Richard at Castle Combe Stage Rally 2026

A fantastic weekend of motorsport at Castle Combe, with Richard Williams and co-driver Robbie Sandford bringing the Williams Crawford-built Group 4 Porsche 911 home in an impressive 13th place overall and 4th in Class 3.
 
Held over 7th and 8th November, the Castle Combe Stage Rally delivered two days of competitive action, with nine stages covering approximately 50 miles of tarmac around the circuit and its perimeter roads.

With a varied field of rally machinery, challenging stages and the added excitement of rallying in darkness, it was a great opportunity to put the classic 911 through its paces and enjoy some proper motorsport.
 
The weekend also included a particularly poignant moment, when the organisers brought everyone together at 11am to observe a moment of remembrance ahead of Remembrance Day. A thoughtful and respectful tribute, and one that Richard particularly appreciated.
 
A big thank you to everyone who made the weekend possible.
 
To Bath Motor Club for organising such a fantastic event, Castle Combe Circuit for hosting, and all the scrutineers and marshals whose hard work keeps motorsport running safely and smoothly.
 
A special mention to Westcountry Rescue, whose volunteers give their time to provide essential motorsport rescue services at events like this.
 
It was also lovely to see so many Williams Crawford customers coming along to say hello and share in the atmosphere.
 
And, of course, a huge thank you to the Williams Crawford team for their hard work preparing the Porsche, supporting Richard throughout the event and providing plenty of encouragement along the way.
 
Turn up the volume and enjoy some highlights from the weekend – there’s nothing quite like the sound of a Group 4 Porsche 911 being driven as intended!
