How could we follow LE JoG RALLYE? 2500 miles of the best roads in Britain, from end to end, raising over £1000 for The Salvation Army's emergency response vehicles.

Proudly presenting 2008's challenge - 'RALLYE du RETOUR'.

 


The same (and more!) great people, cars, the same bargain basement budget and back-roads ethos, as we take our 106 Rallyes home to the factories that built them over a decade ago, back to the roads of their native France, and for a first trip (for most of us) to the legendary Nordschleife, before returning home.

 

 

We have obtained sponsorship to raise money for the invaluable work of The Salvation Army's Emergency services, throughout the United Kingdom. Most recently, the Liverpool-based team were amongst those first on the scene to support those involved in the tragic rail accident at Lambrigg, in Cumbria.

Advertising space on the participants cars can be purchased in exchange for a donation (details on request) and all corporate donors will receive copyright-free photographs which they may use for their own public relations.

Your online sponsorship will be used to help people when they need it most. Please use the link to the right to contribute to the fund.
