THE Gibsons of Brock Rally, due to be held at Park Hall, Charnock Richard on December 30, has a new look for 2000.

Organisers Bolton-le-Moors Car Club have joined forces with Bury AC and returned to their original format of a one-day event with scrutineering on Friday evening.

The ten stages will be 99 per cent tarmac perimeter roads -- totalling 23 miles -- following the decision not to use the large gravel car park adjacent to the complex.

Full spectator facilities will be available, and the popular rally disco will be held on the Friday evening after scrutineering. There will be no overnight parc ferme restrictions, allowing local competitors to return home overnight if they wish.

Premium rate entries are still available from Peter Sharples, tel: 01772 626116.
