The Lombard Rally Festival is heading to Devon for the first time, with Escot Park joining the 2026 calendar on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September.
Set within the stunning grounds of Escot Park, near Exeter, the new venue will welcome historic rally cars, legendary drivers and rally fans for a weekend celebrating some of the sport’s most iconic machines.
Unlike traditional forest rallies, the Lombard Rally Festival gives spectators the chance to get closer to the action. Visitors can watch live rally demonstrations throughout the day before heading into the paddock to meet the drivers, photograph the cars and hear the stories behind them.
A Festival of Historic Rally Cars
The event will feature an exciting collection of historic rally cars spanning several decades of rallying history.
From classic Ford Escorts and Audi Quattros to Group B legends and more modern World Rally Cars, the festival celebrates the cars that defined generations of motorsport.
Many of these vehicles are now too valuable or rare to compete in modern rallying, making the Lombard Rally Festival at Escot Park one of the few opportunities to see them running in anger once again.
Meet the Drivers
One of the unique aspects of the Lombard Rally Festival is the relaxed atmosphere.
Drivers are available throughout the weekend to meet spectators, sign autographs and chat about their rally careers.
