The review programme of the 2011 Dunlop/WONAGO MSA British Historic Rally Championship will make perfect festive viewing when it is screened for the first time on Motors TV at 9pm on Christmas Day. The 2011 championship was fought to the finish, with an Escort and a 911 neck-and-neck for the overall crown.

The spectacle of Porsche 911s, Ford Escorts, Saabs, Vauxhall Chevettes and Hillman Imps tackling classic forest and asphalt stages is surely the perfect antidote to the regular Christmas Day TV programmes. The two-hour review covers all the action, as crews competed from the forests of Wales to the closed public roads of Ulster and Flanders. The programme will include stunning in-car footage, as well as interviews with some of the characters involved in historic rallying.

As well as the initial prime-time slot on Motors TV, the programme will have several repeats in the week after the initial transmission.

Backing for the 2011 coverage came from our friends at Tuthill Porsche (www.francistuthill.co.uk), BHRC TV partners CES (www.autosessive.com), Sherwood Engines (www.sherwoodengines.co.uk), Skipton Ford (www.skipton-ford.com.uk), West Wales Rally Spares (www.westwalesrallyspares.co.uk) and XS Racing (www.xsracing.net).

All seven rounds of the BHRC were televised during 2011, with dedicated hour-long programmes on Motors TV, produced by www.rallytv.co.uk.

If you don’t get Motors TV where you are, never fear. They have a Youtube Channel! Feel free to add any rally video links you know of to the comments 😉
