Bath Event

 

A tour with untimed special stages, set up to recreate exactly as they would have been on the iconic Lombard Rally in the 1970s and 1980s. Come and join us to experience rallying as it was, but without the pressure!

 

2023's Lombard Rally Bath celebrated the amazing 50th Anniversary of the Lancia Stratos, with the first entry numbers reserved for these cars. Joined by two of the drivers of the 'Chequered Flag' Stratos from the 1970s, who will drive these cars on the event. In 2022 we celebrated the achievements of the Abingdon built works Minis, with a selection of the cars and drivers taking part. We had expected to host the late Paddy Hopkirk, the winner of the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally in a Mini, but were joined by other works Mini drivers and cars.

We look forward to our new Easter date on 19th and 20th April. Come and join us to see not only fantastic rally cars in action, but displays of classic and sports cars as well. Hospitality packages are available to join in at the Drivers Lounge, or attend the Drivers Social event.

Other star cars and star drivers will also join us.

The Saturday and Sunday will see the cars tackling just one venue, watch out for information on our spectator spots. 

Watch out for our VIP Packages for the event! Including opportunities such as:

A ride in the co-drivers seat for the whole event, 

OR

Rent a Ford Escort Mk2, with pre-event tuition available (for an additional cost)

Would like to have a go but don't have a navigator? - we always have experienced co-drivers wanting "a ride" or maybe you have someone who would like to co-drive but is worried about making a mistake - don't worry, we will happily get one of the organising team to talk through the job of "the sack of potatoes" to help!

SPECTATORS WILL BE ABLE TO VOTE FOR THEIR DRIVER OF THE DAY ON OUR NEWLY DEVELOPED APP. WATCH OUT FOR THE QR CODE AT THE SPECTATOR STAGES TO VOTE. WILL IT BE THE SMARTEST CAR, THE DRIVER WHO GET'S MOST SIDEWAYS, OR THE CAR WITH THE BEST ENGINE NOTE? WON IN 2021 BY RICHARD MAWSON'S ANGLIA 'GROUP 4' AND IN 2022 BY SOMERSET'S STEVE LEIGH IN HIS YELLOW ESCORT, IN 2023 BY ANDY DAWSON IN JERRY BAILEY'S SRATOS. 

We look forward to welcoming many more entrants from outside the UK, as many were unable to travel previously due to travel restrictions. Act fast! We don't expect spaces to last long.
