Rallye Sunseeker 2007

Sponsors of the Rallye for the second year running, Turbo Dynamics, are pleased to announce further sponsorship in support of this inspiring event for the third year, 2008.

Somerley Park

The TD stand at Somerley Park displayed three stunning vehicles from customers Field Motorsport based in Chelmsford, Tewkesbury based Powerstation and the Milton Keynes based VW Racing Team. They attracted crowds of people watching the two Turbo Dynamics Somerley Stages.

With a growing Motorfair featuring a hugescreen to watch the event unfold, the opportunity to test out the F1 simulator with Toyota F1, Triton Motorsport display, and many more…, Somerley Park will definitely be the venue to visit in 2008. Unfortunately the live performance from the popular band, The Monuments, was rained off and due to their equipment becoming wet, they were unable to return for their scheduled afternoon performance.

As the opening round of the Hankook MSA Gravel Rally Championship, this is the only Rallye event that takes place on the South Coast, attracting many spectators and enthusiasts.
