The AutoRaise Rally will this year take place from 7-9 September, following a route through East Anglia and Lincolnshire.
Entries for the Viking-themed fundraising event close of 27 March, with places reserved on a first-come, first-served basis with a £500 deposit per team.
The Rally will set off from Lotus Cars’ headquarters in Hethel, Norfolk, with overnight stops in Brigg and Lincoln.
Jen Evans, AutoRaise Business Manager, said, “We hope to sell out this year’s Rally and make it as much fun as 2022. I have put a huge effort into choosing the vast array of pit stops and activities en route. I just want people to enjoy themselves, and most importantly raise as much money as we possibly can.”
Steve Thompson, AutoRaise Vice Chair, added, “After the most successful AutoRaise Rally to date last year, we have given ourselves a huge challenge to exceed this, in terms of fun, networking and fund raising. Our decision to stay in the UK and take in three counties on our two-day ‘Viking themed’ rally was an easy one for us. We are hopeful that this will encourage more entrants from across the industry.
“Our starting grid this year will be at the Lotus Cars Headquarters in Hethel, Norfolk. We will start from their own test track and head out along the north Norfolk coast, through Cambridgeshire and into Lincolnshire as we again straddle the coastline with plenty of sites along the way.
“Not only is the driving and sceneries a huge pull for the AutoRaise Rally, but our evenings have been equally fantastic with live music, DJ sets and a suitable end to events with a feast fit for modern day Vikings on their voyage to raise awareness and income for young apprentices.”
The cost per team is expected to be £1,500, including meals, accommodation, lunches, refreshment breaks, drinks receptions and entertainment.
