Robin Hood Historic Forest Stages 2008

RHMotors at Robin Hood 2008

After the great time we had following the historic rally cars around at Grizedale last year, we thought we’d give it another go a little closer to home. 

This weekend we went to the Robin Hood Historic Stages Rally, in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire. Specifically we went to the Forest Stages.

The Robin Hood Stages are the first round of the BHRC Historic Rally Championships.

Sadly, there was no spectator access to the Night Stages on Saturday, so we only got in to the Sunday Stages. Even so, we had a great time watching some classic cars putting in some fantastic times.

As you can see from the photo, Richard Hill and Pat Cooper were on good form, Putting in the Overall joint fastest time of the competition in their 4-door Escort, equal with Martin McCormack and Liam Moynihan.

As we didn’t have the full video gear with us, we thought we’d try something different. So we’ve uploaded a video slideshow to the OSGmedia YouTube page.

Congratulations to David Bogie and David Patterson on their win this weekend. 

We had a fantastic time in Coniston in the Lake District, despite the weather (there wasn’t a dry bit of kit for miles). The event was very enjoyable, and the organisers, marshals and locals were all very friendly and helpful. One competitor was even kind enough to supply us with In-Car footage, as we were unable to find a car to carry our gear at such short notice (thanks to Paul Miller of MTP Media for that).

The clip, as always, is available on the OSGmedia YouTube page, at:  www.youtube.com/osgmedia
