Following the successful running of Trackrod Rally Yorkshire and Round 5 of the Britpart British Cross Country Championship in Kielder at the end of September, motorsport events have resumed on the Forestry England estate. No additional restrictions or guidelines have been imposed and event organisers should continue to work with their Forestry Liaison Officers and local Forestry England Districts to ensure they follow current Motorsport UK and government COVID-19 guidance when planning and running events.

Trackrod Rally Yorkshire saw record spectator numbers attend the event in Cropton and Dalby forests.

In further good news, Forestry England and Motorsport UK have now agreed a temporary extension to the Master Agreement for 2022, with work continuing on a new Master Agreement, which will come into effect from 2023 onwards.
