Spectators are welcome to the Greystoke Stages!
But we would request that you respect local residents by taking care when driving through the area and by parking sensibly and not causing obstructions for other road users.
The majority of spectators should access the forest from the Penrith side of the forest where a small free spectator car park is available.
It is important that anyone travelling from the west should avoid passing through Mungrisedale where a village fete is being held on the day of the rally.

The organisers of the 2011 P & R Benn Greystoke Stages Rally are delighted to confirm that the event is on and will go ahead. Entries are at a level where Roger Fisher, Clerk of the Course, was happy enough to say go ahead. With excellent co-operation from Malcolm Wilson and M-Sport and the solid support of the host club, West Cumbria Motorsport Club, the event will run even though entries at present haven’t reached the minimum stated in the regulations.
Roger said ‘I’m sure we will get a few more entries trickling in and therefore feel confident we can give the green light for everyone to make their way to Greystoke for the 9th/10th July’. We look forward to seeing all competitors, old and new, for what we hope will be a splendid day.'
If anyone is busy working on their car and not sure if it will be ready before entries close then they needn’t worry because the organising team have also agreed to take entries right up to the 9th July when scrutineering and signing – on is scheduled.
As with all events marshals are needed to support the competitors and Chief Marshal, Irving Wilson would be pleased to hear from anyone who can come along on the day and help out. Irving can be contacted on 01946 861488 or 07759 936942, and don’t forget as it’s going to be a lovely day it will be a great rally to marshal on!

The organising team of the 2011 P & R Benn Greystoke Stages Rally are delighted with the rush of good news that has come their way over the last few days.
The organising team of the 2011 P & R Benn Greystoke Stages Rally are delighted with the rush of good news that has come their way over the last few days.
There are now about 30 entries either received or promised and on the way so things are looking good for the 10th July event in Greystoke Forest near Penrith, Cumbria.. The current top 2 competitors in the ANECC Stage Rally Championship, Michael Glendinning, a previous winner of the event, and Richard Cooke already have their entries in as do Phil Pickard and Andrew Wheatley. So a good quality field is starting to develop.
Michael O'Brien has confirmed his willingness to come along and drive his Focus WRC as course car for the second time. A sight worth seeing.
Improvements to the venue have been done including the regrading of the forest tracks providing a cracking surface and the enlargement of the service area giving plenty of room for everybody.
‘From an organisational point of view we are ready to go’ said Clerk of the Course Roger Fisher ‘We’re sure we’ve covered every angle, the only thing we can’t arrange is the weather but knowing how sunny it is usually is in Cumbria that shouldn’t be a problem!’.
Potential entrants should remember that the organisers are not making any administration charge for entries withdraw at any time so no penalty if you can’t make it. And again a reminder that if they do make it to the 50 entries point a draw will be held to refund one lucky crew their entry fee.
Throughout the weekend funds will be raised at signing-on and on the day via collection buckets in the service area for the Cumbria branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Everyone attending is asked to give generously.
