Ecosse - Monaco
Follow in the tyre tracks of the historique cars as they leave Glasgow, but
at a more leisurely pace, and overnights in some great accommodation.
This
tour starts over the same ramp as the Monte cars, then heads for the Cote D'Azur while still
meeting up with the competitors at some of the main control points.
Run to the Loch. Experience the feel of an alpine drive through Scotland's countryside. A 40 mile tour to a famous loch.
Run to the Borders.
This tour will take you to a well known border control of years
past follwing the route of those Monte cars.
All the tours include Rally Plates and Roadbook. Cars representing those that would have taken part in the Monte Carlo
Rallies from the 1940’s through to the 1970’s will be especially welcome. The event
will be flagged off from the Start Ramp of the Rallye Monte Carlo
Historique, once the Rally cars have been cheered on their way. Regs for all three now available.

| Tour of the Kingdom - 6 April A
change of scenery for those regulars of the Argyll Classic. Moving the
event east to the Kingdom of Fife offers not only a change of scenery
but a chance to drive some of the lesser known roads in this unique
part of Scotland. There may even be the opportunity to try a few optional tests as well.

| International
Auto Ecosse - 7 & 8 June Starting
at Dumfries this favourite in the calendar, with both CCHMSC and our
Club Triumph friends, will drive a new route to take in some venues of
past years heading north to the Fort William area. The second day
offers a choice, either join Highland Car Club's Great Glen
Rally for a great day of tests, see below, or continue the tour over
some roads never before travelled on this event. All get together at
the finish in Inverness. Wilderness? You don't know the meaning of the
word until you drive these fantastic roads! |
| Great Glen Rally - 8 June Following
the success of the inaugural event in 2013 Highland Car Club are
putting together a sequel that will take crews, be they old hands or
newcomers, to some new exciting venues for a series of great tests
