Welcome to the community of true classic rally fans! We are those who truly admire the legendary Roger Albert Clark, his contribution to motorsport and, of course, the rally named in his honor. We don’t need modern technology and ultra-modern cars.
We love rally as it was in its golden era, when drivers conquered legendary circuits in classic cars, and each competition was a true test of technique and spirit.
Who is Roger Albert Clark?
If you’ve ended up on this site, chances are you already know the name Roger Clark. But if you suddenly don’t, let’s fix that!
Roger Albert Clark is one of the most iconic figures in the world of British rallying. He was the first British driver to win the Rally of Britain (then RAC Rally) in 1972, driving the iconic Ford Escort. Clarke won the event twice and wrote his name into motorsport history forever. He was a true legend, a man who always performed to the limit and never gave up.

In 2004, years after Clarke’s career had ended, his name resurfaced in the motorsport world. Then a historic rally was organized, which brought back the spirit of the classic five-day RAC Rally. The fact is that modern rallies have changed a lot. They have become shorter, their routes are now concentrated in one region, and many legendary tracks have been forgotten. The Roger Albert Clark Rally corrected this injustice!
The competition immediately gained popularity among classic rally enthusiasts. It takes place on the famous stages of Scotland and northern England—Kielder Forest, Grizedale, and other iconic places. There are no modern cars: only pre-1982 vehicles, those legendary Ford Escort, Opel Ascona, Lancia Stratos and other iconic models once driven by the world’s best drivers.
Roger Albert Clarke’s name is inextricably linked with the golden era of British rallying. He became a symbol of a whole generation of motorsport when skill, courage, and technique determined the outcome of a race rather than computer calculations and complex control systems. His driving style, his charisma, and his victories inspire new generations of drivers, and his contribution to the history of rallying cannot be overestimated.
