Monte Carlo Rally Start - 29 January
Following the successful 2011 Monte Carlo Historique Rally start from Blythswood Square in Glasgow, the 2012 Monte start will begin from Clydebank, in the shadow of the famous A-listed Titan Crane. Clydebank will join Barcelona, Oslo, Turin, Reims and Warsaw as the 2012 official starting locations for the rally, which is one of the most famous motor sport events in the world. It is hoped the occasion, will exceed the over 6000 spectators that came to Glasgow in 2011. The new location has plenty of parking space to accommodate spectators.
Join the starters as they line up from 2.00pm on the Sunday afternoon before they depart on their 2190 mile trip to Monte Carlo from 5.00pm. Cars leaving Clydebank will drive through the night to Dover and over the English Channel to Calais. They will finish the event, if successful, on February 4th with a grand ceremony after participating in the famous regularity runs in the mountains above Monaco.
Bylthswood Heritage Run - 29 January
For those with Classic cars not going to Monte Carlo there is the Blythswood Heritage Run which departs over the ramp, immediately after the Monte starters have all departed on their way to Monaco. Similar to the 2011 event, but with a new route, the event gives owners and spectators a chance to see a wide range of cars that competed in the Monte rallies of the early fifties and sixties. Competitors will have the choice to either follow the Monte rally cars on their first leg toward Dumfries, or a shorter route to finish at Drymen. Entries can join the line-up of Classic Cars in the Monte Carlo show, (see below), so come along for 2.00pm and make a day of it. Entry is only £25.
