Welcome to the Harvest Rally, a Navigational Rally running on 4th / 5th November 2023.
In the vein of the 2022 event, we are offering approximately 165 miles of challenging rallying on map 202 including the runs out and back
We welcome Chuley Road Garage who return as the event sponsor, a name that has been linked with SHMC and local motorsport for more years than they care to recall!
South Hams Motor Club have been running night road events since 1972 and we are constantly looking for the “ideal” format, listening to competitors and the changing conditions in the sport and area. We feel accuracy on both sides of the car will be required for a good result on our events. The South Hams is well known for being tight and twisty as previous entrants will testify – this event is about teamwork and great map-reading skills.
In recent years we have got more of an eye to the future of the sport, trying to encourage more newcomers to step up from 12 car to larger Clubman/Interclub events, and thus the events are being designed to be much kinder to cars, but not necessarily on the crews.
Starting and finishing at The Passage House Hotel at Kingsteignton, South Devon it is well located just off the A380 for those travelling from afar.
We look forward to receiving your entry which is just £98 and includes two breakfasts! If you have any questions please ask away, our details are further on in the SRs.
Kevin and the Organising Team.
