JCB Photography was at Donington Park Circuit for the TEGIWA Dukeries Rally on Sunday 16th March 2025.
The event is organized by the Dukeries Motor Club and was a round of the 2024/25 Protyre Circuit Rally Championship along with several Regional Association Stage Rally Championships including Dukeries Motor Club’s own rally championship.
This was the 65th running of the event and entries included Ford Fiesta R5‘s along with a number of other classes R5 cars from different manufacturers together with many popular clubman cars, such as the Ford Escort’s, Nissan Micra’s, Mazda MX5 along with a variety of BMW's, and Peugeot's.
Using the Donington Park Circuit, with around 50 stages miles over seven Special Stages all within the confines of the Circuit but also using some of the access roads around the track and off-road sections on the infield.
The crews would have to complete a couple of laps of the track with chicanes and would also include a number of merges and split points along the route, this could result in two rally cars been on the same part of the track at the same time, which is quite unusual for rally crews in the open forestry commission stages.

2nd Michael Igoe and co-driver Will Atkins driving a Citroen C3 Rally 2
3rd Chris West and co-driver Keith Hounslow driving a Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car
