There are a lot of people to thank following the 2026 Hills Ford Stages, but this one is for our sponsors, supporters and event partners.
Quite simply, without their support, we could not have delivered the event we did.
The cost of putting on a modern closed-road rally is considerable. The support we receive from businesses and organisations plays a vital part in allowing us to deliver the event, while helping us keep entry costs as sensible as possible and provide the best value for our competitors.
From our title sponsor Hills Ford and Tier One sponsor GSF Car Parts, through to our event sponsors Cartwrights Waste Disposal Services, Get Connected, MAR Motorsport, Thomas Panels & Profiles, Cherry Rock, Land & Estate Maintenance, Lacey & Owen and R.A. Swann Ltd — every contribution made a difference.
But an event like ours also depends upon organisations prepared to provide their expertise, facilities, services and support.
So our thanks also go to our supporters and event partners, including Volkswagen & Audi Centre, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, Wales Air Ambulance Charity, Shropshire Rural Support, Chinnicks Theatre Services, Harper Adams University, M-Sport, Rallying the Wright Way, Shrewsbury Colleges Group, University of Gloucestershire Sports Journalism, Halls, Clifton Security, Another Day in Orange, British Rally Marshals Club, Lingen Davies Cancer Support, Special Stage and Design and media by Steve.
Their contribution helped us deliver everything from the competition itself to safety, venues, communications, education, media, community engagement and the wider experience surrounding the rally.
Sponsorship and partnership aren’t simply about a logo on a banner
They help keep our sport affordable.
They help us give competitors value for their entry.
They provide the people, expertise and resources that make an event possible.
So, to every business and organisation that put its name, resources, time or financial support behind the 2026 Hills Ford Stages:
THANK YOU.
You didn’t just support the rally.
You helped make history in Shropshire for fans and competitors.
