WHERE TO GO THIS WEEKEND: 25 OCTOBER
Birkett Six Hour Relay Race. Silverstone.
Organised by 750 Motor Club for goodness knows how many years (actually 1951) this is one of the great club races. Actually, two races, overall, and handicap. Pretty well anything goes, with each team made up of three cars and drivers with only one representative on the GP track at once. To find out more visit: 750mc.co.uk
And Then: RALLYE PRESCOTT. Just a couple of weeks away this almost unique daytime/nightime event takes place on 1st November 2025 and this famous hillclimb venue has attracted a full entry, everything from WRC to the more graceful rally cars of the Fifties. Team Retro-Speed will be there, so please, come and say hello.
Details have just arrived on my desk concerning Anniversary Monte 100 Classique 2026. An epic non-competitive winter adventure for classic cars dated between 1924-1986, leaving John O'Groats on 29 January, finishing in Monte Carlo seven days later. The route will run down through Scotland, avoiding motorways, to Hull, where crews embark the overnight ferry to Rotterdam. It's then hot foot to Reims where the rally gets underway proper, following a traditional route through France, across the Alps, and on to Monte Carlo. As a finale, the last day includes a drive over the famous Col de Turini before a special gala dinner at the harbourside headquarters of the ACM. The entry fee of £795 per person includes three hotel nights, the dinner, and ferry crossing with cabin, which surely makes this event bargain of the century.
