MINI WRC Team driver Dani Sordo has joined the line-up for The Rally Show at Cornbury Park this weekend. Just one week after its debut at Rally Italy, the Spaniard will demonstrate the brand new MINI John Cooper Works WRC, which was designed and built by Prodrive in Banbury. The eyes of the motorsport world will be on Cornbury Park's 1.1-mile special Sstage as the MINI WRC makes its first appearance in the UK.

The Rally Show - a firm fixture on the motorsport calendar - is being held for the first time in Oxfordshire. Visitors will see an array of classic and modern rally cars on show, including the new M-Sport Ford Fiesta WRC, currently flying high in the World Rally Championship. It will be driven by World Rally star Henning Solberg (on Saturday 14 May) and newcomer Ott Tanak (on Sunday 15 May). S2000 driver Tanak impressed at Rally Italy last week, finishing seventh in a field of 18 World Rally Cars.

Malcolm Neill, The Rally Show Managing Director, said:

"We are extremely excited to bring The Rally Show to motorsport fans in Oxfordshire. It will be the first time the British public will be able to see the MINI WRC and the M-Sport Ford Fiesta RS WRC in action. It will be a fantastic weekend for all the family."
Alongside the competitive rallies, the weekend will include demonstrations by stunt driver Terry Grant. On Saturday 14 May, the crowd will also enjoy a fly-past by the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, which recently took part in the Royal Wedding celebrations. The Rally Show is always pleased to welcome stars past and present to the event; veteran drivers attending this year include MINI legend Paddy Hopkirk, and former British Rally Champions Russell Brookes, Gwyndaf Evans and Jimmy McRae.

Cornbury Park is the family home of Lord and Lady Rotherwick, and includes 1,700 acres of some of the most ancient private parkland in Britain. Its connection to rallying was formed in the 1990s, when it hosted a special stage during the Network Q RAC Rally.
