Neil Simpson has entered this weekend's MSA Rally, round five of the Mobil 1 British Championship.

Fresh from his class win on the Jim Clark Memorial Rally, the Colne driver will again drive his Pirelli and Browns Mitsubishi Lancer Evo6.

Simpson is joined by championship leader Marko Ipatti, Volkswagen factory driver Tapion Laukkanen, and Vauxhall duo Neil Wearden and Mark Higgins.

Based in Grantham, Lincolnshire, the single-day event is new to the calendar and will favour drivers who can produce their top speed from the start -- it packs 15 stages into just 42 competitive miles, with no stage longer than 3.5 miles.
