Lombard Rally Festival Revesby Pt. 1
Join me, Mark Stone, on the Backseat Driver Podcast as we dive into the world of historic and modern rally cars at the exciting Lombard Rally Festival Revesby in Lincolnshire.
We start with highlights from the Lombard Rally Festival, followed by an insightful interview with Andrew Towse, who shares his experiences driving the legendary Hillman Avenger. I also chatted with Andy 'Ace' Harrison, Yorkshire’s smallest celebrity with a big personality, and caught up with Aron Brown to discuss his unique Lotus Elise. Rally fans will love hearing about Ashley Powell’s Metro 6R4 replica and my visit with Bill Dobie at Revesby Hall, where we explore the fun of balancing a professional job with the love of rally cars.
The episode continues with discussions on historic rally vehicles, engine upgrades, and winning championships, including memorable interviews with drivers like Chris Common, Chris Welch, and Colin Jebson with his Volvo Amazon.
We wrap up with a great conversation with David Slater, who takes us into the world of his Volvo 360.
This episode has something for everyone, from rally legends to car culture debates, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
