SIMON Mellings and Karl Ellis of Ludlow Castle Motor Club are to attempt the tough Lombard RAC Rally 2008 in November.
They will be required to drive for four days and three nights, stopping briefly each night for only a few hours’ sleep.
To complete the 1,250-mile course, Mellings and Ellis will be using a Nissan 1300.
They would like to thank Simon Atkinson, Brian Gittoes, Graham Clarke, Ade Mayall, Eric Weaver and Paul Powell for all their hard and unpaid help in preparing the car for this endurance event.
Sponsoring the team is local business McConnells of Ludlow whose continued support has made parcipation in the event possible.
The event starts and finishes in Harrogate and travels north into the forests of Scotland, returning to Harrogate after 1,250 miles.
