Sunday 29th is the start of Monte Carlo Rally in Glasgow.


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.

Bylthswood Square Heritage Run

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.



Monte Carlo Show

A special period Monte Carlo Show will be located on the site of the former John Brown shipyard before the Monte cars leave the start ramp in front of the Clydebank College campus. Located beside the College bus terminal, in addition to some great club and trade stands, will be a show of around 100 pre 1980 Classic cars that would have taken part in past Monte Carlo Rallies.

If your car fits the bill and you would like to join the line-up of Monte and Heritage Run entries, then contact Jim Paterson; email jim.paterson@btinternet.com

Hi, its the usual 10am meet up, then whatever we decided to do...

That Monte thing sounds cool, maybe we could visit that, although parking may be a problem.

..love those old classics. My favourite era, even bought a pair of leather bonnet straps for my Corvette at the NEC, but can't find anywhere to fit them! ..doh!
