The Pyrenees 1000 is a new competitive classic car rally through the Pyrenees mountain range, as its name suggests, it takes advantage of some great roads and passes that are seldom used. The event starts and finishes in the beautiful town of Pamplona in northern Spain. It is a 1,000km drive through some of the most stunning mountain scenery in Europe and includes routes in France and Andorra.
The Pyrenees 1000 is a four day event, ideal for all levels of experience from the novice rally car driver to the most expert crews who want to brush up on their skills in beautiful surroundings or shake down their vintage car for a longer event. For the novice it’s a great introduction to historic regularity rallies in Europe. Starting and finishing in Pamplona the rally winds its way through the foothills of the Pyrenees before stopping in Andorra for a night. Following that it takes the mountain pass out of Andorra into France where it follows the northern side of the range to Pau for the second night on the road. With emphasis on fun, the competition will be on quiet roads to avoid upsetting the locals, and making it more interesting for the rally car navigator. There is no night time driving and most of the route and competition will be on tarmac, although we will find the occasional gravel road. For those who want a more relaxed drive we have a Touring Class event as well.
