Limited to 12 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 meals, track action, two days rallye, and all the thrill it brings.
£3750 per crew (driver plus navigator)
£500 deposit will secure your place
/////NB. Places are strictly limited ////Qualifying cars only (call to check).
FRIDAY
Meet at Folkestone (crossing at 10.20) and onwards to Epernay, north-western France and a private champagne tour – for this year’s tour we are guests of Pommery at Domaine Pommery, and its beautiful UNESCO World Heritage home at Villa Demoiselle. It’s a couple of hours to soak up the best of France’s Champagne region and maybe to indulge in a couple of glasses.
An hour’s run across country, and via the famous Grand Prix circuit at Reims-Gueux. Now abandoned but perhaps the most famous of the traditional European road circuits – and certainly among the fastest, the stands and pits and are a must see and photo opportunity.
Our first night’s stay is at the beautiful Château de Fère. Dinner and drinks are waiting, and a chance to reflect on the day.
SATURDAY
Breakfast at the chateaux before a short drive 20 minutes cross country to the Circuit des Ecuyers race track for briefing and 3 x 20 minute sessions. cars are grouped so that you’ll only be on the track with similar class cars. We’ve recently had convertible Jags and Rollers cruising around as well at Loptus and Ferrari racers, so you can be as laid back or as focussed as you’d like.
Lunch is nearby, with a briefing for the Rallye des 3 Forets, eye up the competition, set off for the Rally part one.
The Rallye closes at Chantilly where your fabulous rooms will be waiting for you at Le Grand Pavillion, Chantilly.
Saturday evening is a free time for some rest and relaxation after a busy day, and in preparation for Sunday’s Rally D’Aumale. Maybe a chance to relax at the Spa, or an early night in a very comfortable bed… or or come join us in the restaurant on site for drinks and more stories.
SUNDAY
Breakfast at the hotel, and off to the nearby Chantilly Polo Club, home of the Rallye d’Aumale. The rally is a challenging routemap event through the winding roads and stunning scenery around Chantilly. Picnic lunch is included, and also some unexpected breakpoints.
Once back at the Club, the Polo Match will begin, so time to spectate, maybe enjoy a glass of Champagne, and view or participate in the Concours d’elegance.
After a full and exciting day, it’s back to our hotel to get ready for the final TEAM WINS dinner, hosted at a secret venue closely and in the company of the Club D’Aumale team.
MONDAY
Breakfast at our hotel before heading back to Blighty. Eurotunnel crossing (c.13.00)
