Rally drivers offer advice at open day

Potential rally drivers helped get an insight into their dream career when they attended an open day in Staffordshire.

The Dulux Trade MSA British Rally Championship held its third annual open day at Curborough Sprint Circuit near Lichfield.

The event featured exhibitions and demonstrations and provided the opportunity for passenger rides for potential competitors interested in the 2012 MSA British Rally Championship and the BRC Challenge.

Series organisers from Citroën, Ford and Renault were in attendance alongside some of the top motor sport teams from around the UK and Ireland.

British Junior Rally Champion 2009 Marty McCormack was one of the drivers helping to support the event. Championship staff were also available to answer questions about the forthcoming season.

Also present at the event were Pirelli and Peugeot Sport. The Curborough Sprint Circuit, near Fradley Park, has previously hosted events for classic car fans.
