Grass roots motorsport since 1965
ONLINE entry service (opens 20.00 hrs, 15th Sept.)
Welcome to the Guy Fawkes Rally, a Navigational Rally running on 9th / 10th November 2024. We are offering approximately 140 miles of challenging rallying on OS maps 191 / 192 including the runs out and back.
We thank Chuley Road Garage who 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. Our part of Devon is well known for being tight and twisty as previous entrants to our events will testify – this 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.
Marshals Wanted!
As always we need a lot of helpers to make sure the rally runs smoothly - no experience necessary - if you can offer any help on the night (or before) please get in touch.
Note about Entries (Article 6/SRs.): ...will be selected in a “first come, first served” basis for the first 40 entries. If after 5 full days after entries open, the maximum number has been reached then the remaining 20 entries will be selected at the “organiser’s discretion”. If it has not been reached at this point, entries will be selected in a “first come first served basis”.
The maximum number for the event is 60, should more entries be received this figure, a reserve list of 10 will be created and will be contacted if an entry becomes available.
Entries will close at Midnight 25th September.

UPDATE: 14/10/24 - POSTPONED
It is with great regret here at SHMC we have been left with little choice but to postpone the Guy Fawkes rally due to be held on 9/10 November 2024.
Following on from our Facebook post at the weekend we haven’t seen enough entries materialise in the last couple of days. Our start/finish venue requires payment and with 120 miles of PR to embark on, our small team has been forced to cry enough.
Possibly we misjudged the date who knows? It’s tough as an organiser and club….. competitors want events but organisers need entries to make them viable to run and that’s just from a financial aspect let alone the countless hours volunteers put in to get them off the ground.
We will look into potential new dates in the New Year to see if we can find a home for the route.
We would like to thank and apologise to those of you that have entered.
We wish other events in the calendar more luck in finding the entries.
Hopefully we will see you at the Primrose 11/12 January 2025…….
Kevin and the Organising Team

We are pleased to announce the SHMC loyalty card scheme partnered with our friends Paul & Natalie Howard at JDM Garage UK.
With us running 3 night events now we have decided to give something back to you the competitors for your support. So here goes……….
At the Harvest rally signing on all competitors (yes Driver & Nav) will be issued with a loyalty card to keep. Then collect your next stamp at Guy Fawkes signing on and finally at The Primrose….. upon receiving your 3rd stamp you will get a £10 discount for your Primrose entry Fee.
All completed cards will then be put in a draw to win one of 3 FREE entries to one of the SHMC Night events in the 25/26 season (draw will take place at the Primrose drivers briefing). So what do you need to do ????? Nothing!!!! apart from turn up and enjoy all 3 night events and DON'T LOSE YOUR CARD !!!
Thanks again to Paul & Natalie Howard for helping us make this possible.
As part of our commitment to:
• The protection of the environment
• Reducing the detrimental impact of events on the environment
• Improving the sustainability of motorsport in the UK
We donate a small environmental levy from our events to offset the CO2 produced by all competing vehicles, and that of the South Hams Motor Club organisers on the event. We invest this in a local tree planting scheme managed by local charity MOOR TREES to permanently offset the carbon produced and to achieve net-zero carbon for our events.
