Whether you are a regular competitor, or new to historic daylight regularity rallying, the Tour of Cheshire 2026 will have an event for you. As previously announced, our event on Saturday March 7th will have the usual Inter Club status event and running alongside, the reintroduced (in 2025) Clubmans event.

The Clubsmans Event will have straight forward navigation instructions that will not require plotting on the map. This is ideal for those starting a journey into daytime competitive regularity rallying, or anyone wishing to reduce the pressure on navigators.

We will be at the HRCR Open Day at the British Motor Musuem Gaydon on Saturday January 10th from 09.30 to answer any queries you may have.

We are delighted to welcome back "Blackhurst Garages, of Whitchurch" as one of our supporters for the 2026 Tour of Cheshire, alongside regular supporters -

• Don Barrow Rally Navigation Equipment

• Rally the Globe (RtG) - run events for motorsport enthusiasts who want to explore the world in historic and classic vehicles.
• Roberts Vain Wilshaw, chartered surveyors specialising in commercial property.

Please use all these organisations, if you can, as that will encourage them to continue to support our event and help us to keep your entry fee down. I'm sure you will all appreciate, we like all events, face significant price increases for test venues, catering establishments etc so we are very grateful to our sponsors who give their support to the event and therefore help us to keep the increases in entry fees as low as possible. The entry fee for 2026 will be £230.

As previously announced, we are returning the start and finish venue used for 2025 - Crewe Vagrants Sports Club, Newcastle Rd, Nantwich CW5 7EP. This is less than a mile off the A500 just to the south of Nantwich.

Our team promise the usual non-car damaging event with a schedule allowing time to enjoy the rest halts for coffee, lunch and tea. The 150ish mile route will mostly be within Cheshire with a very brief excursion into neighbouring Staffordshire. The navigation instructions for those entering the Inter-Club event will all be straight forward, no 'plot and bash' and the 10 special tests, for both events. There will be the customary Cheshire Cheese for the finishers after they have concluded a good day's motorsport followed with the usual post event supper and awards presentation.

Don't forget Entries Open date -19.00 hrs Monday January 5th 2026.
