Rally School Places Up For Grabs

Rallye Sunseeker International 2012 news release

Marshals are an integral part of every motorsport event and are the unsung heroes of all those who compete. Rallye Sunseeker 2012 are, therefore, delighted to announce a partnership with the worldwide renowned Bill Gwynne Rallyschool, based near Silverstone, that will see 12 places offered to those who volunteer their services on the opening round of the 2012 MSA British Rally Championship; a draw will take place at every one of the venues used by the rally - including service and Scrutineering!

The Bill Gwynne Rallyschool has been in operation since 1982, and has been instrumental in the careers of several world famous drivers, Toshi Arai and Mohammed Bin Sulayem for example. There  is wealth of experience too in their Instructors; Bill himself a five times British Champion, Paul  who is no stranger to Rallye Sunseeker having competed on it ,  others  include Martin Rowe, Nick Pollitt and Peter Bennett.

Speaking to Rallye Sunseeker, Bill told us; "I am delighted to offer the twelve places to Rallye Sunseeker, because it's easy to forget that those who come and marshal are all volunteers. Rallye Sunseeker has been an  important event in British rallying for many years now, and  Southern Car Club have continually pushed the event upwards to where it is now as  the opening round in the MSA British Rally Championship, no mean feat I can tell you. The event is a favourite with competitors, spectators and service crews, so it was a natural thing to be involved"

Les Sansom, the Chief Marshal, told us; "What a wonderful prize to have, and be able to offer to those who will come and marshal on the event. Bill himself is very well known and the school he runs is held in very high regard, so I am sure that the winners will have a superb day out.”

The announcement of this partnership between the Bill Gwynne Rallyschool and Rallye Sunseeker has delighted Event Director Rick Smith, who said; "It's great news that my old friend Bill has come on board with this offer to the volunteers. He is so well known throughout the world (he has had drivers from 30 countries attend his school) and he and his team have taught drivers everywhere, that this can only add  prestige to the event."
