Event Categories Each of the events at Rally the Globe gives participants a unique experience as they explore a particular region of the world. Within these welcome limitations, these diverse events are loosely grouped into one of four Event Categories to give an indication of the relative levels of complexity, length, endurance and driving challenge that participants can expect. In an ascending order of perceived “toughness” the Event Categories are:
Our Carreras are all asphalt events, with hotels along the route chosen for luxury, quirkiness, or because of nearby historic rally cars highlights. The events will usually be between one and two weeks long. The competition on the Carrera will always include two or three Regularity Sections per day, with a Test featuring on most days. Where possible, we will use permanent race circuits for our Tests. The Carreras are designed to be friendly, sociable events, without overcrowding, to enable you to get to know all the other entrants over drinks in the bar and shared meals throughout the course of the event.
Marathons will be long-distance events, with the emphasis being on exploration and endurance. They will be the longest of our rallies, with a mix of Time Control Sections, Tests and Regularities on a variety of surfaces. There will be faster Regularity Sections where the terrain allows, and plenty of off-road sections. These events will usually take place in locations which require you to ship your vehicle.
These events will be around two to three weeks in length and will usually have a start and/or knish location that allows European competitors to drive their cars to or from the rally. In addition to Tests and Regularity Sections, Challenges will also feature Time Control Sections in remote areas and will use a wide variety of gravel and unsurfaced roads.
Our shortest events, up to one week in length, will normally have a specie c theme egg Vintage Rallies exclusively for pre-war cars, Generations Rallies for family pairings, etc. They will often spend more than one night in each hotel to focus on a thorough exploration of one or two specie c regions. There will be simple to moderate Regularity Sections, with the dive cult increasing over the course of the event, and some Tests at smaller private venues.
Our Rallies We organize Marathon and Challenge category rallies which are competitive, with Signiant off-road sections as well as Carrera category rallies which will explore the globe in a lighter competition environment, with minimal offroad sections and at a more civilized pace. All our club’s rallies will come with the highly experienced support crew and safety cover. We will always Nd (and we mean it) the best accommodation available and, because we are a not for port company, we will charge no more than the rallies cost to organize.
