HERO-ERA’s new scholarship hopes to get young people into historic rallying
The Bob Rutherford Historic Rally Scholarship for Young Navigators was set up by Guy Woodcock, HERO-ERA’s Competition Director, and rally organiser Will Rutherford.
It is in memory of Will’s father, Bob, who passed away on the HERO-ERA Classic Marathon recce in 2021. As well as being a long-time and enthusiastic rally competitor and marshal, Bob was committed to sharing his knowledge and helping the next generation get into regularity rallying.
With few schemes to encourage and support younger competitors, this new initiative is a fitting celebration of Bob’s legacy.
The scheme is named after Bob Rutherford, who was a much-loved competitor and marshal at HERO-ERA rallies
