A new international endurance rally club has been launched together with confirmation of an epic round the world motoring adventure in 2020/2021. Founded by renowned rallying mastermind Fred Gallagher, Rally the Globe will deliver outstanding trans-nation and inter-continental competition and camaraderie for owners of pre-1976 vintage and classic cars.
‘Carrera Iberia’ in October 2019 will mark Rally the Globe’s debut, providing entrants with some of the finest driving possible in Spain and Portugal. The focus then switches to East Africa for the inaugural ‘Southern Cross Safari’ in February 2020. Set in Kenya and Tanzania it takes competitors through both Masai Mara and Serengeti National Reserves before finishing beside the Indian Ocean.
Then comes the ultimate ‘Round the World’. Combining both adventure and endurance, it will be split into three sections: the first from London to Casablanca via the Sahara; the second from New York to Anchorage in Alaska and the third from Vladivostok in eastern Russia back to London. The rally will be staged over a total of 70 days between May 2020 and June 2021. Participants will be able to compete in one, two or all three legs of the rally.
