Lombard Rally Festival Grimsthorpe Castle - will not run in 2025 - our tarmac demonstration stage spectacular!

We are delighted to be back in the fantastic surroundings of Grimsthorpe Castle for the third time, running alongside the Baston Car Show as usual.

The brilliant all tarmac stage running away from the Castle with the picturesque lake alongside, with many testing corners before opening out to the finish. To make the stage even more interesting, it is run in both directions to bring the cars back to the Castle after each group of cars have completed.
