The Measham Rally
Bruntingthorpe, Lutterworth, Leicestershire, 19/20 January 2019
It seems its a VSCC run event and they are widening their doors on who can enter.
The Inter Register is one club they have extended the invitation. The JCC are member of the Inter Register, so this event is open to ALL Jowett models as the cut off is 1962.
Would you forward this on to anyone you may think could be interested.
Kind regards
Richard
We are delighted to invite Members of the Inter Register Club to take part in the Vintage Sports-Car Club’s celebrated Measham Rally, taking place at Bruntingthorpe near Lutterworth over the night of 19/20 January 2019.
First run in 1950, the Measham is one of the most important events in the VSCC calendar and the ultimate Pre-war motoring challenge. Always organised by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, a finish, let alone an award, on any Measham is a major accomplishment of which any motorsport Competitor can be proud.
This year we intend to introduce a new format for the Measham that will enthuse and entice those who are old hands at the event and those who we hope will try it for the first time. This event will be accessible to all but will continue to offer those challenges that the Measham is famous for.
In 2019 we are opening entries up to cars built before 1962 as we welcome historic cars to this iconic event.
The Start, Halfway and Finish will be at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome, an excellent venue, easy to get to from any part of the country, which offers ample trailer parking, undercover scrutineering, fettling facilities and plenty of plotting room.
Drinks and hot food will be available on site throughout the event, whilst there are some great village pubs with rooms and many lovely B&Bs in the area for those looking for local accommodation.
The route will be approximately 140 miles. Instructions in the 1st half will be by map reference only as traditional, whilst the 2nd half will be following a new format that will be easily accessible to all, with the emphasis being on accurate timekeeping. There will also be two sections timed to the second to act as a tie decider; these will be completed on the airfield before heading out on the main route.
All Competitors are encouraged to arrive earlier in the day, when we have been invited into the ‘Quick Reaction Hangar’ at Bruntingthorpe during the afternoon of the event to see the 1950’s Cold War Jets specifically the ‘Lightnings’ which are kept there and are being restored by enthusiasts, some of whom are VSCC Members of course.
