PRESENTATION OF THE RALLY

This fourth edition of the MARBELLA GRAND PRIX organized from May 28 to June 1, 2025 is a motorized tour open to oldtimers sports vehicles  and modern GTs. (2 categories)

This Tour is  absolutely not a sports event and only makes sense within a recreational context.

Its purpose is to allow automobile enthusiasts and collectors of vintage vehicles to run their vehicles in optimal safety conditions. It also promotes meetings between neophytes and car enthusiasts by discovering the landscape, architectural, cultural and gastronomic heritage of the regions crossed.

The tour is organized so that each participant, regardless of the age and capacity of their vehicle, can complete the route in good safety conditions. It takes place on open roads, in compliance with the Highway code, with the concern not to disturb the tranquility of local residents.

The departure of participants is staggered so as not to interfere with road traffic.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TOUR

The «Marbella Grand Prix» consists of a navigation tour of approximately 750 km over 3 days after a registration day, mapped out on the public road, in which the participants use a classic road book.

We chose the most beautiful scenic routes for this. It is definitely not a speed race. The participants are requested to always observe the traffic regulations and to be extra careful within the built-up area and play areas.

The crew of the vehicles consists of two people, the driver and the co-pilot navigator.

If you wish to bring more than 2 persons in your vehicle, these must be booked as an extra, for insurance, accommodation and catering.
