Drystone Road Rally – change of date from 5/6 September to 17/18 October 2026

From ANEMMC:

Good mornig,
Please circulate this to your club members.

The Drystone Road Rally 2026

Unfortunately we are having to change the date again of our event this year. We have been informed that a 400 strong Scout group organised Run/Hike is taking place over the weekend of 5th-6th September and through the night, crossing areas we had planned to use. So for the safety of all we have decided to move our event to the weekend of 17th-18th October.
We hope this doesn’t cause any issues and we ask that you inform your  members and member clubs.
Thank you
Kind Regards,
Jason Simms

Motorsport UK Road Section Top-Up Insurance Master Policy

From ANEMMC:

——– Forwarded Message ——–
Subject: MSUK Road Section Top-Up Insurance Master Policy,
From: ANEMMC Secretary <anemmcsec@gmail.com>

Please forward to your club members.

Motorsport UK has introduced a new Road Section Top-Up Insurance Master Policy, arranged by Kingfisher Motorsport and underwritten by First Underwriting, helping competitors and officials access the minimum third-party cover required for events using the public highway, including road rallies, trials and autotests.

Developed in response to rising costs and reduced availability of cover, this is a positive step in helping keep these events accessible for our community.

A pilot will run from 1st–3rd May, ahead of a full rollout from 5th May 2026.

ANECCC Update

From ANECCC:

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Prudhoe last Thursday for our association AGM. We were pleased to welcome John Ryan and Polly Dedman from Motorsport UK. We will circulate an overview of their presentation and question answers shortly.

I’ve attached an updated date list, the regulations for Durham’s autotest, the information for ‘One for Frank’ Illuminations Tour and the quiz invitation from Whickham and District Motor Club.

Stage Commander training dates, Event Safety Officer and Spectator Safety Officer training have been released. Clerks of the Course, Stage Commanders and Grade 3 marshals should have had this information already. If anyone is interested in attending the training they need to be recommended by a Clerk of the Course.

Any questions, any info, anything to be added to the website, please let me know.

Kind regards,

Motorsport UK – Keep in touch webpage

From ANEMMC

——– Forwarded Message ——–
Subject: MSUK – Keep in touch webpage.
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 22:32:56 +0100
From: ANEMMC Secretary

Please share with your club members.

If you have been trying to update your email preferences, but have found no way of carrying this out on their website page, the reason is that after MSUK had moved to another email provider, there has been so much trouble with them, they have gone back to the existing one over the last few weeks.

They also took the opportunity to update this page so it’s much more user friendly. It is now ready for use if you’d like to update your email preferences.
https://www.motorsportuk.org/contact-us/keep-in-touch/

I would suggest doing this as when I looked at what preferences I had set previously, some were missing despite contacting MSUK last month about this. I will be checking once a month until I am confident that these are not getting removed.

Kind Regards,
Roy Bell.

WRC returns to the UK: Rally Scotland

From ANWCC:

Dear Clubs and Association Secretaries,
Yesterday, Hugh Chambers announced that Motorsport UK had secured an agreement with World Rally Championship Promoter GmbH to bring the FIA World Rally Championship back to the UK, with a new event titled Rally Scotland, beginning in 2027.

Following funding agreements with the Scottish Government, Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council, Rally Scotland is confirmed for an initial three-year run from 2027 to 2029.

The return of the championship is a landmark moment for UK motorsport. As a cornerstone of the World Rally Championship since 1973, Britain’s place on the calendar is restored—reconnecting the series with one of its most passionate and knowledgeable fanbases.

Based in Aberdeen, Rally HQ and the Service Park will be located at P&J Live. The event will blend world-class forest gravel stages with dynamic urban spectator sections, bringing the action closer to fans than ever before.

More than a sporting spectacle, Rally Scotland is designed as a platform for progress—demonstrating how motorsport can contribute to wider societal and environmental goals. This includes:

Advancing sustainable fuel and low-carbon technologies, with WRC cars already running on 100% fossil-free fuel

Inspiring communities through STEM and future mobility initiatives

Supporting volunteer development across the motorsport community

Expanding diversity and inclusion within the sport

Delivering tangible economic and tourism benefits to the region

Motorsport UK will work in close partnership with the WRC Promoter, government and local stakeholders, and the rally community to deliver an event of the highest standard.

Further updates will be shared as plans develop. Visit rallyscotland.org to sign up and follow @RallyScotland for the latest news.

Kind Regards
Tracey Smith
ANWCC General Secretary
