| Ilfracombe Rally - November 19th/20th |
 |
The final major event in the North Devon Motor Club's calendar took place on November 20th and 21st, as 37 crews tackled a demanding route across the north of the county on the 2005 Ilfracombe Rally. The combination of the lanes around Hartland and very slippery conditions including sheet ice gave a fair result. Some classifications were decided on furthest cleanest so the competition was pretty close in all divisions.
