Car is prepped and ready on the quayside as the loading begins. Tish has done her prep and Tina and I helped as much as we could. Car tidied and cleaned out. Puff is ready to be lifted up into the ship to sail away at midnight … next stop Rio de Janeiro.

On 6th May the rally would restart in South America. We have made it on to the boat ….and on with the Rally ….hooray.

World Cup Rally 50 postponement

Hello All,

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, HMRG have had to make a very difficult decision and regret to announce the postponement of the WCR50 event on the 19th April 2020.

We have had concerns for the health and well being of those attending and although this wasn’t an easy decision it became inevitable due to advice from authorities.

Overseas visitors were going to find it impossible to get here and of course not everyone is in the best of health, making the risk too great to carry on.

Whilst there will undoubtedly be disappointment among the many exhibitors, visitors, volunteers and organisers alike, it would have been irresponsible to endanger the health and well-being of those individuals .

It has been agreed with the British Motor Museum, Gaydon that we can hold the event on 18th April 2021, WCR50 + 1 has been suggested and adopted as the name for the event.

Hopefully everyone understands the reasons and we will keep you up to date with any new developments or events we may be attending later in the year.

Please feel free to contact us if you wish.

Kind Regards

Andrew Bradbury

Chairman HMRG
