SPECTATORS at a popular car rally event in the region could soon find themselves starring in a safety movie.

The Riponian Rally, which starts and finishes at Lightwater Valley, the theme park near Ripon, North Yorkshire, has been chosen to take the main lead in a video by the Motor Sports Association.

The video is being made as an attempt to improve spectator safety after a car crashed into the crowd at an event in Wales.

The Riponian Rally has been chosen because it is thought to be the ideal event for filming.

Rally spectators are being invited to join in the making of the film by taking on the roles of extras.
