Marbella Classic Grand Prix - June 8th 2014

MARBELLA, Spain - May 6, 2014 - PRLog -- Following the success of the BALATON CLASSiC and MiSTER CLASSiC, the organisers have decided to spread their wings to the glamorous destination of Marbella and Puerto Banus and arrange an exclusive one day open road race (Classic Regularity Rally), for classic, road-legal cars produced before 31st December 1980. There will be just 50 cars allowed to participate in the first edition of the race and entries will be reviewed by the Race Committee to ensure an exceptional selection of classic cars.

This event of skill and timing takes place on public roads, adhering to the rules of the Highway Code and requires participants to complete sections in a predetermined time, as well as special stages requiring split second accuracy. These special stages are completed at slow speeds without stopping the car and penalty points given for every 0.01 second difference from the allotted completion time. The winner is the team with the fewest penalty points throughout the day and will be presented with their awards at a glamorous prize giving ceremony and gala dinner.

The event is officially timed by internationally recognised sport judges ChronoMoto, the official timekeeping team of the FIA Rallycross European Championship, and is in association with CASINO Marbella and Marbella Town Hall. It will turn Marbella into the latest destination for classic car fans and collectors and be a draw for both drivers and tourists alike.

Race Founders Attila J. HEGYI & Zoltán PÉTERVÁRI commented “We are delighted to have the support of Jose Luis Hernandez and all the team at the Marbella Town Hall in making the first edition of this race a reality and allowing us to show off this beautiful city and its surroundings to classic car enthusiasts from around Europe.”
