The Great Arc Classic Car Rally
Name: The Great Arc Classic Car Rally
Date: 2011-02-01
Place: Mussoorie,India

Description:
The Great Arc, last year named 5th in the Telegraph's "Top 10 Rallies Around The World", is now open for Entries. Entries are limited to 15 places. What an event the Great Arc of India has become. One month across rural India from KanyaKumari to Mussoorie tracking the route of Everest & Lampton, and off course let’s not forget the guys in their classics in 2009. The two highlights of the rally are the great diversity of Indian drives and the rather superb and glorious camp sites erected in wonderful locations across the countryside. I love driving the astonishing variety of Indian roads that criss cross the great changing Indian landscape. For me the great drives of India are the tea plantations of the Cardamom Hills Munnar to Theckedy; outstanding drives up, across and through the Palani Hills. I think the greatest of all Indian drives is Elephant Valley to Palani; or how about the 41 hairpins bends of Ooty; the big open arid expansive road to Hampi; the savannah drives around Kaddan Dam; into Pashmair hills; Sagar to Ochha; rural Gwalior route; Dausa to Alwar including Sariska; and then one of my personal favourites’ - Kesroli’s loop (you can see the film of this on Roarr.tv). And then the camping! Four great locations from coconut groves below the Palani Hills; on the river bank at Hampi; in the forests of Kaddam Dam; and high in the hills of Pashmari. This is George Everest and William Lampton crossing India as they would have camped during the Great Arc Survey of the 1820’s. Quite special, luxurious camping, the best travelling campsite in the world! Then the charming hotels, chosen because they are characterful, small and can be quite bizarre. Most are known to me from my travels in India and now form part of the Great Arc route.

Place: Warwickshire,United Kingdom

Description:
Something new for our 2010 Tour Britannia entrants is our 'Bring a Friend' scheme. If you are a past competitor of Tour Britannia, for every newcomer you introduce to the event you will receive a Tour Britannia branded Fortis watch worth approximately £1,000. Any previous Tour Britannia driver or co-driver qualifies, providing the newcomer starts the 2010 event. The newcomer's entry form must have the "introducers" name in the appropriate box when it is submitted to Tour Britannia. The watches will be distributed at Documentation on 7 September 2010. Every year, because of the restriction on grid numbers at race circuits - and very occasionally the availability of accommodation - the total number of competitors we can accept has to remain relatively modest. We have not had to disappoint anyone yet, but, with entries now open, we do urge those of you who revealed that you were keen to come back for more of the same, to at least get your foot in the door by downloading an Entry Form, filling it in and returning it to us with your deposit. Once your priority is established, you can feel secure.

Place: Val de Vienne,France

Description:
16th Sport & Collection - 500 Ferrari against cancer Despite the weather and a multitude of competitors who saturated the paddock at some times, the 15th Sport & Collection was a real success of conviviality, passion and solidarity. It was exceptionally embellished by the “Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge”. We have been able to make an outstanding donation of 260 000 Euros to the CHU Hospital of Poitiers for the research against cancer, which represents a total of 1 700 000 Euros in the 15 year period. It would be exceptional to reach the desired amount of 2 millions of Euros for 2010!

Rallye des Princesses
Name: Rallye des Princesses
Date: 2010-05-30
Place: Paris,France

Description:

So what exactly is the Princess’ Rally?

The Princess’ Rally: the unique fusion of passion, elegance, and sportsmanship. The Princess’ Rally is not only an opportunity for women to escape from their daily routines, but above all, it’s a chance to combine their passion for fabulous classic automobiles with their keen interest in driving. It is what we call a “regularity” rally which offers women the wonderful possibility of expressing their powerful personalities and their competitive drive within a truly refined and exceptionally friendly atmosphere. And they sure do need to have a strong character because driving a classic car can be rather tricky, somewhat physical, and definitely demands finesse, especially when it comes to following rules and regulations to a tee. But you’d be amazed at how much FUN it can be to take charge and actually control a real beauty along the spectacular country roads of France!

When it comes to a regularity rally, the only things that are really important are accuracy and the synergy between the driver and her co-pilot. Four times a day, along specifically designed “Regularity Sectors”, participants must maintain a very specific average speed (50km/h). The finish line remains a mystery. Based on the driving times, penalty points (which are calculated relative to the age of the car), are assigned.
The Princess’ Rally has become one of the finest regularity races in all of France (under the guidance of the French Motor Sport Federation).

Classic cars must date back to before the war, but participants can choose from models dating from 1925 to 1976. Everything from top-of-the-line Mercedes 300SL, 1929 Alfa Roméo Zagatto, 1927 Bugatti, 1937 BMW 328, 1962 Jaguar XK120, Ferrari Dino, Porsche 356, Austin Healey, to smaller models such as the Triumph, MG, Alfa, Lancia, Fiat, Mini Cooper, Honda, and so on have all joined in this thrilling competition.

Teams are 100% female, or mixed, in which case, the gentleman is only allowed to participate as co-pilot, ever as driver! They come from all over Europe: England, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and even the U.S.A.

Tuesday, December 19. 2006 Organizer own words: "It is with confidence that I say that the Concours of Villa d'Este at Cernobbio is perhaps the most significant of all events celebrating the mystique of the vintage car.
