WHAT TO EXPECT

AN UNFORGETTABLE 24 HOURS

The whole day will be brought together by a voluntary board of directors, organising team and group of celebrity Ambassadors who donate their time and energy to ensure you have a truly memorable time.

BREAKFAST & BRIEFINGS

The day will begin with a welcome breakfast at a luxury hotel, where you can admire the stunning lineup of cars. If you’re driving one of the Hope Classic Rally classics, you’ll be introduced to your car for the day and receive a full technical briefing before getting behind the wheel.

 

OUTBOUND ROUTE

Once you cross the start line, you will embark on a scenic route carefully designed to let you fully appreciate and enjoy the car at its best. Our team of expert mechanics will be available throughout the day to offer support whenever needed.

 

PIT STOP LUNCH

We will host a fabulous pit stop lunch where you will be able to stretch your legs and take in the fantastic showcase of cars. After your morning on the road, you can catch up with your fellow drivers and reflect on your experience so far.

 

RETURN ROUTE

After leaving the pit stop and making your way back to the hotel, you will have the chance to check-in to your room to freshen up and prepare for the exciting evening ahead.

 

DRINKS RECEPTION & DINNER

To celebrate everyone’s day on the road, you will enjoy a drinks reception and dinner in the grounds of the hotel. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to bid in our auction in support of WeSeeHope, to listen to a celebrity guest speaker, and to learn a little more about the positive impact you have had by being part of the Rally from the charity themselves.

“What I love about the Hope Classic Rally is beyond the fun of the day, the classic cars and the lovely dinner, we are changing lives and creating a legacy for amazing young people in Sub-Sahara Africa. It’s what this event is all about.”

SOCIAL IMPACT

A RALLY WITH A PURPOSE

Since our launch in 2015, we have raised over £2.6 million to support the charity WeSeeHope.

This has helped an estimated 110,000 families across Sub-Saharan Africa build financial resilience and break the cycle of extreme poverty by:

PROVIDING

young people with access to vocational and business skills training so they can make the most of their talents, develop market-ready skills and access business pathways.

BUILDING

the skills of parents and guardians in community banking, finance and business so they can start exciting small enterprises that unlock countless benefits for their children.

The results speak for themselves: for every £1 WeSeeHope spends on training, equipment and resources, the entrepreneurs it supports go on to generate £4, a return that turns short-term funding into long-term, self-sustaining financial resilience for entire communities.

 
 

OUR TEAM

WHO WE ARE

We are led by a dedicated board of directors who have a shared love of classic cars and commitment to WeSeeHope.

They work together with a talented organising team and group of Ambassadors who donate their time and energy to ensure every guest has a truly memorable time.
