A press release has been issued by the organising committee, as follows:

Press Release
For Immediate Release

Malton Forest Rally Cancelled Due to Ongoing Wildfires in Langdale Forest

The organising committee of the Malton Forest Rally regret to announce that this year’s event has been cancelled due to the ongoing wildfires in Langdale Forest. Following discussionswith Forestry England there has been significant damage to the forest tracks in the forest complex and this will not be repaired in time for this year’s event. 

With no additional forestry land available to replace the affected stages, the committee carefully considered all options and concluded that it would be better to cancel the rally than to deliver a substandard event.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and their contractors for their tireless work in bringing the fire under control and protecting our local community and environment.

All competitors who have entered and paid will receive a full refund of their entry fees over the weekend. Refunds will be processed automatically, and no further action is required from entrants. 

The club also wishes to extend its gratitude to the Bannister Family of B&F Potatoes for their continued support

While it is deeply disappointing to cancel this year’s rally, we are already looking ahead to the future. The Malton Forest Rally will return on Sunday, 1st November 2026, and we look forward to welcoming competitors, volunteers, and spectators back for a full day of exciting rally action.
