Fancy something different?
Well, with 14 months to go, the
organisers of The Sydney to London Classic Marathon Rally are pleased to
announce that the first cargo plane - which will transport competitors'
cars to Turkey from the end of the Australian leg - is now full.
With several people, who had
previously expressed interest, recently confirming their intention to
enter the event, together with several new enquiries, the organisers
expect the second plane to become full before long.
In other breaking news, Hannu Mikkola
and his son, Vesa, have joined the entry. Hannu competed on the 2000
London to Sydney Marathon with his other son, Juha, and returns to
tackle the event in the opposite direction driving a Ford Escort RS1800.
Buy Back Deal: The organisers have put in place a buy-back deal for the Challenge Regularity Event, enabling entrants to fly into Sydney and pick up a BRAND NEW
4x4 vehicle, ready-prepared for the event. The vehicle can be purchased
for AUS $36,000, and it would then be bought back for AUS $22,000 at
the end of the event in London.
The Challenge Event is for
any suitable passenger car, including 4x4 recreational vehicles,
licensed for use on the public highway, with a crew of up to four
people. Entrants will normally follow the same route as the Competition
Event and will have regularity sections most days.
Entrants in both the
Challenge and Competition Events can choose to do the whole route, or
opt for either the Australian or European legs only.
Service vehicles
are now permitted for the Classic Car Rally with "basic" and "premium"
options available. "Basic" includes identification plates, service book,
road books, daily bulletins and access to official car parks, but with
no air or sea transport or hotels provided.
"Premium" Service includes all of Basic Service, plus hotels, and air and sea transport for a crew of two.
