Rally Completed28 to 30 March 2025Generations Rally 2025
Introducing historic motorsport to a younger audience
Summary
Our much-loved season opener was fully-subscribed again in 2025. Entrants came mainly from the UK, with some venturing from further afield including America and Switzerland. Based at the Majestic Hotel, Harrogate, the rally explored Yorkshire’s traffic-free roads and private venues in eye-catching and nostalgic sounding cars, with the old-fashioned fun of motoring being passed between crew members from two distinct generations.
