As Rallying with Group B tries to evolve and encourage people, this year at Reis Race Retro (Europe’s no.1 historic motorsport show), the team are looking to allow people who would like to actively get involved with motorsport to partake in marshalling the Live Rally Stages.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a novice or quite experienced in marshalling they can help you in this area! Why don’t you come and try it out for a day or the weekend and get a little bit closer to the action and implement the safety aspects of the sport whilst having a great weekend of motorsport?

Rallying with Group B pay tribute to Russell Brookes

Rallying with Group B (RWGB) will pay tribute to two-time British Rally Champion Russell Brookes at this year’s Reis Race Retro, who died in October 2019. A long-time supporter of both RWGB and the show, there will be a display of the iconic cars Russell drove both to victory and on the Live Rally Stage.

Russell Brookes was undoubtedly one of the most famous rally drivers the UK has ever produced and his long-term association with his sponsor, Andrews Heat for Hire, forged a lasting impression in the minds and hearts of British rally fans.

Low mileage, one owner from new 25th anniversary Lamborghini Countach to feature in Race Retro auction

The Countach was presented to the world at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show as a replacement for one of the most beautiful sports cars, the Muira.

During its 20 year reign, the Countach went on to create its own cult following as the poster car of the 1980s, pinned to many a bedroom wall and the car most teenagers dreamed of owning.

French Rally driver Didier Auriol, who won the World Rally Championship (WRC) in 1994, will make his debut at this year’s Reis Race Retro.

Born in Montpellier and initially an ambulance driver, Auriol started rallying in an old Simca 1000. After winning his first French Rallye Championship in 1986 behind the wheel of a Metro 6R4, he repeated his success in 1987 and 1988 but this time in a works Ford Sierra RS Cosworth.

Auriol made his name in the WRC throughout the 1990s. He was the first Frenchman to win the Championship. He also drove for manufacturers including Lancia, Toyota, and Peugeot amongst others during his career.

As well as driving in a replica of the Cosworth on the Reis Live Rally Stage on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd February, Auriol will be interviewed and taking fans’ questions on the interview stage. He will also be available to sign autographs.

Joining Didier Auriol is British rally driver Chris Ingram, who won the European Rally Championship in 2019 with co-driver Ross Whittock, becoming the first British winners in 52 years and the youngest ever Champions.

Ingram, a long-time supporter of Race Retro since he started rallying, has a raft of trophies to his name including the 2012 Motor Sports Association Young Driver of the Year Award, and the European Rally Championship Colin McRae Flat Out Award won on the Circuit of Ireland Rally 2014, Rallye Açores 2015, and Rally Liepaja in 2017. He also won the Richard Burns Trophy on Wales Rally GB in 2017 for winning the Two-Wheel drive class.

In 2014, Ingram became the youngest manufacturer-backed rally driver since Richard Burns in the European Rally Championship driving a Peugeot 208 R2.

After two seasons with Peugeot, he signed with German factory team Opel Motorsport, something he credits to the late great Russell Brookes.
