ClassicRallyPress Ltd
Established in 2002 and running rallies since 2007, ClassicRallyPress Ltd is led by Malcolm & Helena McKay from the delightful countryside of Somerset, England. Our unique formula combines map navigation through stunning scenery with full support including travelling mechanics, great hotels, regional cuisine and excellent, convivial company. We are very fortunate to have the support of our long-term marshals and mechanics, Jane, Sara, Mick and Mark, plus our erstwhile RAC crew Mike and Simon.
This website is under construction as our previous one required complete updating: this may take some time, as organising rallies comes first and website updating second - but please rest assured we have plenty of exciting new rallies in the pipeline!

OUR SIGNATURE RALLY
Liège-Brescia-Liège
Unique when it was first run in 1958, being the only rally in period just for one category of cars - microcars under 500cc - this very special event from the organisers of Liège-Rome-Liège, Spa-Sofia-Liège and the Marathon de la Route, had been completely forgotten until we revived it for the 50th anniversary in 2008.
Also known as the 'Little Liège', the superb rally route runs from Liège back to Liège via the Black Forest, through Italy via Misurina, on to Slovenia for two nights in glorious Ljubljana, back into Italy via the route des cols and the stunning Stelvio and Gavia to Brescia. Turning back north, via the Gavia and Stelvio in the opposite direction, there are more wonderful roads through the Italian Dolomites and southern Germany before we return through the Ardennes to Liège, Lots of navigational challenges, interesting visits and fun circuit tests add to the enjoyment along the way.
No less than 52 microcars took up the challenge for the 50th anniversary in 2008, supported by FIAT, and the event has run for numerous different groups since: look out for the next one soon!
OTHER EVENTS
Pyrenees, Greece, Ireland...
Since 2009 we have run events through other parts of Europe with quiet roads in delightful scenery - always breaking the mould with uniquely enjoyable routes and visits.
Our Pyrenees rallies don't just traverse the superb mountain roads of SW France and NE Spain, we also head to the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts and traverse northern Spain via the vineyards of La Rioja and completely deserted mountain roads in the interior, lined with mediaeval castles and historic villages.
The Mycenaean-Minoan Rally takes a unique historical perspective on Greece, exploring two of Europe's earliest civilisations in the context of absolutely stunning mountain and coastal road driving. We take 18 days to explore not just the mainland - north, centre and Peloponnese - but also the Ionian islands of Lefkada and Kefalonia, and almost a week on Crete. We visit the well-known sites of Athens, Thessaloniki, Delphi, Olympia, Heraklion, Mycenae and Meteora, plus many lesser-known and equally fabulous locations. And the hotels, the food and the people are amazing!
Our Irish rally, 'The Craic', explores the entire coastline of the Emerald Isle from Dublin clockwise round to Dublin again, with more than one night at each top-notch hotel and wonderful routes including the Wild Atlantic Way and so much more...
