What could be better? champagne, chateauxs, sportscars, and rallyes... we are set for the 2025 edition. Ignore the winter blues and look forward to the freedom of the open byways of Northern France for our annual adventure to the land of Champagne and the Rallye d’Aumale.
W.D.WINS are proud to present our annual pilgrimage; a 5-day and 4 night voyage of discovery of the best of the Champagne region, Reims and the Rallye d’Aumale in Chantilly, north of Paris. The 2025 edition is a very special event celebrating the 80th anniversary of the armistice of World War 2, and some 1945 style celebration, French style. Strictly limited to 200 crews, we have reserved 15 spaces with our friends at Club D’Aumale.
Limited to 15 cars, you will need to bring your classic steed, but everything else will be taken care of. This includes transfer to the continent via Eurostar, luxury accommodation, fine dining and champagne, special access to The Rallye D’Aumale, and all the thrill it brings.
£4500 per crew (driver plus navigator)
£1000 deposit will secure your place

THURSDAY 24 APRIL
Meet at Folkestone for our crossing to France, and a short dap across the Normandy coast to our hotel for the night in the beautiful and sophisticated resort of Le Touquet Paris-Plage. The Westminster Hotel is steeped in cinematic history – Fleming took inspiration from it for his Casino Royale novel, and in 1962 Sean Connery signed his first contract at the hotel. If the weather allows, an aperitif at the beach bar is a welcome start to the evening ahead of dinner at one of the famous fish restaurants in town.
FRIDAY 25 APRIL
Breakfast at the hotel in Le Touquet and then a scenic dap across country toward Champagne country and the rolling vineyards around Epernay and Reims. We will enjoy a private tour of one of the world’s most inimitable Champagne houses. Following a viewing of the caves and cellars, and of course a tasting session we will head into the centre of reims to a 5* hotel for dinner and luxury billet.
SATURDAY 26 APRIL
After an agreeable breakfast we’ll set of from Reims toward our Rallye base in Chantilly, via the world renowned Grand Prix circuit at Reims-Gueux. Now abandoned but perhaps the most famous of the traditional European road circuits – and certainly one of the fastest. A fabulous chance for photos amongst the original stands and pits with their original hand painted livery and motorsport brands. Rallye base is at the Chantilly Polo Club and on arrival all crews will check in ahead of the Rallye D’Aumale. Our hotel is a 5 minute drive away and is our annual Chantilly base; The Grand Pavillon. Check in, freshen up, maybe an aperitif at the bar, and then back to the polo Club for a Champagne reception and party with the rest of the 200 crews to celebrate the start of Rallye D’Aumale 2025.
SUNDAY 27 APRIL
Breakfast at the hotel, and off too the Polo Club for the main event of the Rallye d’Aumale. The rally is a challenging routemap event through the winding roads and stunning scenery, and through the fabulous towns and hamlets around Chantilly. Picnic lunch is included, and also some surprises along the way.
Once over the finishing line back at the Club, the Polo Match will begin, so pick up your picnic, and spectate, maybe with a glass of Champagne, and view or participate in the Concours d’elegance.
After a full and exciting day, it’s back to our Chantilly base, the Grand Pavillon, to get ready for the final TEAM WINS dinner. As per annual tradition, we will meet up for a private dinner with the team at Club D’Aumale to share stories and celebrate their 10th anniversary in style.
