Message comes ahead of Targa Rally today

A motor club chairman says rallying needs to be more 'accessible' to young people. 

This comes as Druidale Motor Club are set to host the Duke Travel Targa Rally today (13 September). 

Targa Rallying is one of the fastest growing forms of motorsport as competitors are allowed to use their everyday car. 

It tests a driver's 'precision' as it takes place typically on private land with the course laid out in cones. 

Competitors don't even need to wear safety equipment like helmets as cars will only reach an average speed of 30mph.

Richard Beaumont, Chairman of Druidale Motor Club says it's a great entry point for newcomers: 

The rally is set to take place at the Archallagan plantation and surrounding private land.
