The Trial

18/05/2026

Last year, during the Winter Trial , rally-legend Peter Rushforth and Vincent Hayes made an epic roll in their Renault 4. One day before, Vincent told us the Renault always keeps it wheels on the ground, no matter how diagonal it goes through the corners. Well, Vinnie, maybe even a Renault 4 has its limits…

Luckily all drivers were okay, and Peter told us it was one of his nicer rolls he did in his career. Hopefully his last one, too. Peter and Vinnie joined the night loop a couple of hours later. Heroes.

New. And... already full: The Last Hurrah.
10 final additional entries now available.

You may have seen it in our newsletters or on the website: The Last Hurrah. A tribute to Philip Young, and in many ways a summer counterpart to the Winter Trial.
Well… it seems you’ve been waiting for it. Because The Last Hurrah is already fully booked, that's right, for a rally in september 2027!

Or rather: it was full. Originally, we planned to welcome just 30 crews for this brand-new rally (29 September – 2 October 2027). Those spots were gone within three weeks. So we opened up 10 extra entries. Good idea… but those filled up just as quickly, in little over a week.

After working closely with our locations around Lake Annecy, we managed to create space for 10 additional entries. 50 in total.
And that’s it.
When these are gone… we are really full.

So if you want to be part of the very first edition of The Last Hurrah, this is your moment.

Head over to https://classicevents.nl/event/last-hurrah/ to secure your entry and find all the details.
Don’t wait too long. This possibility won’t come around twice.
