In view of the escalating situation regarding the Coronavirus pandemic, the organising team of the Mercian Rally have taken the decision that there would be insufficient time and resources available to run an event worthy of the Mercian name for 2020.
We hope to be back for 2021.

The organising team would like to thank our title sponsors GB Rally Prep, Woodford United Football Club who hosted the Start, Finish and Breakfasts, MJO Vehicle Services for Scrutineering, all advertisers and supporters of the rally, and the magnificent band of marshals, without whom the rally could not have taken place.
If you are available to marshal on the Mercian Road Rally, and have not already provided your details, the organising team would love to hear from you. You can contact them at mercian.marshals@gmail.com

Welcome to the 2019 GB RALLY PREP MERCIAN ROAD RALLY.
Mercia Motor Sports would like to thank our title sponsor GB RALLY PREP and also WOODFORD UNITED FC for use of their premises for Start and Scrutineering etc.
This year’s event continues to be part of the EMAMC, ANEMMC and ANCC Road Rally championships. As we have continued to receive good feedback from the last few events and been awarded the best event trophy in both the 2016 EMAMC and 2009 AWMMC championships, we are continuing with straightforward navigation. For those without a National ‘B’ licence there is also a Clubman’s event.
The route will start at Woodford United FC in Woodford Halse (Map Ref. 152/544531) and be of approximately 130 miles on maps 151 & 152 including 8 miles of unsurfaced whites.
There will be classes for experts, novices and awards for historic cars. Only vehicles conforming to the Motorsport UK road rally technical regulations will be allowed to start.
We look forward to receiving your entry and to seeing you at the start on the night. If you are unable to compete then please come and marshal. For the latest information, please see www.mercianrally.co.uk.
