Ari Vateran were the heroes.

Today’s rally drivers, Sabastian Leob and Mike Hirvinan, drive technically sophisticated machines with 4 wheel drive turbo chargers and light weight materials, costing in the region of £750,000.

If you have any rally photos of yourself or colleagues, we would love to see them.
