Classic Car Events

Sahara Challenge

Nine million square kilometres of sand, seas of rolling dunes, and large rock plateaus. The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, a vast wilderness that stretches all the way across the top of Africa. There aren’t many environments on the planet that can claim to be as harsh as the extremes experienced in the Sahara, excesses of temperature at either end of the mercury, dust storms that engulf all that stand before, and a lack of water that even the Dromedary Camel struggles with. But for all the hardship, this is a place where life endures and finds a way, whether that be the West African Cheetah, or its distant cousin the Sand Cat or the countless other examples of wildlife that call this wilderness home. Human life also finds a way, nomadic herdsmen eking out a life in this severe environment. It is also beautiful, the golden sand of the desert striking a hard contrast with the azure blue of the sun-filled skies, oasis of green punctuating the dunes in a riot of life, water and colour and the topographic and geological transitions that are sometimes the only clue to any changes in elevation or guides to direction. To witness this huge area is a once in a lifetime experience, a privilege and a reminder that life can conquer all and find a way just about anywhere. To rally out here, on the other hand, is a joy that is only really known by those that have done it. The Sahara Challenge will select the very best bits that the desert has to offer and condense it all into a 12-day adventure, that will test the soul and leave an unrivalled feeling of triumph after one has conquered the ever-encroaching sands of the desert. Beginning and ending in Spain, just a short hop over the Mediterranean Sea will transport all of those involved into another time, a distant world where the roads were sparsely populated and the roadsides even less so. If remote rallying is what you are after, the Sahara Challenge is the test for you. For those with Peking to Paris 2022 ( now postponed until 2023) on their minds, the Sahara Challenge will also provide a very important platform to shake down cars and test them before the ultimate challenge begins just a few months later. Few other rallies will provide an opportunity to test cars in such extremes of temperature and on sandy and soft roads that are always a hallmark of the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge. Whatever your reason for entering, the Sahara Classic offers to be a phenomenal adventure for anyone brave enough to enter. The opportunity to experience one of the world’s last great wildernesses, and rally a classic car whilst doing so, well, those chances don’t just come along every day. We hope to see you on the start line in September 2022…

Over the years, the scenery of the Madonie Park, a naturalistic, historical and artistic heritage, characterized by rugged mountains overlooking the sea of Sicily, has been the theatre of the exploits of the most famous drivers of the entire international car-racing panorama.

As with previous Cloverleaf events, the emphasis will be on quirky fun and a touch of the unexpected, although rest assured that cream teas will definitely be on the menu! We will have exclusive use of the stunning accommodation at Hotel Endsleigh, set in 100 acres of private parkland. The hotel overlooks the River Tamar that, as well as forming the boundary between Devon and Cornwall, is designated an "Area of Outstandind Natural Beauty".

Rally Revival

Le Jog

Considered by crews as one of the most demanding and challenging events in Europe and a definite to be ticked on your “must do” events list! HERO’s Land’s End to John O’Groats Reliability Trial is open to cars of a specification built before 1986. Running in December, tough conditions are to be expected, but no-one crosses the finish line without a smile on their face. The event has been tackled and completed by novice crews in the past, however, we would recommend undertaking less advanced events as a preparatory measure prior to competing on Le Jog.

The winter event, both sporting and friendly, will be held at the Peugeot Adventure Museum in Sochaux from 11 February 2023 for technical and administrative checks, which will be the prelude to a wild first night stage to Malbuisson, the rally centre for three days.

Snow, ice and sliding are on the programme of a triptych which succeeds in achieving the perfect alchemy between sporting regularity, the pleasure of driving and a conviviality found around the same site and an irreproachable hotel in terms of its comfort and the quality of its table.

Three Legs of Mann 2023 Isle of Man

The Isle of Man needs little introduction to petrolheads of any persuasion. For more than a century its unyielding and constricted lanes have hosted two and four wheeled competitions at the very highest echelons of world motorsport. Giants have walked here, and if the legends are to be believed then Mann itself was created by the Irish giant, Finn McCool. But the thing about the Isle of Man, is that whilst sporting giants compete here, participating alongside them have always been normal folk, as well as the fairies, pitting themselves against the best, standing on the shoulders of giants.

Mugello Classic

Whether at Imola, Monza, Vallelunga or Mugello, every season of historic races by Peter Auto includes an event in Italy, the cradle of the most beautiful and prestigious sports cars. This year is no exception to the tradition! Racing in Italy always provides a special emotion. Homeland of the best sports brands – Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lancia, Maserati … – authentic automobile jewel in the collective imagination. Earth of anthology circuits, Imola, Monza, Mugello, Pescara, Vallelunga … – arenas of the finest mechanical games. Italy is also the home of the tifosi, the unconditional supporters of the Scuderia Ferrari.

Flying Scotsman Vintage Rally 2023

The 13th Flying Scotsman Vintage Rally 2023 Full Steam Ahead Firth of Clyde to Glenagles After being forced to spend a few years resting in the sidings, the Flying Scotsman – the UK’s premier rally designed exclusively for Vintage motorcars – once again built up a full head of steam and returned to the ‘tracks’ in 2022. This blue riband event saw over 90 of the finest pre-war vehicles take to the scenic byways of Northern England and Scotland, bringing great joy to both the participants and the spectators who lined the route. Since its first outing in 2009, the Flying Scotsman has built its own very special place on the vintage motoring calendar. There is a definite magic about it, it is escapism at its very best, providing an opportunity to abscond from the tumult of the modern world and drift back to a time when the roads were not so saturated, and life was simpler. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Well, planning is already underway for the next edition, timetabled for 14 – 16 April 2023. The spring adventure will depart the shores of the Firth of Clyde on a three-day exploration of Scotland and the North of England, finishing at the palatial Gleneagles, with each day packed full of fine roads, tremendous company, friendly competition (suitable for all levels of experience) and of course, exquisite cars.

For those who are unfamiliar with the event, crews can expect to mix some of the best driving roads that Scotland has to offer, along with stunning scenery and visits to many of the distilleries that are dotted around this unique country. Along the way we will also take in other special locations to help make the event even more memorable.

Mille Miglia - “La corsa più bella del mondo”

The origins of the thousand-mile race (Italian: “mille miglia”) lie in the age-old rivalry between Milan and Brescia. After the contract for the construction of Italy’s first Grand Prix track in Monza near Milan was awarded in 1925, resourceful merchants from Brescia countered with a virtual race track: instead of a circuit, the same track length as in the Grand Prix, namely 1,600 kilometers, should be driven overland.

The Trans-America Challenge

The Trans-America August – September 2023 America is a land intrinsically linked with the automobile, and whilst the United States cannot lay a claim to being the ones that invented the contraption that we are all obsessed with, thanks to the likes of Ford and Durant et al. the motor car became something that would touch the lives of many and not just a few. It is a country that has inspired many, with its tall tales, cities that reach up to the heavens, huge landscapes and its all-encompassing skies. There is a long tradition of travel and a pull to enjoy life on the road, whether that be mounted on a Hogg on route 66, cruising in a Cadillac on the road to nowhere on highway 3 or following in the footsteps of Kerouac, Moriarty and Ginsberg, on the road is very much a way of life.
