Comment on this Story
The History of Rallying this year features cars, some of them original winners, from the British Rally Championships of the past 50 years. These range from Triumph TR3a, Austin Healey Sebring Sprite and Volkswagen Beetle, through Ford Escorts, Opel Manta 400s and Audi quattros, to the Hyundai Accent WRC which won the championship in 2004.

Then there are the Stage Sessions, where owners of rally-type cars participate in untimed runs over the stages. If that sounds boring, bear in mind that there are probably more Lancia Stratos doing the stage sessions at Chatsworth than Lancia had in their workshop back in the 1970s!

Between the main events, any number of things are going on out on the stages, ranging from old and precious rally cars to stuntman Terry Grant with his mind-blowing car control.

Away from the serious action, there is plenty more to see, from wandering round the paddock for a close-up of the cars and drivers or - if rally cars lose their attraction - the magnificent house and gardens of Chatsworth itself.
