flexibility to discover things at
your own pace. We will make
some suggestions in the road
book of places where you may
wish to take breaks along the
way which are unlikely to require
advanced reservations.
What to take
We would expect you to carry
a fire extinguisher, warning
triangle, high visibility jackets, a
tow rope and a first aid kit. You
should also have an oil-resistant
ground sheet for hotel car
parks. We advise you to have a
tripmeter of some description to
assist with the simple navigation,
we recommend the Monit G-100+
as easy to use and to fit.
It is your responsibility to
have the appropriate insurance in
place – your usual car insurance
should cover you for this event,
but please check with your
insurer beforehand. We also
recommend European breakdown
cover so you can rely on this
for assistance with any onward
recovery in the event of a major
breakdown. And don’t forget
travel insurance to cover you
for unexpected issues before or
during the event.
You will need to take hard
copies of your car registration
document (V5 or similar)
and driving licence as well as
passports and any relevant
eVisa or e-travel documentation
as required. Depending on
where your driving licence was
issued, you may also require an
International Driving Permit.
Unlike competitive Rally the
Globe events, there will be no
formal safety checks of your
vehicle before the start. It is
your responsibility to ensure
that your vehicle is roadworthy,
complies with any local
legislation and is generally up
to the job.
On event support
We will have a well-equipped
mechanical assistance truck
with us on the event driven
by an experienced classic car
mechanic. The mechanic will
be able to provide advice and
support at the hotel each
evening and will also try to
assist with any vehicle issues
along the route. Please be aware
that the mechanic is unlikely
to be able to provide assistance
if you are not on the specified
route and major breakdowns
or time-consuming repairs will
require you to source your own
recovery support or book into
a local garage. The mechanic
will not be available for routine
maintenance tasks, so you
should be self-sufficient in this
regard, and you should carry
tools and a few spare parts to
allow you to undertake basic
repairs yourself.
We will also have a luggage
van to transport cases and bags
between the hotels during the
event.
The small but experienced
RtG team will be on hand to
offer assistance if and when it is
needed, but note that there will
not be any dedicated medical
support on this event.
Tolls and parking
Any toll payments and parking
charges at car parks along the
route will be paid directly by
crews on arrival and are not
included in the event fee.
Getting there and back
It is your responsibility to get crew
and car to and from the event.
There is a ferry crossing from the
UK to Saint-Malo, just a stone’s
throw from our start and finish
point in Dinard; and the ports
of Cherbourg, Roscoff and Caen
are all within a few hour’s drive.
For entrants wishing to fly and
ship their cars, whilst there are
many flights into France, direct
international flights into the northwest region are quite limited.
Our normal shipping partner is
CARS, and we can supply a list of
a number of UK based shippers on
request.
