Chelmsford Motor Club is pleased to welcome you to its historic road rally, The East Anglian Classic. We are once again delighted to be a round of the HRCR Clubmans Rally Championship.
The event will be starting and finishing in Bury St. Edmunds with easy access from the A14 trunk road. We will be visiting some test venues not used before on the East Anglian Classic. We will also be visiting some different parts of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
This year we will be running as a two day event, starting on Saturday afternoon and finishing Sunday afternoon. We will again be running The East Anglian Classic Run, a clubmans event for pre-1991 cars, for competitors holding the free RS Clubman licence. Navigation for the Run will be by marked map, and the route and tests will be exactly the same as the Rally, so this will provide a ‘bridge’ between classic runs and the HRCR championship for those wishing to progress in their classic motorsport. We are also running the East Anglian Classic Challenge, a clubmans event similar to the Run but consisting of the Saturday leg only.
Again we will be supporting the East Anglian Air Ambulance, which provides airborne response across the region funded entirely by charitable donation. £15 per entry (£5 for the challenge) will be donated by the club, and competitors are offered the opportunity to make a further donation using the entry form.
The route will cover around 160 miles around the picturesque lanes of Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire, many of which have not seen a rally car for several years. The type and format of last year’s regularities was well received and this year’s event will be no different including at least one section of traditional plot’n’bash. Navigation will be straightforward and the types of navigation used will be defined in the final instructions to avoid any confusion.
This year’s entry fee will include supper on Saturday evening and a buffet lunch at the finish on Sunday afternoon.
