ASEMC “CORBEAU SEATS UK” ASEMC STAGE RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP 2012
Introduction:
The ASEMC is promoting its “Corbeau Seats UK” Stage Rally Championship in association with “Fairfield Motorsport”. The 2012 Stage Championship is aimed at the Clubman perhaps on a lower budget and without the paraphernalia that makes Stage Rallying so very expensive at the top level.
With this as the philosophy we have 10 rounds in the championship run by clubs in the South of England and hope that this will provide good competition for competitors on a limited budget, including for the first time a closed road event in Belguim the classic Monteburg Rally Sprint.
