2008 Classic India
I first visited India in 2003 and was totally captivated. India is without doubt the most colourful and chaotic country I have ever visited. Visiting each year and noticing the huge numbers of Ambassadors, I started to think about the possibility of running an International Ambassador Rally. Having participated in both competitive and non competitive rallies I have always preferred the latter as I like the time to explore places I am visiting.
In October 2006 we ran the first Classic India in which 60 people drove in 30 cars through some of India’s most beautiful scenery. The trip was a huge success (see Your Comments). We’ve just returned from the 2007 trip - another huge success - and we’re now busy planning for 2008. The rally is totally non competitive with reasonable time built into each day to stop and sightsee. We’ve made the route book as clear and easy as we can although in a country with few road signs it is still challenging. Not all the previous participants were veterans of past classic rallies. Despite the fact that for them, it was a completely new experience, they loved it. I have a wonderful team supporting me and we all work very hard to ensure you have an unforgettable time.
I look forward to seeing you in India next September.
