A Motorsport Experience
Unlike Any Other.

The Lombard Rally Festival series showcases iconic rally cars in dynamic, non-competitive demonstrations at some of the UK’s most beautiful stately homes and estates.

STAGE 01

Live Rally Demonstrations

Watch historic rally cars in action across specially designed routes. See everything from ex-works Group B monsters to early WRC machines pushed to their limits.

For those who prefer a relaxed pace, our Scenic Tours start on Saturday morning and navigate gorgeous British countryside before finishing at the active rally venue.
