Retro Rallycross is a creation of Shirley Gibson in 2010. Born out of her intention to launch a series which is dedicated to one of the most exciting forms of motorsport and at a point where it was it at its most popular. Shirley has worked to bring back all the classic rallycross cars, such as the Ford Escort and the classic Mini that regularly competed against each other. Also, the ex-rally Group B cars that found a home in the late 1980s in rallycross with their huge power outputs made for spectacular racing and the sport’s greatest years.
Drivers and cars include:
• Rob Gibson – MG Metro 6R4
• Phil Collard – Renault 5 Turbo
• Gary Simpson – BMW M3
• Terry Moore – Mini
• Steve Harris – Ford RS 200
• Dave Halford – Audi Quattro
• James Harrold – VW Beetle
• John Cross – Lancia Delta
• Ian Flitney – Mitsubishi Subaru
• Nigel Davey – Peugeot 205
Shirley Gibson, founder of Retro Rallycross comments, “Firle Beacon is one of the most exciting and refreshing new motorsport events out there. We are thrilled to be featuring at their debut festival and can’t wait for the crowds to experience the exhilarating power of Rallycross, as our Retro vehicles tackle the tight corners of the village as they take on the unique and challenging Rally course. Any rally fan will not want to miss this event. It will be something to behold.”
