Welcome to our sponsors...
For the Roger Albert Clark Rally
2010 the organisers are pleased to
be working with a number of
commercial partners and stage sponsors.
Colin
Heppenstall, Clerk of the Course of the event and the overall Rally
Manager, told this news page that, he was once again delighted to
welcome a number of our sponsor “partners” from previous years and that
also he was proud to welcome on board TrailerLift as an additional
partner for this year.
He said,
“I would
like to take this opportunity to thank our commercial partners and our
stage sponsors for all their generosity and support for the Roger Albert
Clark Rally 2010. I hope that they will gain valuable exposure from our
event as we achieve greater media coverage. All our partners in the past
have been pleased with the experience of being involved with this event
and I hope that this may long continue.
In
particular I am always happy to welcome back Kall Kwik Bradford to their
sponsorship of the Kall Kwik Rally held in the Yorkshire stages. This
continues a long and happy partnership over a long number of years with
De-Lacy motor Club. For our stage sponsors I want to thank them all for
their assistance in making this event the spectacle it obviously is.
As always,
I am looking forward to the event with excitement as and look forward to
meeting all the sponsors throughout the event I only hope that the
weather is kind to us once again”

Kall Kwik Bradford
 For
over 10 years now De Lacy Motor Club has been proud to work with the
team at Kall Kwik Bradford. For many years they were involved in
sponsoring the Kall Kwik Forest Stages, traditionally run on the old
Mintex rally dates in February. However with the pressures of date
clashes with championship events the rally fell from the motorsport
calendar in 2004. Therefore it is special for the organisers to have
them working with us again to sponsor the National B event part of the
Roger Albert Clark Rally which runs in the Yorkshire Forests. Additionally
they will sponsor the Dalby stage on Friday evening. We hope to
enjoy
their company and that of their customers out on the event in
Dalby.
They are responsible for all our printing for the Roger Albert Clark
Rally often with very
short deadlines. We thank them for all their help and hope that long may
it continue.
Kick Energy
 For
those of you who have followed the Roger Albert Clark Rally since it
began in 2004 [What so long ago? It seems like yesterday] Then
you will be aware that the “Global Brands” business, headed by Steve
Perez, has been an invaluable supporter of the event. In 2010, once
again, their “Kick Energy” drink will be being used as the brand sponsor for
our first spectator stage at the Pickering Showground. This brand is the
major sponsor of other forms of Motor Sport and is involved with the Stobart Kick M-Sport Ford World Rally Team and the Vent Axia VK Honda World Super bike Team. Kick Energy is designed to
give you a boost of energy when you need it most! With revitalising
properties, Kick Energy has a light and refreshing taste, without
leaving an aftertaste. Kick Energy is ideal served straight from the can
or as a mixer. Kick Energy is a non-alcoholic energy drink containing
caffeine and taurine. Ours thanks go to Global Brands for their continuing support.
ARD
 ARD
are one another of our longstanding partners, both with DeLacy Motor
Club and by supplying vehicles for the event. They are an independent
4x4 supplier and have a long history in the motor industry. More of
which can be discovered by visiting their home page via the link. The
Managing Director of the company, Russell Dykes and his wife Leonie,
have been with us since the very first year and in 2010 will once again
be involved with the safety aspect of the event. They will drive the
Spectator Car for the duration of the Roger Albert Clark Rally, and we
thank Russ once again for
his help and hard work on the event.
Carlisle City Council
The welcome extended by the City Council in Carlisle has been second to
none. They have been supportive and helpful to the event since is
inception and have gone out of their way to make us feel welcome. This
has culminated in the Rally visiting the City Centre for a ceremonial
finish. You will see that all the official’s vehicles carry recognition
of the assistance given to us. Thank you Carlisle for all your help.
Dunlop
 Dunlop
are with us again in 2010 and will have a big presence as always in
the service areas they are sponsoring along the route. Dunlop has been a big supporter of this rally since
2004 and the organisers are extremely grateful to them as suppliers of
tyres to the event and for their continued sponsorship and partnership.
You may have seen the Dunlop Café in the past, but at this time I cannot
tell you whether this amazing facility will be making an appearance in
2010. Our
continued thanks go to Dunlop Tyres in the form of Mr Tyres. Thanks guys
and thanks for coming back.
YIGA
 2010
will be the fourth year that YIGA, Yorkshire Independent Grocers Association
will be involved with the Rally, sponsoring a stage in the Yorkshire
Forests. This organisation is a voluntary association of independent
retailers who have combined to represent and assist a large number of
other independent shopkeepers. They are committed to the support of our
rural shops and as such are members of the Rural Shops Alliance. This is
a particularly important area in these days of dwindling rural
communities. They joined us in 2007 to gain publicity and promote their
role. In 2010 they will join with
us again by sponsoring Langdale on Saturday 27th
November. We are pleased to be involved in this partnership.
Lookers Ford
 Since
the beginning of this event in 2004 we have been extremely lucky to have
had use of Ford Ranger vehicles for official vehicles;
however in 2008, due to the financial downturn this was not available.
But Graham James, Assistant Rally Manager, managed to secure the partnership of
the event with Lookers of Sheffield who provided vehicles for use.
This partnership will continue again in 2010 and the organisers are grateful for their continued support
and assistance. Lookers Ford will sponsor the Hamsterley stage on
Saturday 27th November.
Renault
 In
2008 as the recession bit, the logistics of putting together a fleet of
management vehicles became a worry for the organisers. However Renault
stepped up to the mark and supplied us with a number of their excellent vehicles. In 2008 Renault
sponsored the stages at Oliver’s Mount; and in 2009, not only did they
sponsor the same excellent spectator stages, but also
loaned us batch of vehicles to use. This year Renault will once again be
supporting the event with the loan of vehicles and sponsoring the
Olivers Mount stage in Scarborough on Saturday 27th November.
Thank you so much Renault, glad of
your help.
Airshelta
 We
were pleased to have the support of Airshelta again in 2009 following
the successful outing of the Airshelta start arch at Temple Newsam in
2008. In 2009 we we unveiled the new-look, multi-legged arch
at the Pickering showground stage.
Established over 20 years ago, the Aireshelta name has now
become synonymous with quality inflatable shelters. They are a leading
supplier of inflatable shelter solutions both in the UK and Abroad.
Airshelta
will sponsor the Twiglees stage on Sunday 28th November.
