Martin, Nigel, Peter, Stuart and Peter invite you to participate in the Summer Rally. This event will use some of the best driving roads that can be found in the magnificent countryside of the Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cumbria borders. This is superb rally territory and has rarely been used by the VSCC and certainly not visited since a long distant Measham.

Rally HQ is at the lovely village hall in Arkholme, in the picturesque Lune valley, a mere 15 minute drive from Junction 35 of the M6. The 95 mile route is devised in a figure of eight with the start, halfway and finish at the village hall where pre-event coffee and a buffet lunch will be served. A bar will be available afterwards.

Similar instructions, subtly differentiated to provide a suitable level of challenge, will be provided for Experts, Semi-Experts and Novices. The Champagne Class will receive straight forward, unambiguous directions, designed to allow beginners to enjoy a successful rally too.

For further details please contact Clerk of the Course, Martin Jelley, on 01704 507663 or m.jelley145@btinternet.com whilst volunteers to marshal should contact Chief Marshal, Stuart Cooke on 01254 772372 or ju250@btinternet.com

This event is organised by the same experienced team that brought you the 2013 Spring Rally: “.....it was impeccably organised with an interesting route and instructions that were challenging but unambiguous.” (Ray Edge: Spring Rally Report – The Bulletin No 280)

Class 4 will run at the lower average speed, but will still be a Rally and not a Tour. There are no restrictions to entrants, any Pre-war car may be used (so no need for a Buff Form) and there are no classification awards in this class. The PDVCC will be an invited club to take part in the Champagne Class.
