Discover Brittany is open
to everyone and there are
no eligibility requirements
other than an enthusiasm for
discovering the world in an old
car. It is open to crews of two
people so is perfect for couples.
Car eligibility
Ideally your car should be of a
model that was produced before
1986 and would therefore be
eligible for other Rally the Globe
events. We love to see vintage
and classic cars being used as
they were intended – the older
the better. However, if you have
something a little bit younger
that is still a little bit special,
please ask us and we’ll see if it
fits in with the spirit of the event.
Roads and time schedule
The roads we will use will be all
tarmac and rough surfaces will
be avoided wherever possible.
There is no competition on
this event. Each day we will
recommend an earliest and latest
start time from the hotel and
publish approximate times that
various sections might take, but
the schedule can be as flexible as
you want it to be. On the days that
we have arranged lunch, or other
experiences, these will be available
to you during a set time window.
The itinerary has been
designed to allow you to drive
sensibly and courteously at all
times – we’re a pretty openminded bunch when it comes to
driving, but aggressive or reckless
driving will not be tolerated.
Navigation
You will be provided with a tulip
style road book to enable you to
follow the route. This form of
route definition will be familiar
to most people and is very easy
to learn as it clearly defines all
important junctions and the
distances between them. These
distances have been measured
during our recce trip using a GPS
tripmeter and we recommend
that you have a similar device in
your car.
If you wish to make a diversion
to visit something of interest,
then you are of course free to do
so, and you will also be provided
with overview maps to give you a
feel of where you are in the world
and to help if you go off-piste
(intentionally or otherwise). This
will be an event where you will be
very welcome to “stop and smell
the roses” and even do a bit of
pruning if you wish to do so.
Hospitality
We have selected a variety of
high quality, usually small,
boutique style hotels, situated in
interesting destinations.
Bed and breakfast
accommodation will be provided
for the seven nights of the rally
based on the crew members
sharing a room. Although twinbedded rooms will be available
on request, unfortunately single
room options are unlikely to be
available.
A group dinner is included
most evenings, but some
evenings are left free for you to
explore the local areas and make
your own arrangements.
A few lunches will be provided
along the way, but generally
lunch and coffee stops have not
been arranged to allow you the
