A highly popular award-winning event for historic/classic cars, the Generations Rally returns for its third running in 2024 and, as part of this year’s event, is visiting the rally/drift course at Oulton Park for three fairly high-speed tests.
As in previous years, this rally is specifically targeted at crews from different generations, encouraging the continuation of passion for historic motorsport.
Just like the Tour of Cheshire, we are helping Knutsford Motor Club by running the Oulton tests on the afternoon of 22nd March.
The entry list has been full since last November with ninety pre-1980 cars ranging from 1920s Bentleys to 1970s Porsches with Minis, Escorts and even a Capri and a Range Rover thrown in. https://rallytheglobe.com/generations-rally-2024/
By the time they get to us, the navigators should have got the hang of presenting time cards too!
We need around 15 marshals to look after the starts & finishes, observers on the course, and marshals to direct cars to the correct start area as they arrive (cadet marshals are welcome in the pre-start areas). Can you help? Past experience isn’t necessary for most roles, nor are orange overalls. First Car approx 1pm, last car finishes by 5pm.
I know it’s immediately before NW Stages, but this would suit marshals who are not helping on the “modern” event the following day. We are especially interested in hearing from 4 people with experience of using Liege clocks.
Can you help? For a flavour of the event, see their promo video here:

We are running the tests at Oulton Park once again for Knutsford & District Motor Club’s superb Tour of Cheshire Historic Rally, on Saturday 2nd March.
The event will be visiting the Rally/Drift stage at Oulton twice in the morning with two tests on each visit.
Would you like to help?
We need around 20 marshals to look after the starts & finishes, observers to note any cars that touch a cone or go all 4 wheels off the course, and marshals to direct cars to the correct start area as they arrive. Can you help? Past experience isn’t necessary for most roles, nor are orange overalls.
