Visitors to Race Retro are being given the chance to drive a classic rally car, thanks to HERO – the Historic Endurance Rallying Organisation.

For just £20, visitors to the event – which takes place at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire on March 24-26 – will be able to get behind the wheel of one of HERO’s rally-prepared cars, put it through its paces and get a feel for rally driving on a purpose-built course adjacent to the Live Rally Stage. Hero’s ‘Arrive & Drive’ fleet features classic vehicles that have undergone extensive restoration and are maintained daily by a team of in-house mechanics. Each car is prepared to meet the requirements of endurance rallying, as they can be hired for use at events all over the world.
