🏁 It’s November, which means the Challenger Stages is THIS MONTH!

And our countdown through last year’s finishers continues with Shaun King & Connor Merrifield, who brought Car 18, their Ford Es**rt, home in 13th overall.

We’ve been counting down for weeks, but with just 12 crews left to reveal and this year’s event now only a couple of weeks away, it’s all starting to feel rather close!

The 2026 Challenger Stages takes place at Bovington AWDC on 14th & 15th November and we have a couple of places still available:

As always, due to the nature of the land, this is a non-spectator event.

Taking 14th spot in last year’s Challenger Stages were Joe Piggott & John Fellowes in Car 28, their Citroën Saxo.

The Saxo made it through everything Bovington had to offer and safely to the finish, putting Joe and John just outside the Top 10.

And with Halloween out of the way, tomorrow we head into November – which means it really isn’t long until we do it all again! 🏁

The 2026 Challenger Stages returns on 14th & 15th November. Entries are FULL, but we are still accepting reserves:

Taking 15th overall at the 2025 Challenger Stages were John Leslie Cartwright & Antony Stoneman in Car 37, their Ford Es**rt Mk2.
