The 2009 UK (Inter) National MicroCar Rally
The 35th Annual NMCR will be a 4-day event, and will be organised by the duo of Jim Jamieson and Terry Parkin
who previously together organised the successful 2007 event.

The event will be run under The Micro Maniacs banner to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the founding of the Micro Maniacs, now the largest multi-make microcar club in UK.

The dates to mark in red in your diary are Thursday 3rd to Sunday 6th September 2009 and our venue is Ripon Racecourse â€“ known as The Garden Racecourse â€“ in the picturesque and popular Yorkshire Dales.
On the racecourse rally field there is a large brick building which we will have sole use of , which contains toilets, showers, light and heat, and is large enough for our usual let-your-hair-down evening entertainment.

There's also a large covered verandah which will be our venue for outdoor happenings and gatherings.
Ripon Racecourse is only about 5 miles from junction 48 of the A1M and so is easily accessible from all parts of the country. Ripon itself is about a mile away so shopping for provisions will be easy for event visitors.
