JCB Photography was at Cadwell Park Circuit, for the single venue stage rally, the NHMC Cadwell Stages Rally and Fireworks display on Sunday 16th November 2025.
The event is organised by the North Humberside Motor Club, with assistance from members of the Trackrod Motor Club. This was the second round of the 2025/26 Protyre Circuit Rally Championship, the first round having taken place at Oulton Park Circuit for the Neil Howard stages on 1st November.
The event was also part of a several other Rally Championships including the 2025 Clubman Motorsport and 2025 EMAMC Stage Rally Championship.
Using the Cadwell Park Circuit and some of the access and service roads, with around 43 stages miles over eight Special Stages, all of which were sealed surface and all within the confines of the circuit but also using some of the access roads around the track. Half of these special stages were run in reverse direction to a normal race day on the track. With the last two special stages run partly in the dark.
With a real mix bag of competing clubman rally cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Ford Escort MkII’s, Nissan Micra, Mazda MX5, Mitsubishi Evo’s, Subaru Impreza’s and a variety of BMW's, and Peugeot's. With 95 entries, car number one driven by John Griffiths and co-driver Emma Morrison in the Skoda Fabia R5. The crew won this event last year and took to the first special stage at 9 o’clock.
For the first four special stages the track was run in reverse and the final four was run in the normal direction. The crews would complete a couple of laps, or part laps of the track, with added chicanes and would also include a number of merges and split points in the special stage. This could result in several rally cars been on the same part of the track at the same time, which is quite unusual for rally crews in the open forestry commission stages.
Out of the 95 entries only 62 cars were classified as finishers, almost a third of the field did not see the finish.
The winners of the 2025 NHMC Cadwell Stages Rally were Michael Igoe and co-driver Will Atkins in a Citroen C3 Rally 2.
John Griffiths and co-driver Emma Morrison driving a Skoda Fabia R5, were 2nd, with John Stone driving a VW Polo R5 GTi with co-driver Rhys Stoneman.
