Roger Albert Clark Rally Documentary – Dan & Cyril Jones
A 5-Day Rally Documentary from South Wales to Scotland
The Roger Albert Clark Rally is widely regarded as one of the toughest rally events in the world — a five-day endurance challenge that pushes drivers, co-drivers, and cars to their absolute limits.
This documentary follows Dan and Cyril Jones as they take on that challenge, travelling from South Wales to Scotland, competing across some of the most demanding forest stages in the UK.
As a filmmaker, this project was about more than just motorsport coverage — it was about capturing a real story as it unfolded.

Professional rally documentary following Dan & Cyril Jones at the Roger Albert Clark Rally. Filmed across the UK from South Wales to Scotland using Canon C70 and R5C.
Capturing Real Motorsport, Not Just Highlights
Most rally content focuses on speed and results. This film takes a different approach.
Across five days, I documented the full journey — including:
The build-up and anticipation at the start
Long days moving between stages across the UK
The physical and mental fatigue that sets in
Mechanical pressures on both car and crew
The unpredictable nature of rallying at this level
The result is a character-driven motorsport documentary that shows what rallying is really like behind the scenes.
The Reality of the Roger Albert Clark Rally
The Roger Albert Clark Rally isn’t just about performance — it’s about endurance, adaptability, and resilience.
Crews face:
Constantly changing weather conditions
Night stages with limited visibility
Technical forest roads with no margin for error
Mechanical wear over hundreds of competitive miles
Over the course of the film, you see how quickly things can change — and how teams respond when they do.
That unpredictability is what makes rallying so compelling to film.
Filming in High-Pressure Environments
This project was shot using a dual-camera setup:
Canon C70 – for reliable, cinematic run-and-gun shooting
Canon R5C – for high-resolution detail and flexibility
Working across multiple locations in rapidly changing conditions meant staying mobile, efficient, and ready to capture moments as they happened.
There’s no reset in rallying — you either get the shot or you miss it.
A Documentary Built on Story
At its core, this film is about people.
Dan and Cyril’s journey reflects what makes grassroots and historic rallying so powerful — determination, teamwork, and the ability to keep going when things don’t go to plan.
That’s what I focus on in every project:
real moments, told properly.
