The 2023 season comes to a dazzling conclusion with the Salford Van Hire Neil Howard Stage Rally and Fireworks spectacular on bonfire weekend.

On track action will come courtesy of the Bolton Le Moors Car Club-run stage rally, which is expected to see a capacity entry of rally machinery go against the clock on a series of special stages, using sections of the Oulton Park circuit and off-road elements used in the World Rally Championship as recently as 2019 - including a big water splash!

Look out for Mitsubishi Evos, Subaru Imprezas, modern WRC-style cars and timeless favourites such as Ford Escorts, as action runs into the dark.

Once the rally concludes, one of the north west’s most impressive fireworks displays will light up the skies, with superb views from Oulton Park’s panoramic viewing banks. 

The paddock will be open throughout, allowing a glimpse at the teams and drivers as they prepare for each stage.
