End of an Era
Following a meeting with directors of Motorsport (North West) Ltd and members of the North West Stages management team, the event is sad to announce that after 20 years of valued support, Legend Fires will no longer sponsor the event. This follows the retirement of Managing Director John Stone.
John began his passionate support of the event in 2004, significantly shaping its success. We extend our heartfelt thanks to John for his contributions and wish him all the best in his retirement and future endeavours.
This creates an exciting opportunity for a new title sponsor to support the North West Stages. If you or someone you know is interested, please email organisingteam@northweststages.co.uk.
It was also agreed to return the North West Stages to its original multi-venue format, designed to help clubman competitors transition from single-venue to multi-venue rallies. First conceived in 1995 and launched in 1997, this format fills a gap in the competition calendar by offering a unique and challenging grassroots event.
With the addition of new team members, the team is currently researching venues to reintroduce this format in 2026. Updates will follow.
Thanks
The Organising Team
