EPF Graphics helps turn a much-respected date in the motorsports calendar into an event to remember…

Having last run in 2020, the Jack Frost Stages Rally made its return to the Croft Circuit on Sunday 7 December 2025, so closing the venue’s racing calendar with a full-capacity field and an atmosphere that reminded everyone attending why this winter event is so firmly embedded in the UK’s colourful rallying and motorsports culture.

The 2025 Jack Frost Stages Rally didn’t just make a comeback according to those who were there - it re-established itself. Croft ended its season not quietly winding down, but lit-up by rally spot-lamps, wrapped-up in noise and excitement, and filled-up with a field that faced to the challenges and really delivered on the entertainment front. Though it was a cold as it ever was, and maybe wetter too, fresh momentum set the tone and the event’s future already feels brighter.

Dave Todd and his team from EPF Graphics helped make the event the visual spectacle everyone expects, providing participants with the event’s mandatory graphics, and taking a key sponsorship position itself. Dave Todd is himself a familiar face in motorsport circles and his company has a towering reputation for the technical merit of the work it undertakes. EPF’s work has graced participating vehicles, and the entourage that supports them, in many formulas on two and four wheels.

EPF demonstrated on the day that the requirement for graphics that only have a short-term application, doesn’t have to mean that quality is sacrificed. The company, under Dave Todd’s leadership, maintains an attitude to quality that radiates through everything it makes. From exemplary print standard, expert project management, and flawless application, an EPF job is an exemplar of things done right. 

Dave and his team provided the event graphics’ design and produced the needed IDs for vehicles ready-to-apply. Metamark materials were used including MD-100 which delivers MD-Class colour fidelity and is expressly produced for short-term applications. MD-FL440 was elected for the banner advertising used in the event.

Across eight special stages totalling 45 competitive miles, crews tackled a layout that evolved throughout the day - from crisp daylight sprints into a dramatic two-stage finale run in darkness. The transition added risk, spectacle, and that unmistakable Jack Frost character and rally unpredictability. Central servicing kept teams close to the fans with a paddock that felt open, informal, and deeply connected to the enthusiasts. EPF’s graphics attracted a lot of eyes on the day.

Croft Circuit itself played a starring role. Set in North Yorkshire and long regarded as one of the UK’s most versatile motorsport venues, Croft’s blend of fast straights, technical complexes, and wide-open viewing areas makes it uniquely suited to stage rallying. Its history stretches from 1940s airfield roots to hosting BTCC, club racing, time attack, and now its renewed winter showpiece. 

According to Dave Todd, the event itself fulfilled every expectation it set and confirmed rallying as an appealing specialisation among motorsports. As for EPF’s role, it’s high standard apply regardless. Big event or small, the company only knows one version of quality - it’s known as ‘The best.’
