Rally the Globe is a
not-for-profit club
that exists to support
a broad family of
motorsport enthusiasts
who want to explore
the world in vintage
and classic vehicles.
We go out of our way
to find memorable
accommodation.
You will be with a
great bunch of likeminded people creating
memories that will last
forever.
ntering
The Islands of Japan
Marathon is open to crews
of all abilities, although you
may wish to consider entering
a shorter event to gain some
experience first. Husbands and
wives, parents and children, and
just good friends all compete on
our events. The evening social
gatherings ensure life-long
friendships are forged – united in
an adventure.
Eligible cars
Just about any car of a type built
before the end of 1976. If your car
was built in the late 1970s, but it
is similar to an earlier car, then it
is almost certainly eligible. If you
are uncertain, please check with us
before submitting your entry form.
We love to see people using
older cars so there is an entirely
separate classification for cars of
a specification produced before
the end of 1945.
Please note that there are
complexities with importing cars
registered in Germany, Austria
or Luxembourg into Japan. If this
might affect you, please contact
us before submitting an entry.
Event description
The Islands of Japan Marathon
will use both gravel and asphalt
roads. We use minor roads to
explore areas that few tourists
will ever see, some of which will
present driving challenges. We
go out of our way to avoid really
rough roads where possible.
On this event you will
encounter some “regularity”
sections, where you will try
to arrive at secret checks at
a precise time. We have also
planned tests on private land,
tracks and circuits.
Underlying the competitive
elements will be the basic
challenge of driving the length
of Japan in a fifty-year-old car.
