MAIN SPONSOR
My name is David White and I am the Managing Director of White’s Family Bakery business based here in Barnsley and we are a supplier of baked goods to schools nationally across the UK. I have always loved driving and passed my driving test at 10.30am on my 17th Birthday. The following year I won the Advanced Driver of the year and later became Rotherham Motor Club Champion. I have been around rallying for 45 years and spectated on my very first event which was a night rally coincidentally on the roads around Penistone at the age of 12.
During my life I have always loved motor sports in all its guises, F1, Touring Cars, Single seater’s and even Moto GP.
However, in my honest and very accurate opinion, nothing will ever come close to the thrill of Closed Road Rallying which historically was only accessible in places like The Isle of Man, Ireland and Europe.
Rallying is a real community with family and friends all joining in either helping on events or spectating. My eldest John who has special needs loves it when we can get him out on events. We even did an event for a group of his friends from Greenworks in Cawthorne taking them as passengers around Cadwell Park race circuit, which they all loved and still talk about all these years later.
All my life I have dreamed about a closed road rally along the very roads that this route is proposing, and it is an honour to be asked to be the main Sponsor of the event. I know just what Barnsley is capable of and I know, and have seen first-hand the benefits that this type of event can bring in terms of revenue, publicity, and goodwill to the borough. Showcasing this spectacle in my home town is a real thrill and I can’t put into words how excited I am to be part of it.
Steve and Andrew have an incredible vision for this event and will work tirelessly. I would encourage and applaud any stakeholders, decision makers and residents to please give them your full support to make this vision a reality. The kudos that the town will achieve in hosting this event is phenomenal.
The Rally of Yorkshire held in Barnsley will put us well and truly on the map.
Thank You
