The competitive route takes in 53 stage miles on Friday afternoon and evening and a further 62 stage miles through Saturday.

After scrutineering on Friday morning, the first car will leave Carlisle Airport at 1430hrs on Friday for three nine-mile stages in Buck Fell, Rushy Knowe and Falstone in the central block of Kielder forest before service at Kielder Water, and then a second run through the stages.

Saturday starts with a monster 18-mile stage in Kershope, one of the longest gravel stages in the UK this year, before moving into Scotland for stages in Castle O’er and Twiglees and service back at Carlisle. The loop is then repeated before the first car arrives back at Carlisle at around 1700hrs.

As well as the two-day event, there will be an option for competitors to contest single-day rallies on both Friday and Saturday. The overall event will have an entry fee of £1995 for 115 miles, which is thought to be the best value per mile gravel rallying in the UK this year. Regulations are due to be published by the end of August.
